Unfortunately as it is your car won't be worth much & will be much harder to sell. Good luck with it mate. Feel for you.

Just be careful on the search function. Most of their praise is because of Matty.
Matty has now moved on.
He is still a trader on here but under mbdevelopments. You might want to ping him a PM as I'm sure with his vast amount of knowledge he'll be able to help you and point you in the right direction.

Does it crank evenly? With compression that low I'd expect you to be able to hear bop, bop, bop, whoosh (if that makes sense) as one of the pistons has no compression. Is the hawk the same DBW as the hatch, if you hold the throttle to the floor and crank it won't fire? You'll be able to hear the crank then and see if you notice anything amiss.

Get trading standards involved? As above i personally would buy a cheap run about and get it sorted. I can understand tho why you disheartened after a short period. Did you suspect an issue that made you take it for check?
