Ive got my alarm problems as i have mentioned on other posts.....

the exteroir is a bit tatty the doors on the drivers side have a nice big deep scratch on it, nothing that touch up wont hide...

I need a new rear light cluster on the passenger side, and a new drivers wing mirror....

when i got the car i took it to a garage and they did a service, they changed the plugs, filters and checked the breaks they charged me £100

found out today that...

the drivers door lock will not work with the key, its knackered....

the passengers door lock takes the key but will not lock the doors...

if i lock the car via the remote central locking the alarm goes off,, (well flashing lights, no horn)......

so i cant lock the car fully...... great.....

found out today that...

the lights behind the centre console do not work, neither do the ones behind the lights control on the right hand side..

and also the clutch feels light,,, the garage said its gonna last about a year tops...

i just swapped my insurance over and bought 6 months road tax
