  2. Your old man sounds very much like mine and said the same . And funnily enough I've had the same thing happen with stuff id entered into the auction to be told through a mutual friend that it had an oil leak my response was similar go back and tell him that's why a ten year old car was sold in the auction with no warranty in the first place funny thing is it was £500 junker that had a fortune spend on it as i was intending keeping it as had bought it for a garage daily at the time but turned into a money pit and could have probably bought a 3 year old of the same model cheaper the junker that replaced it was a one owner high miler and never missed a beat bought from the same auction house
