New diesel pump, altanater and starter motor on it.1 of the reasons I went for it.

And I found £1 in the pen holder bit.

So I only paid £999 lol

It's a nice lil van.

no i used it on a met black mk6/7 escort, i think it's similar to that stuff for cleaning your car with no water, a lot less elbow grease than t-cut, plus it doesn't leave shite on your black trim i guess you can use t-cut/brasso on the brown rust marks, it wont get rid of the rust but will remove the rust stain on the paint
