Excellent - I look forward to some piccies and more details......+++

Well - it arrived.

Ninja black, black windows, black leather and carbon trim. Almost as perfect as you can get.

Turns out its been looked after for its high mileage life, and has a stainless exhaust as well as KW coilovers.
The service book is full, but im trying to find out more about it from a well respected tuning company in Sheffield who looked after it.
Surprisingly, it holds together rather well and theres evidence of reasonably fresh suspension arms at the front, discs are quite fresh both front and rear, and rear pads look quite new.
It needed a set of front pads and a track rod end to make it roadworthy, its got a couple of electrical gremlins going on, but its booked in at my good friends auto electrician for that.
I took an absolute gamble on what was a trade in - the guy actually said 'we buy job lots from a dealer and we HAD to take that one'

Pics i'll maybe leave for a bit in the hope that the electrical gremlins are cured. If not its getting shifted on (probably make a profit on it if i do)
If they are cureable then they will be fixed & then on to the paint shop.

Sounds interesting... What sort of gremlins are we talking - The C5 is relatively simple beast, and most of anything that goes wrong is the convenience model from what I understand....

The ABS warning light is on - showing o/s/f speed sensor intermittent.
I suspect its a sign of ABS pump/ecu failure

The wipers and indicators don't work when the cars first switched on - They start working after about 2mins and are fine after that.

The convenience module is usually waterlogged - this one is bone dry.

Currently at the auto electricians for full diagnosis
