Good luck with this one Captain Caveman.

Would be interested to see some more pics and what errors it may or may not be showing.

I personally wouldn't bother with refurbishing the 108's. They'll start to corrode again in a few years. I'd be tempted by these, if you haven't already seen them.

The car it's self drive ok with no problems that I could find.
It has had paint on the drivers rear quarter not a bad job but could have been better if they had blown it into the door.
Alloys need a refurb and lower front bumper is scuffed.
Dealer said it wasn't a wear it was a cat d and did seem genuinely suprised of course could all be an act.
Headlights are fogged and water in one of them.
Roof motor was making a loud moaning noise not all the time just passed the half way mark.
Got him down to £1300.

Walk away. There’s plenty of good ones out there. It’s against the law not to disclose a cat c,d or s if it comes from a dealer. Of course he knows!!!

The car wasn’t on the wirral by any chance??
I got mine on the Wirral. 98k and £1800. CatD. Black though......... :)
