Good Luck maybe if you have a scanner ask if you can plug it in to see what codes are stored.
Hopefully just lack of use and stop and starting 100% some battery voltage induced codes.

Cheers Phil, haven’t got a scanner but I do have a good couple of garages in deepest Devon that have some surprising kit they deal with if it looks of interest.

It has been for sale for a while, the main issues I suspect are the cosmetics, the side skirts have had a proper kicking, both bumpers need doing, and getting a match isn’t going to be a simple process.

When it was for sale elsewhere at the start of this year it had Larini boxes which aren’t on it now, originally asking £18k. Has been on a private plate, 4NPY.

Def needs the codes read before anything.

Thanks Zep. A hard life possibly?

Being a novice one of my biggest initial concerns would be clutch wear. Any rough parameters in what a replacement would cost?

Not a 100% sure , but things to change at a minimum would be clutch / release bearing/spiggot bearing/ and possibly clutch position sensor , pressure plate could possibly come into the equation on dismantling but unlikely due to the mileage , dont think you would see much change from £2300 or there abouts if done at an Indie

Highly likely that’s a proper car if it’s still available, Frank’s a stand up chap and knows how to look after a Gransport, he’s had 3, I’ve known him 14 years.
Fine car Dickie, But its nots Fuji , I know what its like to be fixated on a particular colour rather than the car itself .........fatal flaw I know

Have you seen Fuji in the flesh? It can be stunning but does not wear well it seems and as Zep suggests is a bugger to match. As the car is close to you then you can judge for yourself of course.

Silver is often overlooked as a colour but is surprisingly rare on the GS and GT and shows the lines so well.

Lol having had 2 of them in silver , and silver mercs , I found them a bit boring , and just as hard to match paintwork wise to the trained eye. But agreed needs an experienced painter to try and blend it in ............he says with a silver Bentley but in defence its pearlescent silver which breaks up the general appearance

How can the advert say switch gear has no visible signs of stickiness when you can see finger prints all over the vents and every switch looks sticky? The drivers door pocket has a tear, the passenger door over the speaker has a ding and the interior looks like it's been used to carry potatoes.... I'm not even sure the ad relates to car in the photos! Definitely one to go over with a fine comb and not be swayed by the colour, unless you get a deal.

I understand the Fuji Fixation, I tried hard to work on a logic to buy one of the other ones, but it was just too rough and the PPI was pretty bad. Also the seller was very hard work.

Fuji is stunning - the one I looked at had blue leather and a footrest, carbon inserts, cruise control, it was a nice spec car just a dog unfortunately.

There is definitely something special about an early Fuji car in launch spec.

I saved myself a lot of Agro by buying the red one I have, I did twitch when I saw the white one Richard had but I’m so happy with mine
