Hi everyone I’m thinking about buying an MOT fail petrol 1.6 C4 SX. I went to look at it at the garage last night where it is a trade in to clear. The 3 page(!) MOT failure sheet includes the following: Rear handbrake not working (its mechanical, the hand brake was tight so the cables look fine, which means the calipers are probably seized) o/s track rod end worn n/s steering rack boot torn I’m not too worried about the fails above as they all seem quite straight forward however I noticed that there was a lot of bulbs marked down as not working, more than six I think. Is there some sort of nasty CANbus magic box that controls the lights that could have failed or was the previous owner just fond of carrots? Also there was only one key with the car, it was an aftermarket one with no remote function so you had to unlock it via the passenger door. How much would it be to have a new remote key cut and coded to the car? The car has done just under 100,000 miles, I also noticed the clutch was biting a bit high but as the car is for sale for £600 I’m still quite tempted, on a plus note the interior and bodywork are both in good condition.
