If you'd be happy to use it for a year or so, probably worth fixing if its not got interstellar mileage

Its a bad one Mark

I went to buy it last weekend but when I got it running it was missing and the water that was in the coolant tank drained within seconds and so did the other 4 kettles full. I then removed the dipstick the end was covered in Mayo and water vapour was spouting about 4 inches from the tube. There was a strong smell of petrol in the coolant tank as well.

Due to it being a 2000 W plate and that it's an MV6 that did not start life as a police car would it not be worth a bit more money.
