No big trip or poo count as car was 10 mins walk away.
Collected the BMW I mentioned last week. Took it for a test drive on Tuesday-very nice drive. Heater fans fixed themselves (bloke put new hedgehog in-made no difference-fans came on halfway through test drive)-I think it was a dodgy relay-anyway bits are cheap for these.
It was put through an MOT on Thursday and passed with three advisories-rear tyres-which I already knew (seller told me about these) and a slight oil leak from the sump.
Paid a grand-not bad in these times-94000 miles, a couple of owners, stamped service booklet up to last year (for what its worth) and a body that is severely lacking in rust (apart from a small pleb on the rear arch).
Plus point again is steel wheels (wifes car)-spare is MIA but one from my spare Senator wheels fits.
So happy so far- will tax on Weds , change engine oil,gearbox oil and spark plugs.
Focus being picked up next week by car take back-£241-had it 9 years-paid £2000 so not bad apart shitting the PAS pipes 3 times.

Sounds decent enough for the price, that self fixing feature is handy too!

She came home one day and I noticed the sill on her Focus was caved in-i sked what she had done-I must have pulled over too far to let a car pass and hit a rock.mercrocker wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 10:23 am "Steel wheels (wife's car)"
