  2. I dunno I’m not saying it caused this but white spirit is not ideal to use for car paint .
  3. I think white spirit can leave a residue so maybe not ideal. you can get proper panel prep that’s not expensive but I just use something that can flash quickly like brake cleaner on rag I wouldn’t use wet wipes as the can also sometime have soap or oil in them . If a car has had a mix of paints in the past body shops use an isolator layer to stop it reacting . I’d also use plastic primer on the bumpers most of the flakey bumpers you see is because they got painted in regular primer, which cracks when the bumpers move .
  4. It could be the same with any car though. Any car on gumtree with a full MOT could have a toffee one you'd never know. You can check the MOT station if you have the v5, if the new MOT was done it Dudley and the car's in Edinburgh then it's probably not a good sign.
  5. Just don't buy it until the mot is done. It is annoying though why do they not just get it done before advertising it?
  6. To be fair the advert says "Coming with full year MOT", which I read as hasn't been done yet.

  12. I think a diesel on springs like HMC's is going to reduce the liability factor greatly I don't think the old BMW 525d engine is hugely complex. I remember reading about the issue with the later v8's I think the combination of worn out tooling and them maxing out their capacity made them pretty problematic.
  13. @Supernaut I think I've found that daily driver youve been looking for. https://www.gumtree.com/p/rover/audini-2.0-turbo-/1475751911
  14. 7 seater https://www.gumtree.com/p/daihatsu/daihatsu-atrai-7-seater-/1474976998
  15. Astra GTE with VXR running gear. Doesn't seem unreasonable at 7 grand. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116094494349?i
