Re-feed pipe that connects back into the intake elbow was disconnected, with a filter on the end - resulting in fuel fumes being released into the cabin.

Surge pipe from fuel tank disconnected - resulting in a massive fuel leak whilst taking any corner.

Stainless steel exhaust system leaking in 3 separate places, join, middle box and back-box.

Oil leak from engine - unspecified as to where it's coming from yet, hope it's not the head-gasket.

Gearbox mount underneath hanging by about 1 1/2 theads, resulting in loss of reverse, and having to hold it in 1st, 3rd and 5th.

Nearside headlight held in by 1 screw, wobbles like hell.

1. common mod to stop dirty fumes going bak into engne

2.maybe pulled off when puttin a new tank or replacing a pipe or su#something

3.low cars scrape the floor, what do u expect?

4.20 years old engines leak oil

5.these come loose loads had to do my mums about 3 times. takes 5 mins.

6. oh dear a 2 sec job with a self tapper.

basically the lamest list of faults i have ever seen.

i could see a point if the brakes didnt work or something remotely bad, end of the day u went and inspected it and still bought it, the person at fault is you.

3. It isn't low, not enough to scrape the floor. Exhaust off the wrong car.

5 & 6. So why didn't he do these 5 minute jobs eh? Surely you'd get your car in some kind of order to sell.

Like Stu said, fuel tank is also held in by the strap and strap only. Someone's snapped a bolt in the past and not bothered to fix it.

Lame excuse? Fuel pissing down the side of the car? Piss off. Plain dangerous.

Like I said, I'm keeping the car anyway, and I'm to blame also for now checking it out fully, but as said earlier, when did you last check behind the filler neck cowl when you were looking at a car?

I'm guna get my mum to buy my next car

good lad

give me a shout if you want a hand fixing something else with the burgandy loon

2nd it isnt low enough to scrape the sump,

fuel leak lame excuse!?!?! wtf, what if someone had thrown a fag out and ignited it?? f***in serious problem then, eh?

or is it still a s**t excuse???

at the end of the day mate you didnt eaven road test the car before buying it! thats one of the first things you should do, and you seemed more than happy with it whilst i was there, and i also know that this car did pass an mot in its sold state, the person you bought it off was no mechanic maybe he didnt notice these minor faults, maybe you should get onto vosa and complain eh? and as for you neil no life dubgt keep your fucking nose out tbh

that cars a fucking shed rat my fucking arse hole basically another term for "fucked", shame you ended up with it and there are some really dishonest people about.

typical comment for a small kid

if the fuel vapers coming into the cabin were so bad why didn't you spot them on the test drive? and surely you would of noticed you had to hold the gear stick to keep it in 1,3,5? and if the exhaust was blowing as bad as you say then way didn't you notice that?

if you had bought a car that turned out to be a cut and shut or some thing that you might not notice straight away then fair enough, but mostly these faults you mention are blatant. also your buying a what 20 year old car? things are gonna break over 20 years of use and they won't always be repaired properly, so when going to look at cars like this you need to bare that in mind when inspecting them.

i knew the seller of this an tbh he is a honest helpfull guy and i know for a fact it didnt have a mail order mot like nobody_gt suggests an the list of problems are small jobs that most cars of that age suffer from its a simple fact you modify a car you get problems

live and learn mate, iv learnt not to buy engine conversions as there to much hassel if not documented etc

and as for you neil no life dubgt keep your fucking nose out tbh

I'm a bad man

Like I said, the guy I bought it off seemed like a nice guy. I'm as much to blame as him, as I've stated many times.

Like Xcore says, live and learn.
