hello i brought this car for £1600 and it seemed fine i got the dps filter cleared and drove to cornwall and back it was okay but it has popped up saying the suspension is faulty however it seems okay i think it’s a sensor. but the other problem is it says gearbox faulty i had a mechanic have a quick look he thinks it’s the lever when you change to auto i just never got it fixed as i got a new car. it goes into reverse and neutral fine just struggles with auto it sometimes works straight away other it takes about 10-20 mins. i want at least £500 for the car just needs someone who can fix it and sell it on thank you
