The salesman sighed and put his head in his arms when I said there was no MOT, but luckily we'd done all the paperwork anyway before he asked

lol

He thinks he's going to get £2k for my old 306!
Good luck with that mate!

On the other hand the new beast is sweet!
Purrs like a kitten (with that slight tractor noise

Drives beautifully and is so light and east to drive it's actually relaxing unlike the 306.
Engine is a good honest clean engine, dry with no sign of oil or water leakage anywhere.
No knocks or bumps from steering and suspension even over speed bumps.
Air-con works very well, almost too well - The wife and I must have looked like penguins sat in there at 19 degrees

I'd have to say the car seems pretty mint

I noticed I slight rubbing sound from the rear drivers wheel when going past walls when I left the garage but that's stopped now so might have been some crud on the disks/ pads where it's been sat that's cleared off now.
Airbag light was on but a little wiggle of the magic orange wire sorted that and I've noticed the immobiliser light seems to stay on when driving if I start it straight away and drive off - It doesn't come on if I turn the ignition on and leave it for a few seconds before starting, so nothing terminal there.
Everything else works perfectly, even the CD changer - So at last I have sounds! Yay!

Not bad stereo for an O.E one either

It doesn't have a trip computer though... Boooo! Just displays temp and radio info.
All in all very happy with the new motor and I think I've got a good-un.
Well I know who got the best deal tbh and it wasn't the guy with the 306
