Well, well, well... I can officially say... All problems have been now fixed. What a journey its been and has taken 1y4m to get to this point.

Moral of the story is... Do not buy from a friend that you have known for 20 years (who is clearly interested in money and not friendship). He is a Car salesman and their mechanic is dodgy as hell). Car salesmen says one thing, mechanic does something completely opposite and cuts corners as much as he could.

So, a bit of a background story if anyone is interested...

New Subframe Bolt as original was loose and could fall out.
New Turbo Pipe (they used plastic tie to hold it up, this caused a split pipe).
Wheels needed re aligning.
New Tyre pressure sensors.
New Tyre valvles as they were leaking.
New Instrument Cluster as that was faulty.
New Clutch (upgraded competizion) original was sticking which lead to buying the two things below.
New Cylinder.
New Flywheel.
New Battery (they knew the one on it was faulty).
A rattle - this was caused by Rear Pads/Discs as they put wrong ones on that caused damage to discs.
Aircon completely re done as they didnt do it as it smelt really bad.
Full service as i didnt trust them as they said they serviced it. Im glad i did as the oil was black and spark plugs never been changed for example.
Spare key not being programmed.
New Jet washer covers as one fell off and this lead to noticing the jet washer arm being broke and noticed they glued it together rather than buying a new one to replace the broken one. New Dipstick which was glued (who does that).
The RS had been running rich and mountune said that was normal because of the type of car it is... ITS NOT!! so, got a new lamda sensor and a custom built purge valve

Security system install, not once, but 3 times with in a year (first 2 installs were installed incorrectly and gave the car communication issues as well as drained battery)

Another new battery as the 1 year old had been battered by constant drain for 1y3m

I changed number plates as i refused to advertise the company that sold me the car.

Now, I can finally say. Its pretty much mint now! apart from being dirty!
