  1. I hate main dealers with a passion they look down their noses at used car dealers like we are all gypos. I seldom buy anything on there tbh I'd rather pay abit more from BCA.
  2. I prefer to screw them on tbh as ive seen number plates on the forecourt in the past especially in the winter where the double sided tape has given up.

    The 1.5 Ecoboost is the revised engine not heard anything bad about these.
  7. Yes on Peugeot for example you sometimes need to inflate over 38psi then drive it for min of 10 minutes above 30mph to trigger the TPMS system to recognise the tyres are inflated. You sometimes also need a "wand" to wave over the valves to trigger them but this is when you fit new valves and sensors to the wheel. You may need to plug it in to a proper fiat diagnostics to see why it wont reset.

    Agreed, the modern BMW's are garbage timing chains, rear diff bearings, turbos, the 4 cylinder petrol engine craps itself. German cars used to be way made reliable old cars but not now. VAG are nearly as bad with crap petrol engines. The only brands I like are Ford, Peugeot, Citroen, Toyota and Honda dont get much trouble with these.
  10. Do you check for *in trade" first?
  11. Yes sounds like a bad earth, I had a renault which made other lights come on i.e indicator made the abs light up, foglight made service light come on, the pcb board on the cluster was knackered.
  12. Neither of those are your fault, if someone really wants a car they will come another day, as those did not come back they probably wouldn't of bought any way This week has been good for us in a strange up and down month.
  13. Do they sell though with the bad rep they have now?
  14. Doubt it! Used cars are in strong demand it is a bit quieter at the moment but the country is abit upside down with this brexit rubbish, having said that the auctions rung me today to know if I was attending this week so perhaps they are quiet? Rarely go to the block now.
  15. No but it would just add an extra owner just tax is using V62 at post office when you sell it.
  16. Check if its in trade do you know how?
  17. What do you think their reply will be
  18. Just stick to the CVT box like on the jazz
  19. Not even euro 6 diesel which are ulez compliant?
  20. OP didnt state if it moves normally Take the seat out and have a look on the bench
