Spotted on John Pye, 206cc after "DEADLOCKED ACCESS"

It is nothing to do with me, but I saw this and though I had to tell someone. A 2l 206cc with 42k on the clock and a smashed drivers window, no keys or MOT. Currently going for £60, auction ending ~Tuesday 25th August 2020 - 10:00am in Mitcham, south London. https://johnpyevehicles.co.uk/assets/imag...

Re: Just bought one, few questions

My car is a 2001 model non-multiplexed, so the setting for the stereo is in the setup panel of the MFD on top of the dash. I set it to OFF for both the stereo and CD changer and no problems. But the later models 2003+ have the stereo setup and link done through BSI... It does look quite involved to...

Re: Just bought one, few questions

- Does the car have the factory stereo or an aftermarket install? Changing the factory stereo is a bit tricky and requires disabling with PP2000. I am not sure. It is a clarion branded stereo, looks pretty standard to me. If it doesn't have a display of its own and uses the MFD on the top of the da...

Re: Just bought one, few questions

- Now the roof is relatively sturdy and it should be OK as long as you take good care of it. As all mechanical things, failure is not an IF but a WHEN.

Just bought one, few questions

Hi All, I went the auction 'cos my old car is a bit broken, and came back with one of these (54 plate, 2l engine). I have to admit, I have previously been a bit scathing of convertibles never having been in one, but now I have bought one I really love it. The experience of nipping around the country...
