Gunna need to dry my carpet too but really don't want to pull it out as it's a bit above my skill level 😖

I have tried to be nice and chat with the seller his response was a sound:
"sod off sold as seen" hahaha

As for the leaks i have now had a try at the boot one using the dreaded silicone around the boot vent which for some reason is loose and flapping around, but having traced what looked like a small stream back to it the whole thing is now sealed to death lol.

Im going to have a try at the heater intake seal thank to the guide provided by the good Mr pete16 (thank you very much) as soon as the rain stops

I did try and pm the chap who is offering cheap bit and i await his reply

Before i forget to ask has anyone else suffered with major rust on the fuel inlet pipe behind the filler flap as mine is awful and has to be changed, problem being i cant for the life of me find the part or a price guide on its repair.

P.S free tea, coffee or happy meals for anyone who can help fix the old girl

If he is a trader, he has to give six months legal rights, no matter what he says.

Problem i have is he says he is a private seller who just goes through car (he has sold 7 in the last week) so its proving he's a trader that is the trick but i appreciate the help buddy

Depends how far you want to go with it, Trading Standards might be interested, as he is selling far more cars than a "Private seller".

Or just bite the bullet and fix it.

Or HMRC sure they would be interested!

It used to be the case that you were allowed to sell something like 6 cars per year as a private seller, any more than 6 was considered to be dealing, I don't know if that still applies.
