Hi I have just purchased a 2002 C4s tipo[
], I had carried out all the checks on it including a 111 point check which listed the following problems: 1. number plate lights not working 2. wheel bolts corroded 3. n/s mirror works backwards 4. mileage reset button missing 5. distortion through dash speakers 6. wipers smearing 7. air con not working 8. incorrect drivers floor mat fitted 9. tyres wearing unevenly 10. rear main and tipo sump gasket misting. I asked the opc about the misting of the gaskets and they said that it is nothing to worry about presently just that I may want to monitor them. The rest of the faults I believed were minor and i could sort out myself except for the air con, which the owner did re-gas for me and now it works fine. Also had the tracking done all round and now that's fine according to the print out. The n/s mirror I believe someone may have put the wiring plugs in the wrong way as I did see a receipt for a new wiring harness being placed on it previously. I have now gone back to the opc to ask about a warranty were they have now said I must get the problems with the misting gaskets repaired before I can have the warranty![] If I had told them from the start that I was intending to buy a warranty they would have told me to get the work carried out first hence I could have asked to owner to help pay towards the costs. As I only told them I was just thinking of buying the car they said it was nothing major to worry about presently so I bought the car! They also said that the 111 check is only valid for 48hrs so if I get the faults sorted after 48hrs I will have to pay again for another check! Does anyone know what they are talking about when they say "rear main and tipo sump gasket misting". Is this due to the RMS or just some gaskets? Any ideas of costs involved from indy's? Should I just have the bottom of the car steamed cleaned and get another 111 check done?[]
