Thank you very much to all you guys who have been kind enough to reply i am excited to finally own one but also slightly apprehensive about what to expect. The chap who i bought the car from gave me a folder with all the service history and receipts for the car some of them going right back to when it was almost new back in 2006 and i noticed there are some from Rock Auto in the States for various bits and pieces. Obviously i hope i won't be needing very many parts for it all being well
