I'm in London and carless at the moment. I've spoken to the guy and apparently it came in as a part exchange. It needs tax and its on 85K so cambelt is due (are the intervals 40K or 60K?).

Just need someone to give it a quick once over on essential items before I go out there.

Thanks

Says cambelt done at 76k

[SMD]

Yes you're right. Missed that

I have been informed by the seller the car has a blow on the down pipe and he can get it fixed for around £40.

Does this sound about right for this type of repair?

Assuming it's the gasket between the manifold and down pipe, not unreasonable...

There are loads of these cars about, you can afford to be choosey. If you're not getting good vibes, find one a bit nearer.

Also...if you are paying £1200 for a car, you won't get any cast-iron guarantees, it's gonna be an older car.......
