its you own fault if your not intelligent enough to know what to look for, you shouldnt have bought an rs the fact you have it in a garage having all the work done says it all
you should have taken a competent person or had an rac inspection, you have no come back on the guy
as for the heroes saying show up on the guys door step if someone did that to me id pull them in the house and beat them into a coma and just tell the police that they forced there way in lol
with buying any 2nd hand car you cant trust anyone and the cars are sold as seen just bite the bullet spend the cash or break it but stop squinnying about it
having said all that im not being a c**t welcome to rs ownership be prepared to throw all you money in the money pit, there is a wealth of knowledge here and alot of parts in the forsale section
