3 months tax off the price would make it better
nice car, dunno how reliable,
did they even come in a 2.0 diesel

Yeah. Slow, slow, slow. Only 100BHP. I'd avoid tbh, but might be fine for slow folk (90% of drivers )

It looks a nice one. Worth a call at any rate to find out

She does look clean indeed!

One thing that does worry me is the speedo has been out, note how the brake wear indicator light has been scrubbed out with a marker....

NCT and tax for a year and both expiring 02/14, it's a PSV, tax is next to worthless, drive that around as a private car and you could find yourself in the height of sh1t, ignorance is no defence.

Good man. I can confirm that you are 100% spot on. Its a taxi. Jesus that new taxi app that was launched a few weeks back is great!

This is just to note that I have checked the following driver in the Driver Check App and the following details were reported. Thanks - shaaane

That's an abs light is it not? Hsx 1.2 didn't have abs so its unlikely that its been written on.

Looks normal to me.

Apparently, Robbie Williams used to own this :pac:

went to look at that car,front bumper is badly scuffed, no pics on donedeal of that, 4 good winter tyres under it, good discs and pads all round, good pull off it, he said he had done the front wheel bearings lately, i spoke to him bout a rattle from the rear of it over bumps, which he basically said i was imagining! he said he bought if off a old fella 8 months ago, hence why the milage was so low. probably would have bought it, but he wouldnt budge on price, and i had asked to see the car when it was cold to check a few things , but it was red hot when i got there. :mad: overall not a bad car though in fairness.

Spot on, I mistook it for the pad warning light, which does become irritating when the cable wears and grounds, sending the light on in the dash. Just checked with 2 speedos there!

It did look strange to me, maybe the way the light is shining is affecting the photo

It's been a while since I've driven one with the wear light on. Or I've just completely forgotten at this stage

Anyone owned one? How are they to drive? Hard on fuel? Reliability? Considering that at a grand, thinking can't really go wrong and slightly more street cred than a supermini
