Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

They only made the S for MY2005, so check that the 10th digit of the VIN is 5. Look for option code X50 (50) on the VIL under the bonnet or in the maintenance booklet. Also, it should have yellow calipers and ceramic disks.
Is it the one at autobahn in coventry? If so, it's not a Turbo S, just a Turbo from what I can tell in the photos and if it was genuine they'd be asking more for it than they are.
