The vendor has provided the following:
We know it would benefit from a new water pump, and a replacement is in the boot ready to be fitted
You are indicating the roof doesn’t work but the photos we sent with the car show it down no problem but when it was picked it up from us the indicator said batteries too low to operate so with new batteries it would be expected to work fine.
