This is not 4 hours away I don't think ? but it gives you an idea of what is out there, all will need some TLC

so look everywhere.

MG7 climate control panel which is a £159.99 upgrade and really modernises the interior of these cars.

They do not work on the diesels like the original, with the original you can turn ignition to II do not start the car and the demist test will be carried out.

With the MG7 unit you need to have the engine running, we spent the best part of 2.5 hours at a Nano trying to work out why the slow speed would not work when we tried a demist test, yet it would on a T4 test.

Then realised it had the MG7 control panel, being as the Chinese never made a diesel car we started the car tried demist it worked so its set up for petrol engine cars.

Not a reason to dismiss the car, there are other reasons behind that, listen to the advice above you will not be steered wrong.

A shame the seller has a bad rep, as on face value the car looks really quite smart. Perhaps with the knowledge the car is still worth a closer look?

I don't know for sure, but I've seen this car for sale on the web before..?

I'm just having the rear bushes replaced on my tourer, which is one of the MOT advisories on this car, plus one or two other things, and will not see much change out of £200+. And that was after shopping around!
