well after a most enjoyable trip Hm to Denton from Peterborough and upon arriving to collect this car Matt tell's me battery has lost charge with the cold snap so he spends £89.00 at Kwik fit for a new one and gives me the old one :-) it came with great paper work and on it's drive I'm well pleased also it looked as good in the flesh as it did on the advert and at £550 it was a bargain with it's new battery .....you need to be quicker getting old !!!

so lets keep the brand going in the club, and once again another great car from here has come my way.

Many main agents replaced exhausts to no avail when these were new.

To confirm:
Try pushing the roof lining upwards just behind your head when vibration occurs.

The cure is to remove the roof lining and pack the spars with silicone sealer.
Half a days work.

Let me know your findings

Damn.......... I was hoping it turned out to be a pup

I was quicker than Getting Old, but not as quick as your good self - but all's well that ends well as I'll be picking up an MG ZT-T + CDTI with a 160 remap next weekend.

May you do many happy miles in it.

Scuppered because he mentioned damage to the N/S and i asked for pictures but
was expecting to find a fair bit of damage.

When someone mentioned the pictures had been updated i saw it was fairly sound.

But by then it was too late... Your still not playing my my ball

I assure you the noise will be coming from exactly where the sunroof would have been !!!
Press the headlining upwards while resonance is present and you'll notice an instant cure
after buying this car from here

re your advise Jules you were right one of the headlining stays had come away just behind the front seats shame it wasn't a back one as I had to drop the lot down still with the other jobs done she's right now

And then posting up on the original for sale thread to rub in your profit

No issue with what you've done, but rubbing it in to the the guy that missed out and then rubbing your profit in to the original seller is a bit OTT if you ask me
