The seller will always cover themselves by saying its for test purposes only, these things normally just plug in instead of the occupancy mat and give the system the resistance it needs to see. I have not looked at the listing but i would guess its telling the car the seat is occupied at all...

The Noco ones look really good and where i would put my money, thought about getting one with an inflator built in too but not sure when i would use it!

I know people have different methods including multiple paint marks etc but for me i would always buy the correct locking tools if available.

Maybe try Nissan, they used to sell them for older models.

Remove it with heat as suggested, clean the adhesive off and forget about it.

Get them good and hot and you may stand a chance of winding them out with a mole grips or chisel them around.

I think I would have a go at sealing that myself with something like JB weld but make sure its fuel resistant. Obviously empty tank and cleaned up as best as possible first.

I would take it to a reputable garage and let them check over your work.

Depends what you call a scuff, I would just live with it personally. A wheel refurb as suggested is normally needed. You can get polishing heads and compound obviously but most of the time the scuffs are too deep to do anything with.

Only thing you can do is get a quote for repair, Its a very popular car so It is worth doing. Failing that advertise it warts and all on ebay specifying all known faults but that its a bit of an unknown and see where the auction goes. If it started, drove and ran you would be in a much better...

The code would be handy to know, some will say abs sensor followed by mechanical problem which means its not seeing the pick up ring so it is possible to assume its the sensor when it isnt. Needs better diagnosing, you can get apps these days which are pretty good but you would need the...

vcheck was £6.00 i think, not sure about car vertical. If you have a look at a you tube channel called high peak autos he regularly has money off deals for car vertical as they sponsor his channel.

I use vcheck, it saved me a few months back when it flagged a write off. I was a bit too trusting of the seller and it was a car that came up via an owners club (Porsche Cayman). The good thing is that it shows photos of the vehicle damage too. Car vertical is another i have used, they are very...

Im forever changing cars but at the moment its: 2024 Merc A200 on Merc finance and main family car. 2012 Audi A3 Tdi Quattro bought outright, my work hack. 2005 Honda S2000 bought outright, my toy.

Sounds silly but you could probably bond a patch on, it does not get that hot. JB Weld or similar would do it.

The motor oil geek channel on you tube is worth a watch if you have time on your hands. Goes a bit ott but some good info there.

Some info on Mannol here. https://ukla-vls.org.uk/?s=Mannol

I bought and mounted a permanent reel on my garage wall and leave the pressure washer hooked up so im able to just switch on and go. Not that cheap but one of the best things i have done. I usually buy my stuff here, they can be difficult to reach on the phone but do get back to you if you leave...

A lot of the you tubers get sent products for free to test etc so take some of it with a big pinch of salt, there are a few worth watching. Martin the obsessive car detailer is pretty fair, what you see on his shelf is pretty much the best of the best. Supercharged llama is very informative too...

It depends how bad the paintwork is, a machine polish may be required but you would probably be better off handing it over to a detailer for this and you could look after it much easier afterwards. If you did just want to sparkle it up Autoglym still make some decent products for most normal...
