Last minute advice? Stiff drink?

Have you driven it yet? If not, when you do - check you can change up and down especially to second gear as the syncro is a weak spot. Disks may be due for change at about 50k miles.. look at service records to see if it had a cambelt (should have been due at 48k). Ask when it had its last clutch (it won't be on the original at that mileage) - they last about 25-30k miles depending on the driver. Fresh mot should mean the cats are ok.... er, thats all i can think of for now
