And the plot thickens.

It would appear the same dealer sold the car to another person 10 days before me, and they had then returned it to the dealer. I am trying to establish communication with this person to find out why they returned it, but I have no phone number.

So if Phillip Jones from Pantmawr, Cardiff ever reads this please let me know. You bought the car I now have on the 14/9/19 and the registration number is BL04 YZX. I have the receipt from the garage in among the paperwork for your purchase.

Note to self, never buy a car without seeing it.

I have emailed the garage where I got it from, problem is I am now 150 miles away, I need to drive it 300 miles next week as I no longer have two cars. I have no choice but to drive it and monit the situation. I know that's my problem, being so far away. Lets see what they come back with, I did pay 1/4 purchase price on Credit card.

And to think I took it in for them to check the brakes as one wheel has sticky slider pins. Other issues discovered.

2x Tyres, I knew about these anyway as they were advisories on the MOT.

Both rear coil springs are broken at the last coil, and have been for some time based on the corrosion of the exposed surface of the remaining spring.

Offside rear shock absorber is weak.
