 | So what job do you do if he tipped you with it?
 
 Strange that he wanted rid so easily. I reckon he's done a dirty crime in it and offloaded it to you in case he gets caught. Are there sweets in the glove box? I reckon he's lured little girls into his car with sweets and then fiddled with them whilst threatening them with a knife so they don't tell their parents.
 
 
 Just a hunch!

 A mate of mine had one.....called it the pimp bus.
 
 I had many a chuckle writing 'badgerline' on the side of it
  
 He changed jobs and then had a 30 mile each way commute. He then flogged it and bought a Smart roadster....the roadster was cheaper to run even after taking into consideration the loan, insurance etc
 
 As you can imagine the MPG on the bus was a tad shite

 | Wooo the fun continues today...
 
 'tried' stripping down the drivers door, figured out why it wont lock/unlock... the key is the wrong one for the barrel in the door, and also it wasnt connected to the door lock itself so was just for show
  Tried getting the lock out, removed the barrel, but one of the torx bolts holding the door lock in has rounded (great) but it was already like that...  Also missing a few bolts which secure the window runners in place, and also clips which hold the doorcard in place (were held in by self tappers  ) 
 STILL cant open the damned bonnet either, which sucks
  
 but 1 good thing, found wiring for a CD changer in the boot, so the hunt will soon start to get one of those once the car is fixed up for the MOT!
 
 Oh yeah, the speaker on the drivers door wont work, checked the wiring but duno if it is that or the speaker, will test it on a 1.5v battery see if it 'pops' but I could just uprate them anyways...  soundsystem as standard is pretty damned good!

 | it wont take long to break
  
 engine rattle & poor idling, kinda has no oil (finally got the bonnet open) is 'just' registering on the end of the dipstick, so needs oil & filter...  not a biggy!
 
 Checked the auto-box oil level, is full, but is a browny color which means that needs changing too, also the fault with it not selecting gears is down to the shifter cable being old, easy fix
 
 coolant needs flushing through, its just filled with water
  but there is no oil contamination or leakage!  oil filler cap is also free of contamination, so headgasket is sound! 
 Engine is an RS2000 2ltr 16v block, but without the turbo & only 125bhp
