Well we was a 2xG2 family for little less than 24 hours.
We picked up BT52 CNV and less 35 miles down the M42/40 it was Christmas tree lights time engine failsafe mode was activated
and a total loss of power and the V8 fell silent so car was recovered back to our home ........ this morning we recovered the RR back to the seller
who gave a full refund and or Px car"4motion Golf" back ........So the hunt will go on for G4 or D3/4 or Range rover

That's not good. Maybe that's the reason why it was traded in.

A good diagnostics tool would hopefully identify the problem which inevitably would be expensive.
It is now one to avoid or go in knowing the problems and offering around £7k-8k telling the dealer of the known problems and that he will never shift it, especially as it is a specialist vehicle where most potential buyers contact the club first.

3 months but as he was hiding the fact there was problems with the car and he asked not to start talking about trading standards
and he knew Jude works for Thames Valley Police and he offered a full refund straight away

Would need a new engine after it's been run on lpg for that many miles. The petrol v8 engine is quite bullit proof, I would of said it wouldn't be cheap to sort it out. Bits for that 4.4 bmw engine are not cheap.
