Update: Well, 3 weeks have passed since I bought the car, and it has done 1,500 miles in that time. First, there was getting it back home, then a couple of good runs in the Highlands, then back to England again for a week in the Lake District, and now we are coming to the end of a week's holiday in Ayrshire.
Basically, nothing much to report. So far, no nasty surprises. The minor problems that I noted before buying are still there, of course, but I've gotten used to them. Indeed, I have very much gotten used to the car, and it is beginning to feel like an old friend.
For the first tank of fuel after my purchase, I got about 46 mpg which I found a bit disappointing. I soon got around to checking the tyre pressures, and discovered that they were pretty low, so I pumped them up, and on my second tank, I got about 52 mpg. I guess I'll fill up again some time next week and find out what the mileage is for the 3rd tank.
