    Have you had any problems with the car?

    I love my car BUT i can be sitting in a traffic jam completely stationary and my speedo will shoot up to 140mph and the volume on my radio shoots up. Its quite embarrasing as every one looks at you thinking im having a rave party but unfortunately its just me jumping off my seat.

    Its always black even when i wash it.
