Bought this yesterday- a mate told me about it , was his wife’s ex husband’s car - was told it had a buggered engine so I picked it up for $1500 [emoji41]

Also tried to fit this fiddly little bastard of a plug - I bought 2 of them and buggered up both of them [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35] Fkn little wires I hate them ...
