Hi there
I'm new to the forum .... my old has been returned to me a2 x reg 2001 petrol 1.4 with 97k on the clock and a pretty full service history
My mother in law had it for years and its now come back to me with multiple small issues she cant be bothered to get fixed
I really like these cars though so looking fwd to getting it back in decent shape again!
1st on the list include:
I have a parasitic load on the battery that flattens it in a week
The boot release button on the tailgate doesnt work, nor the button on the key to do the same job (someone has wired the boot release into the petrol cap release to at least have some way of opening the boot!)
The front lights are full of moisture
the drivers side electric window is making a noise but not operating the window. crunching noises but at least the switch /relay is working so hoping it has just unseated something?
Oh and the drivers seat is completely soaking wet - as the window jamed in open and mother in law left it in the tipping rain for weeks like that
drives nice though and has a new clutch so feels like a good car that needs some basics sorted!
All the best
