Picking up my 'new' car tomorrow! Bodywork is in a fair condition, one small dent on offside wing. Engine is in poor condition, may need a replacement, but then again the car has only cost £150!

How it broke: Last owner saw the 'oil service' light, and decided to just add a litre of oil to the engine. :s Now has misfire on cylinder 1, and oil has come out of the spark plug hole.
So I have a few options:
-Rebuild engine with new seals and hope it solves the problem

-Find another 1.4l engine to put in

-Or put in a slightly bigger engine, maybe a 1.6 Gti engine ;D

If anyone thinks it could be solved easier than this please tell me, would save quite a bit of time. smile
