I think the batterys might be shagged dude.... Got some new ones for it yesterday should be alright when i put them in..

I was dying to ask all night!!!

Picked up the interior on saturday, looked really bad in the pics he sent me but tbh it's not as grubby as he made it out to be..
Got some Vanish on there to try it and it'll come up a treat..
