Hi from Devon.

Hi, proud new owner of a 2.7 v6. Pick it up tomorrow. Had a drive before buying and I was impressed. Not much history with it so I took a bit of a chance I suppose. Done 74,000 miles. It was cheap though!

Hi I drove the car around for about an hour and it seems great. Couple of issues such as no washers at the moment, could just be empty though I haven't checked yet. The interior light isn't coming on when you open the door? Door sensor maybe? Anyway I am sure there will be other things as well!
Love it though. :)

It's a common problem tbh (the washers) not hard to fix.
the button on the body the door pushes in May be sticking

Light button for the door was off! Too dark to investigate the washers.

What is the common issue with the washers? Is it usually the pump? Thanks in advance.
