Well. I'm just back from the garage and here's what my lovely mechanic says about my Vicki...
No rear brake pads. (Reason handbrake isn't working)
Drivers side anti-roll link gone. (Rattle, knew this anyway.)
Battery or alternator not working (needs jump starting at present)
Cam belt tensioner had about an inch of movement and has frayed the belt itself.
Someting is wrong with either temperature or fuel sensor due to the dodgy nature of the engine at start up. (he rules out injector seeing as it runs beautifully when it up to temperature, but is going to check the fuel filter anyway)
She has had her cat removed in a 'brutal manner' (apparently not an issue now, but the way it has been done in a way which will degrade the exhaust very quickly).
Soo.... She has some issues but nothing unfixable. Especially based on how long I've had my eye on one of these and at a price I can afford.
