greeksuprakent Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 I have spoken to the guy, not sure if he is a member, but he did seem genuine and I do like the looks of the car! waiting for pics of the interior and more likely going tomorrow to see it and buy it if it sounds right... and looks as nice in person.

geordie82 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 looks nice doubt he is a member if he paid £600 for glass headlights since since i just got mine from whifbits for less that £400 really nice looking car, well worth a look i would say best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Welcome, nice looking Supra, imo i would ignore the BHP figure & the headlamp pricings as they're probably incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 You bought a car with the warning light on, and no idea of what could be wrong with it You'll need to check error codes - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35920 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Which warning light is on ? What have you bought, a TT or NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeksuprakent Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 it is a N/A model. The warning light comes on the same time with the interior light... looks like a short circuit for sure caused by excessive vibration when the car is driven "hard" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 it is a N/A model. The warning light comes on the same time with the interior light... looks like a short circuit for sure caused by excessive vibration when the car is driven "hard" I wouldn't "for sure" anything just yet. Check the error codes first (method posted above) and report the code back. I doubt very much it's a "short circuit" causing the master alarm to light up. Can you give us more info though. You say it comes on with the interior light? Do you mean when the ignition is off, on, in standby? Does the light go out when you turn to interior light off? Is it on only when your door is open and the interior light on (that's normal but you should also have the door warning light on as well).

greeksuprakent Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 OK there is some confusion here :-S The light comes on only when I am driving ... either around corners when I go kind of fast ... Or when I drive about 100mph and the wheel vibration makes the dash board rattle a bit. Only on those two occasions they light up. and they light only together at once.

neo2810 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Check your brake fluid level and top it up to the absolute max. Most of the time that's the issue if your warning light is flashing on intermittently. Why the interior light is coming on at the same time I dont know... Once topped up, get someone to pump your brake pedal while you wander around looking for brake fluid dribbling out of your calipers, it's easy to spot. Just to make sure you don't have a cracked, leaky caliper (like I did)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeksuprakent Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Yeap it is the door switch of the passenger... nothing to worry about there :-) the door needs adjusting anyway :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
