New Potential Owner Advice

[ChrisB1972]

I am looking to purchase my first X-Type.

It will be an AWD model and probably from the budget end. I am recently separated and have limited funds, so it will have to be sub £1500.

 

I have seen this car on eBay, it has a light on, on the dash but I can't find what it means. Here is a link to the Pic 

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Is it simply telling you that the driver's door is open. Seems a strange light to me, with no image on it to tell you what it's showing

Located above the message center are two lamps, red for warning and amber for caution. When a message is displayed, the appropriate
lamp will illuminate to attract the driver's attention and to signify the importance of the message.  this is all i can find on this issue. put if this light does stay on it needs to be addressed as there ls a problem in the electrical system.

[ChrisB1972]

Thanks David. That's about all I could find too.

I think I'll pass on this one and find another

Although in my current price range they all seem to have some sort of electrical problem or another

Hi Steve, no I didn't. It's a car listed on eBay.

I thought there was a separate light, top left, for a door open?

In the end I decided to have a flutter on it bit I was outbid

this may help, I don't know anything about any of them of course, however if anything takes your fancy, and you have questions, ask away! plenty of very knowledgeable people in the JOC

Thanks Steve I am constantly on Auto Trader and eBay looking for potential purchases.

By the way I would remove those links as, for some reason, the Auto Trader site seems to remember your full postcode :o

Cheers Chris

Strange... but link removed

thanks again

Steve

No problem Steve

I just noticed the cars were nowhere near me and then that there was a postcode in there, which I assume was yours?

I'm going to have a look at a 2.5 SE Auto tomorrow morning. It's not too far from me and seems to have everything bar a heated front screen.

Looks a good car, I'll put up pics, if I buy it
