Picked up the t5r (854 olive) from isle of wight, very happy indeed, glen very nice helpful chap.
Replaced fuel pump (free from warren, thanks buddy) and bleed out a bit of water and started up first turn of the key. A nice sounding engine and good auto box. Full service history with loads of receipts and 2 owners a real result. Only 110k on the clock.
A big plus is the rica 304 ecu fitted to it, haven't looked it over it properly, but may be a pipe on it as well and fresh uprated ebc yellow stuff and grooved drilled discs.
Will add pic when I get a chance, best £350 I've spent in a long time.
