Was this working when you sold the bike? Presumably he tested it during his thorough examination.

Out of curiosity is this a standard feature or an aftermarket addition? Never heard of it before.

Even if by some miracle it had packed up how on earth does not having use of a feature 90% of bikes don't have make this one unroadworthy?

Were you aware that this autolock feature was not working when you sold it?
Even if you were, unless it makes the bike unroadworthy (which I assume it does not), then you were under no obligation to point it out, since this was a private sale.
The only doubt is whether the phrase 'good road condition' is a mis-description because of this fault (or alleged fault)? I doubt it.

Why the two threads?

Because the OP is asking about their loan in the other thread - obviously there is a link between the two threads, but it makes sense for the other one to be on the Loans board.

Is this something you added? Is it an aftermarket alarm controlled by a keyfob? Can you give a name or a link to the product?

If he signed a receipt saying he was happy with the condition of the vehicle when he collected it, he's got nothing. Sold as seen and all that. He's obviously spent too much time dealing with internet auction sites where this behaviour gets results. Don't worry about it.

As I mentioned on the other thread, don't communicate with the buyer anymore. He signed paperwork to state he was happy with the condition of the bike, and as he is saying he is now unhappy with the condition, my guess is he has damaged it and want's to offload it as quickly as possible. Beware. You have no obligation to agree to buy back the bike

Define 'further'.

Inform him that if he feels he has any claim in that respect you would be happy to defend any litigation that he may wish to initiate and then cease/block all further communication. He's a chancer relying on the fact that you will be intimidated.
