Shouldn’t it be a link to a straight jacket

I take it the guides are nice and clean and siliconed up?

Wiring between body and door been checked for broken/chaffed wires?

Something must be telling them to go down? When you press the unlock button on the key I wonder if it’s sticking down and doing the global opening thingy? Have you got a remote key tester?

It won’t have been clocked, we changed a dead airbag module on a fiat 500 then the odometer started flashing, proxy alignment sorted it. Oops wrong thread Have you had a global scan of the whole car to check for related codes?

Yes it needs it’s proxy alignment done, it’s a simple enough job on proper fiat diagnostics.

The low oil pressure warning on start up is due to a seal between the sump and the oil pump, bit fiddly to do... budget around £150 to do. The perished seal causes the oil to fall back out of the pump and into the sump.

To be fair, the dipsticks are extremely common to snap on this engine. As long as the garage carried out their work carefully, then they are not to blame. I said it already, its whereabouts it breaks that's the key, you can sometimes remove the filler tube and remove the broken piece. However the power problem will still need to be sorted. The phaser solenoids are very common too on these.

Its a common disease that mot testers contract, Its called Tinypenisitus all mot testers have it It has replaced the lesser know strain of Massivechiponshoulderitus

Hi Nicoletta If it was me, id be collecting the car and have a look at it. If the dipstick has snapped - quite often this can be rectified easily by removing the filler tube and taking out the snapped part, alternatively if the snapped part has fallen inside the sump, don't worry about it just now and put a new dipstick in (the sump may need to come off to do the timing chain). As everyone is already stating, its all about your PDI, MOT? PDI Sheet? etc... roll your sleeves up and fight back is the best advice really. PS. Dont sell cheaper minis.

Dave.... you were nearly correct!

They old guy is probably in a long lease and wants to to escape it.

My thoughts exactly TV. Slow and steady wins the race.... Build up your own capital first before putting the stocking loan noose around your neck. Sorry nick but buying more expensive cars takes more experience too. OP do what feels right, read the small print on everything twice and take advice if your not sure. Accumulation is the game. We have another trader on a high horse, the best deals I do are the ones where customers trade down and I have to give them money back.

Run a background check on the guy, not everyone plays fair Lucas.

I'm sure he did his own due dilligence and looked at your evidence at point of sale too? Ask him to forward on copies of all of the service history and bills for the work he has had carried out in order to investigate the matter further.....

You will need to see if its a Condition Based Service reminder? We occasionally get them for EGR or DPF faults too (Without EML on dash too)

Not always, my post above has just mentioned a Mercedes with no emissions fault but an EML light on with a manufacturers specific DTC in the engine Ecu for a lost signal from the ABS/ESP module. Several VAG cars put an engine management light on for ABS faults too.

I'm guessing Karen gave Paul the knockback! Paul immediately took the huff and said "well your not getting your new car then!" ?

BCA have a whopping 34,000 cars in their system! Ive never seen that figure so high.

Non exhaustive list:- People ringing up on behalf of somebody else in the room... and relaying the messages! (The funniest one i ever heard was a wife saying "Here you fat bastard.... you f@*king questions!" and handing the phone over! ) EGR Valves Chucky Duffers Impatient Customers (especially the ones that barge in when your dealing with somebody and think its ok to talk over the top of you) Cars that break for no obvious reason and the worst times.... 4pm on a Saturday etc.... Liars Salesmen leaving their trademark in the toilet Staff that ask millions of questions without thinking for themselves

We had a 2014 Mercedes ML250 CDI come back before christmas, with every light on the dash... every light! Airbag, EML ABS Runflat the whole lot.... for one broken wire to the NSR abs sensor!

You really need to be reading the dsc unit on a reliable diagnostic tool. There will defo be a code in it, if its the internal pressure sensor its a post away and repair job. (Or BMW sell a modified block unit - not sure how much they are nowadays).

Whats the last 7 of the vin and ill see if it has a pressure sensor on the brake servo? Ignore the NOX sensor codes for now.

There is a brake pressure sensor on the brake servo.... they are quite common for failing and causing the start stop to not work.

To be honest the codes wouldn't clear even without the engine running. It had two readings for soot saturation and one of them wouldn't zero. I presumed it was maybe a safety feature to stop somebody trying to regen a completely blocked DPF.
