How comes selling? After all the work to get it back together?

Bought an estate diesel to start my own business. can't justify the expense of keeping two vehicles. Shame really, as I've had the lude over 15 trouble free years. Time to sell.

only issues are non working a/c and a few supermarket trolley dings, and wheels need a refurb.

Don't know if this is general advice but when I got my custom exhaust fitted to my 5g the guy mentioned about the system almost shrinking during the first month of use. Must be to do with the metal expanding and contracting. For me I had a powerflow system made up so wanted the branding on the tailpipe to just stick out. Sure they will accommodate for the exhaust extended past the bumper but might be helpful to know!

The exhaust should be slightly past the bumper anyway to ensure the gasses don't mark your paintwork but I think you only need to worry about it shrinking is if it's a twin exit exhaust ie one at each side.
