Mate.. you ARE the oracle when it comes to schools North of the river.. dont try to deny it.. You've done yer research and you've got firsthand.. .. That makes your opinion more valid than Google's if you know what i mean..

ALWAYS wait for the ignition coil light to go out when you half turn the ignition before "starting" or you'll burn the coil out

and FGS DONT put petrol in it EVER... like my father often does with my mother....

and if anything goes wrong.. phone the seller... He'd feel obliged to help put it right...
Just wanted to check, the seller seemed a bit dodgy

Just about to insure it, any tips on insurers? x

Allianz were good for us, we used HBF when we first arrived because our health cover was with them and they SAID we'd get a better deal having all our insurances in one firm... they were wrong..... shop around. it'll depend on your individual circumstances, area you live in, whether the vehicle is garaged, what you use it for (a lot of companies wont cover off roading)... ... I'd had 25 years years accident free/ infringement free driving...

And DONT say I didn't warn you about buying used cars
