There are a lot out there to pick from, but a lot of old dogs to avoid unless you have endless time, money and welding equipment.

Pink stuff would probably just be dried out OAT coolant.

ah yes, that makes sense as it is around a hose that comes from the top of the engine into the top of the radiater ... maybe the previous owner didn't tighten up the hose enough after a water change

Dunno mate, I'd have to see it in person. It's in the right ballpark if there are no issues.

It looks like my old one too! I used to have a pre-face lift one in the same colour with the same wheels. The neighbours didn't notice when I changed it last year!

yes, it was ok, i think it might be a bit over priced though.

should 7 seaters have headphone sockets and remote controls for the radio in the boot? this didn't have any, but a 5 seater that i looked at yesterday had them ? :s

I suppose it depends what was what was spec'd on the options list, I looked at a pursuit earlier in the year that had all that stuff on it with full leather as well but could of been added later

Thanks, that would be great if I could do that when I finally get 1. Hopefully any fault codes thrown up will get fixed under the warranty.
