I really wish I had believe me, and had there been any near me I'd have bought one instantly. Unfortunately there were no decent ones by me at the time (Best I found was on 176k and had the propshaft removed, and he still wanted 3k for it) and I was in a hurry to get a replacement for my HR-V as its brakes had just failed.

I could of lived with it just needing an O2 sensor, but everything else on top has been truly depressing.
