i know how you feel, i jst got a s1 rs turbo as a little now and again car, everything is going wrong!
and 2 compeltely top it off 2day it was outside my house and i hadnt gota new permit for it yet, and it was broken down and would start! then the ************ parking twats come and lift it!! so had 2 go get it back from the pound when it would start,,,,hour or so in the pound with a spanner or 2, some jumper cables, and the trusty roll of gaffer tape and she was going again..but not for long!
