It's a lot of car for the money. That engine bay doesn't look too bad does it - except the inevitable seized fasteners.

It’s as well it’s a big car. You’ll need it to carry your huge testicles about.

I can't really lose even if it shits itself. The wheels are valued at near enough a grand (20"!) and the cats must be worth a few quid.
It's quite rapid and is a more sporty drive than the lexus. Loads of toys in it. Keyless entry, stop start button, electric steering wheel, bose radio, flappy paddles, automatic boot and I noticed the cruise control braking going down a hill.
There are a couple of jobs though. One is the indicator bulb. Another Robson said the squirter tank drains over a couple of days or something along those lines and I've noticed the headlights are cloudy.
Any tips on making them shiney again? I've heard/read toothpaste works.

Other than basic maintenance, I won't be working on the engine. Sod that.

wipe headlights with lint free cloth or kitchen roll ,soaked in cellulose thinner.. Do it fast ,and don't stop halfway across...just a quick wipe and let it harden..turn cloth ,(it'll be filthy ) Then another quick wipe ...and let it harden . Gleaming in seconds!! Dunno if acetone nail polish remover works too?

Is there really any need for bollox of that size? Good job us humans are more modestly hung or we'd be listening to "I'm not in love" by Six Gallons.

Are the headlight washer leaking? Usually a pool or water under the car/car is crying when they do.
I've had that before where it drains the tank through them. Cheap fix is a one way valve inline may help reduce or eliminate the leakage.
