But atfter that i have have nothing positive to say. Constantly beeps and flash's some stupid warning at me. It feels sh1te to drive. Is fairly pricey with regards to servicing it and some indie's dont have the prog to reset a number of the faults etc..... I'll do ya a great deal on mine:D If ya do have specific qustion just ask.

Constantly beeping and displaying messages about tyre pressure not being monitored and low tyre pressure, "abs" faulty, fuel level too low etc etc. All of these have been checked and are faulty yet appear and beep everytime you turn the car on.

The valves on the tpms can corrode and break if the owner is not careful when pumping up the tyres...this is also a common problem on the laguna's. A "abs" faulty message is usally down a failed speed sensor....once replaced it should be fine. Fuel level to low usally indicates you need diesel...:)

They break so much its not worth having them coded. The company who make the abs sensor have gone out of business and as of the last time we were at the garage no company had not been sourced to supply new ones. As for the diesel sensor the garage can't seam to find a fault with it. The computer sensor registers even when the car is full of diesel. We're all stumped by that one

The tpms system can be disabled if need be...You can swap out the old tpm stems for these.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JAGUAR-LAND-RANGE-ROVER-FORD-tpms-valves-433mhz-/370461977279?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5641412abf you just need to remove the corroded stems and fit the landrover ones...keeping your original sender so theres no need for recoding..:) With the diesel sensor problem i have never came across it before......Do you leave the ignition on when you fill up with diesel..?

They said this could be the problem but would require to take the dash out and have a poke around behind it. Again alot of hassle and money, which i don't want to pour into this car so will probably have it turned off aswell.

It has plenty of go for a 1.6 diesel and averages around 52 mpg. I still think my 15 year old 406 td is more comfortable tho......:) You should be able to pick a 07 for around your budget as everyone is after the 08 for the low tax bracket,the way i look at it if your getting 07 for a few grand less then that few grand would cover alot of road tax...:)http://www.donedeal.ie/find/all/for-sale/Ireland/07%20407?source=all
