Hey thanks for all the advice, it's a second hand car and I bought it through a mechanic - that's who I have the warranty with so on that front I should be good.
Were lucky I got the price lowered because he wanted it out of his shop, he bought it off a long term customer (in defence force off on tour) so knows the cars history - that coupled with the 3 year warranty, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
Thanks so much for reminding me about the fuel thing, I had heard it before but as I said my cars have been shit so I have never really worried - I will for sure be filling before it gets that empty from now on - Cheers :D
;D fantastic, you have a personal mechanic that knows all about it! You are lucky, hope the mechanic is a good one too. Yea the fuel thing is crucial. It is not said bit the fuel actually is full of minute dirt that accumulates at the bottom so if you pump that into your motor... Adios amigos lol... It is also good habit to empty the fuel tank every year to get rid of all that dirt... You don't want it piling up like laundry ;).. In fact ask your mechanic if he did a fuel tank drainage recently. Happy driving!! ;))
