Thank you, I bought this car.
It is in pretty good order, not perfect but certainly not rubbish.
The last owner had it 11 years and sold it because he was stopping driving.
At first I thought the beige interior was funky but now I like it, it gives a bright feel to the interior.

When I got it home it started ****ing water out from below the exhaust manifold.
I thought all kinds of things.
When I looked, the leak was from the connection of the heater pipe to the feed pipe coming from the engine.
A mechanic is looking at it tomorrow, hopefully he will be able to fix it without lifting the engine or removing the air mass sensor. It's tricky.

The car drives like a Rolls. (Hehe a Bentley actually!).

So I am happily driving a GLT again.

If anyone wants to swap for a GLT auto estate in similar condition then I will do that because the estate is more useful to me, and I have a full trade rack and even a spare auto gearbox for one, but I am happy driving the saloon and have to say that the saloon is a much nicer car to drive around in, but they don't look very good carrying wardrobes etc..

In the future I may be willing to add cash to swap for an auto estate in better condition than this, if there is anyone looking for such a deal.
Only a GLT will do.

Thanks for the input guys, and good luck with your searches.
