unfortunatly we have just found out the engine is stolen, the car will be seised tonight, as the last poster said, i do have rights to claim, as it was false advertising, and i have the recipt from seller saying 1.6 golf.

Good job we found this out, if we had an accident, our insurence would of been void, and sh!t would of got a whole lot worse

only thing is , im now stuck with no car or cash to buy one, gutted

thanks for the help guys.
