considering i bought the car off a mate who assured me it was all good. I have been driving it for a week now and it makes all sorts of noises and rattles which makes it hard to figure what is going to fall off first

The alternator is not pushing out enough volts which then kills the battery - surprisingly the old owner never had any starting issues the whole car must have failed after the sale to me lol

Wrong bolts in starter which worked loose when the gearbox mount went - almost loosing the starter on the motorway.

Front tyre was showing the metal and the owner hadnt noticed.

There is more but i cant arsed to write anymore about it. Its a right bodged up shed and the term Polished Turb springs to mind lol
