Right I have taken everything on Board and looked at a few cars over the bank holiday and decided to wait. I am very grateful for all your help and comments,it has made me see sense that for one I cannot afford to repair a serious problem eg engine, gearbox, diff or vanos units and I would not...

Ha ha just seen reg on car I am going to look at (P33 DGY) do you think it's trying to tell me something.
