Haha I might just do that, I wonder if SEAT technicians are aware of the long and complicated process of removing the plugs on that engine, lets put it this way vinigar and WD40 are requried tools of the trade!

As for being in good nick, it is a £350 13 year old car. It will have its problems, and door locks are infamous of going wrong on Fords, also the door worked when I bought it.

I know spending money on old cars is dead money, but it still a lot cheaper than taking out a hefty loan for something newer.
