Glad you found some value here. I think some of us were worried you were never going to find a ride. Congrats!

Thanks!! I think I let some of the negative talk, about IMS, and the one bad PPI scare me into looking for a car without a single flaw! In the end I got what I think is a really good car, at what I think was a pretty good price. Managed to get an S and still have more than enough money for clutch and IMS, over the winter.

Very nice car!!!!! Pics can be deceiving but the blue finish looks great.

I am the last guy to suggest doing this that these and those "Just to Be Safe" but if it were me, in addition to the IMS and other items you mentioned, Have the Water Pump Replaced with an OEM or Raby Unit if he still sells them...........

Forgot to mention, Buy this at your local Autozone:

Liquid Wrench/Silicone spray lubricant (M9-14) | Lubricant/Grease | AutoZone.com

Spray it into the front and rear window guide uprights. If that doesn't do it clean out the track after removing the door panels, then spray the lubricant in those tracks, pretty easy really:

I took her out for a good long drive today. And the car developed a little bit of a whine. I think it might be the water pump. In she goes on Monday to have a look.
