Hi all,
My names Ed, im from Cardiff and I have recently purchased an 03 MCS in Gunmetal Grey, it has only had 1 lady owner from new and has 32k miles on the clock (genuine mileage, papers to prove!).
Bodywork is not too shabby and only needs slight work to make it mint, has the usual carpark scuffs on the edges of the door, front and rear bumper, so i have plans to put it in the bodyshop once i get back from holiday to fix these, im fussy!
Have had it for 1 week so far and aboslutely love it, but its currently back in the garage i bought it from as there are a few minor issues that need to be resolved which are as follows:
Drivers side door lock does not unlock with the remote and has to be unlocked with the key, although it does lock with the remote, guess it needs new actuator or unit which is being arranged by the garage.
Car went into limp mode twice when giving it some beans, majority of the time its fine though and only happened twice, guess its a minor sensor issue causing the problem and is currently being diagnosed and sorted by the garage.
When it rained a few days ago there was a leak coming through the interior mirror itself, garage are arranging for windscreen specialist to replace the seals and refit the windscreen with new bonding as thats the most likely issue.
Glove box would not close, common fault with the handles having too much play in them after a while so this is being replaced also.
Other than these annoying problems the car is excellent and I cannot wait to get it back as I have plans for it! :)
