    New Family Member

    So, Picked up our new family member to tide me over until the Skoda (aka Unicorn) arrives and to serve as family project car.




    In pretty good nick. Leather interior which is in great condition. Mechanically looks and feels good.
    A couple of issues now that I have properly checked it out.
    No front skirt/valance ! (Great inspection )



    And the drivers door sensor doesn't work (Nearly locked the keys in when it auto locked !)
    On the positive side all the door locks work, alarm/immobiliser, power windows, Aircon are all good.

    Just need to find a front skirt and sort out the Door sensor (IIRC its not that easy) Then on to the mods !

    Looks tidy...more than likely the drivers door lock faulty if it relocks even when opening the door..

    Yep. Thats the case. Microswitch not picking up door is open. All the other functions work no probs.
    Just been reading through various threads / HowTo's / FAQ's. Seems a common problem, but not as bad as it could be

    Nice pick up!
    the door locking itself should be easy to fix. Just some solder if you are lucky!

    look forward to the progress.

    Thanks Blackers. I think it's a good pickup. Stock as a rock ! Once I get it properly checked out I/We (my sons and I ) can prioritise/attack the "tasteful" mods for handling and a small performance boost.

    Same colour and model as mine.
    Front skirt fell off mine too. Haven't bothered replacing as I found it used to hook up on gutters when parking front on as it sits fairly low.

    Such good taste !

    Figured that was the case. There were no signs of front hits on any of the subframe or bar support.

    On a side note how is the Revo tune ?
