Just read the above post and thought "bloody hell sounds exactly like dans car"! Then realised it was you that posted! Yes dans UNO was a bit of a legend round these parts. I often have a look on eBay at them as I think they're brilliant toys, most seem to have been really neglected. My advice to the OP would be buy it anyway, then a welder and some electrical tape. Topped off with a bleed valve!
