Tried the usual lock/unlock/lock/unlock a few times while sat inside the car then try to start it? Is the immobiliser light is on when cranking (if it even cranks?)
It doesnt matter, because you have no hard proof (Advert saying fully working, etc) of condition upon purchase.
Its just your word against his, which isnt good enough to get a definate conclusion, if he says you cant have your money back.

You havent got much comeback due to having no reciept, PistonHeads advert isnt good enough. Luckily when mine went wrong I had an eBay listing to go back to.

My car went alot lower too after fitting, so I just wound it up to compensate :)

Pull the trim off and there is a nut holding the reel in at the bottom near the door-shut. Then undo the nut higher up on the sliding adjustable bit. Last one is to remove the bar down on the side that the belt is looped round, which is one nut again then twists to come out.
Another thing that I just remembered when I was driving home then...
You said your Magnex pops/bangs with the 172 engine etc, and did in the past too? As mine has never done it (apart from once or twice on track when its been red hot). I have straight through, no cat no silencers just the...
