The car is in wonderful condition, the plenums, boot and footwells are bone dry (even with the rain we have been having). Mounts were fine and no leaks from the suspension / broken coils. I could go on, but basically, read through the buying guide here and it all checks out.

Some notes for a future buyer:

1) I spoke to the garage that did the belts, they confirmed they had done the belts and tensioner, but not the waterpump.

2) I took a 10ml coolant sample from about the middle of the down pipe attached to the expansion tank (syringe & tube) and there was a smidge over 1ml of black sludge and copper-coloured particles. I've never seen or used K-seal, but the Internet tells me it also has copper particles. However, the coolant was not low (sitting just above max). I declined because of this, but if anyone can sort that out, this car would be a keeper.

So what exactly does that mean kully, HG problem
