    Agreed. Chips are fine. As long as it doesn't look like it has been a repmobile up the jacksie of everything else on the motorway for a long time accept some lumps and bumps at this age/price point.

    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.

    Once stopped me buying a Cat D car though so worth the effort.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Regarding engine mounts, negotiate with the seller to change them.
    Exactly.

    Worn engine mounts is nothing to worry about, just have them replaced - with the high torque output of modern diesel engines they just don't last very long.

    Had this one a week, and got a blasted puncture. :mad:
