Finally joined the ranks of the wheeled. The cost of insurance... : First quote was £1340 - going up to £1700 if I added people.
Anyone got any tips for buffing out a bumper? Just before I took ownership of it I watched the previous owner scrape it up and down a large kerb. You couldn't make it up, but yup, that's what he did. I'll add a picture later.
Also anyone know how he might have deactivated the parking sensors (which the car has). He said "read the manual it's simple to reactivate them" but there's nothing in there. Apparently it should not be a user option, they should just turn on automatically. Needless to say that is not happening. There is no individual fuse (it's lumped in with several other working things). So it's either disconnected physically or at a software level. But I don't fancy my chances if the latter...
