Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Heater control valve [fixed], radiator (will fix next year), heater contral panal (spare needs to go on), over revs, suspension bushes. Most of these faults existed when I bought it and will be sorted out gradualy within the year. The engineblock itself seems ot be in very good condition and a car like this for £850 I can't complain.

Electric driver seat!
