Right the 2.0 8v I'm ment to be pickin up this weekend...

I went for a test drive sat and everything sempt fine... He told me it wasn't holding charge thow??

Just had this txt saying of the guy saying

Hi there iv had a problem with the nova no earth to the coil and it broke down I havnt had a chance to look at it properly think the ecu has been spiked looking at the state of the wiring new ecu is about 30 quid from eBay I don't mind sending the deposite back to you I think I can fix it but I havnt got time at the moment...

What should I do? Will this be any easy fix as il need it for a daily untill the let comes out of the corsa!

Shall I just offer him less money?

Please advise
Dan

Its your choice. Loom/ECU will be easy enough to change (providing you know what your doing).

The not charging may will be the same fault, if not it will need a new battery or alternator.
