Apart from that it's perfect 1 problem though starting is a issue the guy said it was glow plugs but it ent it fires up and cuts out straight away but if I give it a little throttle it will stay running with a bit of a grumble ?

At that price you've not got much to complain about :shock:

Possibly air yes - Try pumping the squeezy thing before you start it.

Ye I have and it stayed running longer than it would with out doing it but still cut out I was wondering if 2 glow plugs could be gone as well as air ???? I got a spare prime build on me 1.9 I'm stripping. When it's running it's like a brand new car no knocks bangs anything it's been well looked after by a family for 12 years so I can't moan

I would have a look at the brake caliper shown in your picture....it has the look of a classic overheated brake, possibly caused by a sticking caliper.....the disc is pinkish in colour.

Of course it could be from a previous situation, but I would check it.

Looks nice, I love the colour. Total bargain for less than £300 as well :) That interior is very nice indeed, I want one... :)
