You might find you're better off with a 2.3 auto than a 2.0 manual.
Depends where and how you drive mostly.

Most London cars these days are autos because people spend so much time stuck in traffic.

Mine also came from London and is a 2.8 V6 auto - probably does better on fuel than yours!

That said, once you clean the breather out it will improve!

Mine was a manual London car. No clutch left and evidence of many, many accidents, scrapes and crashes.

The only real damage on mine was (allegedly) done by a low-flying trampoline during Storm Barney :

Also evidence of the rear bumper hitting something or being hit, not sure which but it's a sort of banana-shape where it should be straight!
