If he turns up on your doorstep I'd have him done for harassment and sent straight back where he just came from!
He said the oil leak appeared after he steamed cleaned the underneath, and maybe all the crap was the reason it wasn't noticed earlier-so therefore how can I be at fault?? He also said he noticed the power-steering was making a slight wine on the test drive, but put it down to low fluid-so again I can't see any fault on my behalf.

you've knocked 20% off the asking price so that's more than enough
Thats exactly what I said, £500 off the asking price is a big drop

I do wonder if it's something to do with the fact you have a different radio to standard? But then why would it be because of that? Hmm.
I thought the better sony stereo only came on the facelift models?? The only reason I can think off was that a previous owner had maybe broke the switch and got the wrong replacement. Until he mentioned it, I didn't even know there was mean't to be a switch.
