Hi none really just the usual wear and tear items brakes, battery, servicing, occasional addition of a DPF cleaner in with the fuel should keep it nice and clean if you do a lot of short journeys and don't buy supermarket fuel as it kills the engine in record time.

But I have problem with screen washer bottle, it's leaking I think it will need replacing but don't know how to do it.
Steve Q Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 Should be a straight forward job. I personally always get a qualified mechanic to do the work even though I understand the theory
