Regards HPI you can do www.mytextcheck.com for about £3 while you are looking at the car. Actual HPI website is/was nearer 30 notes but I beleive is more comprehensive.

A HUGE thanks to all you guys (and gals, if any of you participated) for your opinions and advice.
I'm now the proud owner of a 6 year-old, immaculate, Focus Zetec [Euro 4] [Climate Pack], with a FSH and just 67k on the clock.0 -
Had my previous car for about 2 years, and never had one.
Had this one a week, and got a blasted puncture. :mad:0
