Cheers lads no offence taken in any way and i appreciate the feedback. No underlying issue that im aware of and any interested party is welcome to do any inspection on the car.. I've simply changed my mind. My biggest bug bear with the car is the bodywork. Not its not bad in any way. No rust etc it just need a redo in my opinion as it really is showing its age and the respray work carried out really isnt up to my standard.
If you were to jump in and drive it today i would fix the following.
1) new rear light seal
2)boost gauge not working.
3) slight blow in the exhaust. I suspect a new gasket is needed somewhere.
All small issues.
I'll get some new pics up later.
I was in with skoda today and have a nice deal lined up on a VRS to replace my Octavia so this needs to go.
