  I have just tried to sell my1996 FTO and the purchaser told me there was a problem with the tiptronic Gearbox. He said the electronic regulators on the gearbox had been damaged because the battery had been charged on the vehicle and not been taken off prior to charging. He wanted a £1000 reduction on the price to compensate! Is this true and fair. Any help appreciated.

• The youth of today 30 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  In a survey carried out by the AA, 20% of young male drivers were unable to identify the dipstick on the engine of their own cars. 2.5% of those questioned pointed out the battery as being the dipstick, and a further number thought the radiator cap was where you put the oil. There are going to be some real lemons on second-hand forecourts in the not to distant future. -- Robin Reliant, formerly known as Tom Shaw
