G'day, after having lived without a car for some time i hastily bought the first available one i saw that i liked (i know, recipe for disaster). It's a WK stato supercharged V6, one of my many dream cars, also the first car i bought from a non dealership. Anyway, it has a few problems:
1. Key won't turn back from the engine start position
2. Doors won't lock from remote however the car thinks it's locked and alarm will sound if door is opened
3. Has a miss, probably coil packs i guess
4. Possibly underpowered
5. Filled coolant and lost a significant amount from underneath the fill part (possible overfill)
6. Passenger seatbelt will not retract
Now without the "Lemon" replies and "should have test drove it/Had someone look it over" responses (i know, okay? I was desperate) Are any of these common issues with the WK? Any simple checks or fixes? I have limited time, money, knowledge and tools on hand though im mildly capable of learning and grabbing a couple of tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated, gotta get this thing roadied, registered and capable of carrying me to work and my kids to the park. Thanks
