Hi all. I don’t know if any of you could help me. I bought an 02 reg mini last week and I’m starting to think I’ve been seriously done over. I’m hoping the issues are easy to fix!
1. The drivers window doesn’t go down/up
2. All of a sudden the handbrake light is on
Not overly concerned about those but now
3. The coolant bottle seems to be emptying daily. I’ve literally just had to top it up with water on the way home and when I got home the fan is pretty much constantly on. I think the only day is hasn’t done it is the day I brought it!

I contacted the seller and asked him for his help and he initially said he would get his mechanic to look at it which I agreed but now I’m being ignored. I really don’t know what to do. I’ve just gone back to work after losing my job through furlough and I can’t afford a mint condition car I just feel like I’ve been screwed over and I just hope it’s a pipe that’s popped off or something!

It came with a years MOT so surely it can’t be a long-standing issue!!

Any help would be gratefully received

Thanks
