As the car had been unused for a while I decided to get it check over and as well as a leaking shock absorber and worn brakes, there is...

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I'm just looking to buy a 2003 03 1.2S for my 17 year old son as his first car - actually he's paying, I'm just helping him to buy.
