After selling my roughly 360/360 mazda mps to save money long term ,i want something 4wd with a little bit of pace.

I have been offered a wrx prodrive for what i feel is a decent enough price considering the mileage.

As you can imagine it has a few things that need doing considering its on 119k and a proper PPP .

1.Gearbox hum in 4th ( owner had to point it out) he has spare box and rear diff , so not a worry.

2. /N/S wing , bonnet and roof ( 4x2" patch dented & rusted) all need respraying.

3 . Central locking doesnt work , owner said he bought a "kit" off ebay so will chuck that in.


Now points 1&2 dont worry me to much at this stage but 3 does. It does lock but requires you to manually lock the passenger door than use the key for the drivers. The key symbol did constantly flash on the dash , what does that mean.

Is this a common fault, are keys easy to reprogram without going to a dealer as that may be first option . Also how robust are these ebay central locking kits.
