Oh, one other random thing is that the design of the windscreen washer reservoir means that over time gunk can build up and block the jets. To remove and clean you need to take a wheel off and remove bodywork from the inside wheel arch.
It's the sort of thing you could diy if you have off-street parking and all the equipment. Not expensive to pay someone to do it though. Anyway point is, if you're buying from a dealer check the jets work properly and you're best off using premix rather than adding london tap water. That said, when I did the maths it was basically equal price over 5hrs to pay a garage to clean the reservoir. So it's not really important.
All in all they're great cars.
If you're in North London, tecnosport are a good indy.
