Good morning !
As some of you may or may not know, I had a black MKII 172 a year or so back but had to sell it but now I am back ! Well, yesterday I agreed to buy a 2002 MKII 172 and I am EXTREMELY happy !
I need a few questions answered if anyone can help :
1) The car was registered at Ron Skinner & Sons in South Wales in March 2002. It is an EU Import, how many years warranty should this car come with ? The guy selling it reckons it had only 12 months (which was the dealer talk at the time when everyone knew that you had at least a 2 year pan-European warranty) but my old MKII 172 car was registered around the same time (July 2002) and had a 3 year warranty.
How much warranty should it have ? Is there anyway I can find out from just the Reg Mark ?
Any help with this would be a great help, it will not affect me buying the car but it would be nice to have another year or so on the warranty.
2) The guy also said that he had disarmed the automatic headlights by turning the ignition on (without starting the car) and then click the light arm stick up a few times or something like that, is this true ? Can you disarm the auto lights on the MKII in this way or something similar ? Is this the same with the automatic windscreen wipers ?
3) The car has an Irish private plate on it, he said he can put the original GK02 plates back on for me or leave the private plates on, what do you think ?
