Hi all,

You have just bought it?

Hope it was seriously cheap, as the repairs won't be

Yes, indeed it was a bit of a decent price. I didn't want to miss it. I will use this car for years, so actually repairing it or not is not a big issue for now for me. I can use it as it is now. But if the repairing price is somewhat sensible, then I will have it repaired.

About £300 to £400 all in at a one man and his dog body shop, probably double that plus taxes for somewhere that has managers receptionists coffee carpets plus company and courtesy cars to pay for.
