    Hehehe yeah - like I say, we can deal with the bulk of the major stuff with the money we got, since we only have to pay for parts. We think we have sorted the air pump issue as the engine light is no longer on and we already replaced the fuses which only cost a couple of quid.
    Plus the new car is cheaper to insure and much cheaper to run, so all is good.
    And thanks.

    For clarity: WHAT CHUFFING AIR PUMP?:o

    It's on the T Sport models - it's fitted to reduce emissions and helps with cold starts as far as I can tell. It's not really an essential part and the car runs okay if it's not working but it slightly affects performance and turns off the traction and vehicle stability control, so it's obviously preferable to have it working.
