It's one thing being open for business in the current climate and it's another being able to source spare parts if a car needs parts replacing as a result of a mot failure. A lot of spare part places are shut and its becoming increasingly difficult to source parts.Furthermore places like F1(that have a bit of a iffy reputation at the best of times) are only staying open to exploit the current situation
I am sure you can have the stereo on without the aerial coming out,had it on my Mazda zedos 6,I think you press the rf or ta button(or some button) and the aerial stays down
I have used momentum 99 in my 250 f sport since I bought(have occasionally used v power too) with no issues and will continue to do so,did same when I owned my IS 200 sport 👍👍
+2 definitely a flat battery James,further if the battery is still the original it means is about 10 years old and well past its sell by date,probably best replacing it
Silly question but have you tried changing the battery in the remote fob,had my alarm randomly going off once when I owned a IS200 sport and it turned out to be a low fob battery
Just bear in mind that you are buying a car that is 20 or so years old and as such you more than likely will have certain issues to deal with at some point or the other
Hi Andy and welcome to the LOC,hoping you find the forum educational and informative,hopefully it won't be too bad or expensive to fix,having said that you probably would have been better off going for a IS250 instead
