  1. That sounds like the starter motor 

    Probably go on forever but have heard this sound many times before and sounds like the pinion gear is dry and slow in returning when the engine starts

  2. Hi...welcome to the Club

    Quite a rare model now and you can check 'How Many Left' on a search to see how rare it actually is in the UK

    Should be able to find bits and pieces on eBay but may have to be from European sellers

  3. Worth having the battery changed as it could be getting a bit low
    Also, I believe there may be an issue with the microswitches becoming detached from the circuit board inside the fob.
    If you take it into a locksmiths that can change the battery they should be able to tell you if this is the case

  4. I think if it was a belt it would most definitely squeal on start up
    Belt tensioners can also cause this sort of noise but most generally a squealing belt is down to the make (or most importantly where it is made) and doesn't contain much rubber content, more of a synthetic silicon material which will squeal and stretch no matter how much you tighten it over time

  5. Hi....welcome to the Club

    I would be tempted to look at the gearbox end of the cables as there may be an obstruction between the selector mechanism or even a cable fault.
    Otherwise I do know that the plastic cup that the gear lever sits in does wear and sometimes break up so if there is a lot of upward movement in the lever then this may be the case

    Please let us know what you find to be the cause

    Good to have you onboard!

  6. Crikey I am surprised about a loose battery terminal in this day and age, used to be a very common problem many years ago on older cars and batteries but don't tend to hear about that much nowadays unless someone just didn't tighten it properly.

    The mirror fault sounds like reverse polarity on the motor or switch possibly (a small DC motor can run either way if polarity is reversed)

  7. Hi....welcome to the Club

    Sounds like the mirror programming could be out which would also affect the lane departure

    I would definitely go back to the dealers and insist they re-programme the mirror/lane departure calibration settings

    Let us know how you get on with it all
