I don't think its pink. I believe its the shade of the salmon on the wall behind the car. That is creating this optical illusion.

Not at all. But one thing I would change is the OY on the number plate to "YO". Now that would be cool.

Well whatever colour it is, I absolutely love the thing and couldn't be happier with it tbh
I'm nothing near the level of enthusiast as most guys here, either in motoring knowledge or experience, but I love driving, it makes me happy like not much else can, and I'm gonna enjoy my pink go kart!

Jaysus it's hard to get under your skin haha

Fair play to you, driving is all about enjoyment. Some people just get enjoyment from knowledge and experience but if you're getting enjoyment out of driving, you're doing it right and the rest might follow in due course.

Ya the seats are really comfortable actually, and they look better in person than photos. But they are pretty narrow also, I fit snug into them but i dont think they would be too forgiving to the wider person!!

I have a guy taking it for a test drive tomorrow possibly, thankfully he's genuine and sound compared to the idiots I had to put up with at the start!

Apart from that, Not much by way of genuine phone calls. It currently has 2127 views on DoneDeal and 296 views on Carzone but that doesn't show anything really.

Still at 10500 and it's been for sale since July 2nd.

this actually happened a week or two ago but it really only got under my skin yesterday.

on of my parents while i was parked at home folded in one of my mirrors (which are power folding) and now it doesn't ****ing work :mad: it was ok for a while but now its given up the ghost and its clearly related.

i mean when they felt the large resistance to the mirror not wanting to fold, why must they have forced it when good courtesy goes bad.

Normally folding them in wont break them, they're designed to fold either way.

Is the motor making any noise when it's trying to fold?

i triede pushing in the passenger side (good) one just to get a feel for it and it really didn't want to move, but it'd make sense if you were right.

it just blips so to speak, motor turns for around a second, the mirror does a little twitch and thats it. fortunately i dont think finding a second hand glanza mirror will be difficult :pac:

franksm

Is there a reset/learning mode for them, the way there is for auto-up/down windows ?

If the car's battery had been replaced, there's a procedure for having the various functions relearned. On my car, you have to show the mirrors manually how much to dip when reverse-gear is selected. Once set, it'll do so automatically thereafter.

Andy, it may just be a case of it having to be realigned in cogs or something like that. It's not working now anyway so if I were you I'd take it off, take it apart and have a look. Chances are that when you put it back together, it'll work fine again.

Have you looked into this on the owner's club?

Jimbob 83

Like MM said it's just been fprced off the cogs, nothing is broken
