the whole lot is included in the sale mate everything ever but and bolt. All that I have ask andy to do was take the engine out of the car to inspect it plus the new owner would need to be doing this anyway to repair it so it’s saved them money straight away.

turbo is fine and it’s standard turbo.

Sorry to hear this; I guess there was no come back from the previous owner? Cars that throw their coolant out after less than a week of ownership are sure to have done it before.
You previously said that it was part exchanged, so you should be entitled to your money back

the prev owner said he didn’t know anything would of went wrong. But who am I to point the finger unfortunately this is the gamble we take when buying a used performance car or even just a used car in general.

so a can’t really do much about it, he did say he was going to try and sell some car parts n stuff n give me money back but end of the day a will take it with a pinch of salt and move on. If he does give me anything back then fair play but am not holding out on it.

the sad thing is I actually loved the car for the 5days I had it was so nice to drive the power was fun everyone was commenting on it saying how nice and was and stuff and then this happened.

so probs go back to a Renault again as I know them inside out we’re as the Subaru I haven’t go a clue.
