  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Engines ok, the noise you hear after you turn off the engine is the auxillary water pump and should turn off after 8 mins. Check the radiator fans working, check water and oil levels, ask for the sump plug to be double checked once every 6 months

    Other

    The rear seats are TOTALLY removable, look for the catches in the bottom corners and remove the back part then pull up the bottom part and pull up.
