Sell your bits!
NOTE: This is for members and their private sales/wants.
There are rules that suppliers have to follow (and many of you do follow the rules). However there have been a number of instances recently where "suppliers" have broken the rules.
Suppliers/Dealers or anyone selling with a commercial view in mind CANNOT post here unless responding to a specific request of a member in a "wanted" post.
Suppliers include people "breaking for spares" on a regular basis, when purchasing spares members should ask a supplier what they contribute to the running of the forum

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

For £4000 I'd want something a lot better than that. My 2000 looked a lot better than that- I should have kept it really, but I'd never have got a GEN 4, and it was starting to show signs of body corrosion.
I don't like the oil staining on the bell housing, could be trouble with that gearbox.
It is mostly what they call "surface rust" which means it might wirebrush off and leave some metal behind, but it shows neglect over a few salty Winters.
The places to check for rust are the flange under the headlights inside the bonnet, the boot floor where the tools live, and under the rear seats.
They go beneath the rear bumper at the back too, but it is hard to see.
As mentioned before, I'd be looking at what was done to get it through that previous MOT.
