Hi, I have just got an 2.0 diesel Connoisseur mines an 53 reg, maroon in colour, So far it seems to be a very sound car, theres the normal scratches etc, but no bad dents, or corrosion, there are two issues with it though,
1 Handbrake, is very poor, i've already ordered an Mini front cable with the compensator, so that should fix that, i will probably look at pads also as their advised as being low,
RADIO Is dead, This car has the built in highline gps unit and an Arial amplifier in the boot, the amplifier is unplugged, but there are two connectors off the loom for it, one blue, one grey, would this be why its dead? does the feed for the radio come via the amplifier? or should i look at the radio fuse on the unit, Everything else seems to work fine, also i need a space saver, the previous owner has fitted the larger MGZR Wheels, so i don't expect the standard spare will be any use,
