Due to the fact that i have three children all wanting to learn how to drive i may have to trade my Qt 500 in for a conventional car, so i can teach them and add them onto the insurance.I am a little reluctant as i love my secma 500 ,and particulary as its very unique in cornwall.Its a 2007 model with alloy wheels and and leather seats and a fitted four way speaker radio and the gul wing doors.As its a spur of the moment job i havent really thought of a price so i am open to offers.

Recently installed radioin my qt needed to take my daughter to college.Found it wont start made sure its not the battery,noticed fuel light was on,refueled still wont start.do i need to bleed the carburetta incase there is a air block? if so where is it. Wanted to check there is no hidden kill switch i've inadvertantly switched.I can solve bb and telephone issues but mechanics unfortunately has passed me by!

New ones are about £120 from Allco Power, arlcopower@btconnect.com, 01452 862978. Your battery can cook and your instrument panel & ECU are at risk from over voltage.
