Fantastic car, I really miss my VRS.

Brave guy buying a car from Burnage !! ;-)

Reg numbers starting with a C prefix are Welsh registered cars with CE being registered in Cardiff. I'm guessing its an ex South Wales Police car.

Hahahaha. Harsh but fair.

With detective skills like that I wouldn't consider joining the force ;-)

Its reading threads like this that I thank my lucky stars that I have a company car that gets replaced every 4 years.

My old one was SY52ULN and was a Northern Constabulary force car based in Inverness. I never found any pics of it though.

Very chav-tastic !

The dipstick is usually located behind the steering wheel ;-)

I would still rule it out by swapping it with the spare and taking it for a spin.

That buckled wheel may explain your shaking (unless its the spare wheel of course)

WOW That's a lot of miles ;-)

As is clocking cars !

So you want to drive about in a clocked car not wearing your seatbelt ??

Drop the back seats and go for a drive, that should tell you if its the seat back fixings.

Not uncommon. I could get into my mates Capri with my Capri key.
