New (to me) C30 T5

[patch234]

Evening guys,

Just bought a c30 T5 for the wife to use and for a little fun for myself when I return home - I work abroad. I paid a flat £4K for her.

I'm picking the car up early November and will drive her home. She has 120,000 plus miles on her with a FSH. I am wondering what the general consensus is with these 2.5T engines, I read they are as used in the ST. But are they as reliable as those found in the old 850 T5 or even vaguely based on them? I have no idea?

Anyway, the car is mint and has been well looked after, where I live people drive around in old Mercs and Lada's with double this mileage so I am not put off by the mileage but I am interested to what the opinions are with this little beast of an engine.
