Saying hello from berkshire

Post by Moose »

Hi looking at buying a cc for a last minute convertible whilst theres some sun around ( Q massive rainstorms :hmm: )
I found and checked out a green 52 plate auto locally and other than the fact there is an ABS light on the obc display and dash i'm going to buy it

Looking at info on here before i purchase it and hello to all members

Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your purchase. Read the owners handbook thoroughly. Many new owners suffer problems which are self-inflicted.

Bought it and it flew through the MOT other than a new front tyre
Cheap convertible see how long that lasts, needs some dimgs pulled out and a deep clean!

Sorry my bad
It was the airbag light which by the time i went to the garage it was off and hadn't returned
Will keep an eye out though - more pressing problems with a potential front collapsing suspension spring! See other post!!

Airbag light, and other spurious warnings, can occur when the car battery is getting towards the end of its life. The colder autumn weather will soon be sorting out the older, weaker batteries with all the associated issues. You'll see...
