But be paranoid. Head problems is common from 80k's so accept no coughing from the engine.
I got one off ebay for £340 in April but that was a gamble... and i lost - the head gasket was gone.
I shipped it Newcastle-Stavanger from where I drove it home. After 300miles my leg started to cramp, but i managed to get the milage above 37mpg. Then I put my foot down and so did the milage! Went down from 37.1 to 35.5 on the last 2 hours home.
