    Where were you a few days ago :p - a great idea but unfortunately we've already given the go ahead for the repairs this weekend gone - we're expecting the car back in a few days :o

    If you are happy with the rest of the car, it's probably the right decision - another way of looking at it is what would you be able to get for £630 - and whatever it was you would have no idea what might be wrong with it.
