Hello everyone from sunny Benidorm.
A bottle of red and late night EBay before we left and I’m the proud owner of a ‘spares or repair’ 2.5i with a good spec, lovely sounding engine and a bunch of electrical gremlins following a longstanding flat battery (2 years) and a hasty jump start.
Will see it tomorrow when we get home, it was delivered on a trailer!
Project before spring arrives.
I may be calling on you experienced folk for advice.
Regards Tony

Welcome to the club..
The "gremlins" you refer to could well be caused by it going into "transport mode" due to the flat battery, nice easy fix if that's the problem!

Welcome to the forum OP!
A bottle of red in Benidorm on Ebay - the perfect way to buy a car!
Good luck sorting the gremlins, and don't forget the photos.
