Hi !
Im looking at changing my car for a mk1 3 mps. I currently have a citroen c4 hdi (remapped).
So i went on down to a garage where they had an 07 3 mps with 34k miles on the clock, after taking it out i can honestly say i love the car, however the brakes on this particular one seemed pretty pathetic, alot worse than my standard c4 brakes, almost to the point where i wouldnt slow down unless i slammed on. There was very little feel in the pedal to. Im unsure if they needed bleeding or what, but the discs seemed pretty new and the pads had quite a bit of meat left on them.
So im wondering if this is a characteristic of the car itself? which i doubt because it is a performance model. Or if it was just that particular specimen i drove?

Theres obviously an issue with that car, its probably been sitting on forecourt for months!

Nothing really wrong with standard brakes, certainly to the extent u are describing

Hello and sounds as though there is a problem with that MPS, either they sort out the brakes and you test drive it again or what I would do is look for another one

Haha thanks guys, Yeh im in the process of ordering one down from up north, its lower mileage and its a good price. Hopefully the brakes will be better on this one because i was very dissapointed with the one i drove, almost went into the back of someone because the brakes would not slow the car down!

defo problem there then
What colour is the one you are going to be looking at ?

Thinking of a remap with the recirc valve, with possibly induction kit and possibly fmic. Also wondering if its possible to add an aftermarket Usb port to plug mp3 player into, or a bluetooth module to play music through?

Just a few ideas for mods then

There is a xcarlink thingy that plugs in the back of stereo and works with all steering controls that a lot of people use.
I would like to know if it works with the iphone 4??
