Yes Maldives blue and cream leather. It's a 2005 2.2 with 70k miles. Alloys are aftermarket I think.
As for the bugs...
Engine management light on. Think it needs s service.
Lacquer peel on rear bumper.
Wipers don't go back to home position and sit about 4 inches above the bottom of the windscreen.
Oh and drivers door hard to open. Handle on outside doesn't work very well.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Welcome.

Nice colour. Nice alloys. That looks like the sea front at Lytham.

As for the wipers, there is a "How to" on this forum. It's in the "Misc" section.

Hi :)

As mentioned previously above there is a how to on the wiper problem and it works a treat, I would get that sorted as a matter of priority because it can get worse and you'll find your wipers start getting very erratic including intermittently stopping altogether requiring you to switch your ignition off and back on to restart them, it happened to me on the motorway in heavy rain and was very dangerous !! The fix is easy enough, just requires cleaning the grease away in the electrical contact area above the motor.
