Hi all, a family member is on the forum and recomended I post my problem up here. Here's the scenario: Bought the car in late December, my attention was drawn to new brake discs and pads but a missing aerial and dodgy central locking. Fair's fair £1500 later and it was mine.

Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - Bought a new shed - £350 22 Oct 2008 (Forum)
I am finding it hard to get used to the steering as at low speeds I had nearly miss judge a tight turn, not sure if its just because it I am not used to PAS, or a problem witht the steering but its only done a few miles since the past MOT. In the past MOT it had *New Sills *Four new brake pads/front discs *New brake pipes (these look brand new) *Four new tryes All the above was done as an advisories, but the seller told me a month later the car became surpless and they spent a while decidign what to do, they decided to sell it, so they put 6 months tax on it.
