Sellers do that when out of stock so they don't have to relist and pay a relist fee.

Front flexi blowing. From numerous sources it shouldn't have a flexi. That would explain the welding bodge on it. Ordered a new exhaust from ecp. Place bets on what will turn up

Dont believe the hype. The mileage indicates how many miles since I last brimmed it. Gauge doesnt work too well. Very erratic reading. It stayed there till indicated 305 miles when I put 20 quid in. That has given me a ful tank reading on the gauge but I know when the tank is actually full the gauge reads empty.
