Have a look at powerflow exhausts. My brother and friend has used them and been happy with the results. Budget £500-600 at a guess

An imobiliser issue will prevent it running as ECU imobiliser blocks the fuel pump. Are there any lights on the dash. Also is it worth getting a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?

Flat bottom wheel makes all the difference.

Definitely get them to fix this properly before you collect

I can't say I've heard anything of the sort yet. But I know they were investigating the vehicle owner of the car that caught fire on criminal damage charges etc.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 if it's from a dealer it's their responsibility to make sure these issues are fully rectified before you collect the vehicle

Glad you got sorted 🙂

I wonder if the security system on the radio has failed?

A local motor factors should be able to advise you on the type of bulb you need.

I'm not sure, you'll need an auto electrican to help.

Is it worth changing the clutch?

Also how old are the fault codes? If they're historic it might be worth clearing them, using the vehicle and then see what codes come back.

Glad you got sorted Kev 🙂

Sorry to hear of your situation, it's a well documented problem.

Could be the sensor that'd be the cheapest place to start I suspect
