Possible knackered engine

To answer both these posts, what I meant was £1500 would be a fair price, well fairish, but they will quote you that and then will knock the price down for every little thing, or so I have heard from others. Companies advertise round us "Higher price paid than Webuyanycar.com guaranteed."
Back in 2014 I bought mine GS auto with 150k on the clock, for £1850 so £3000 is either tongue in cheek or unrealistic. Have you looked on Gumtree and Autotrader for prices for comparison?
But we are getting ahead of ourselves here. Lets see if it can be made to run first![/QUOTE
Didn't you hear any noises from the engine, knocking etc?

no noise at all. Also when recovery man put water in it was pouring out but he did start it and drive it 100m to get to a bit safer place and it seemed fine but obvs that was only 100m
 
I had a burst hose on mine on the motorway. It was early and I was still half asleep so the first thing I noticed was that I was having to give it more pedal to maintain speed. I eventually got to full throttle and my speed was gradually dropping off- I think I was down to about 50mph flat out. Then the red coolant light came on which prompted me to look at the gauge! I got recovered, new hose fitted and it ran perfectly for many years after. I've read that there is a fuel limiter function in the ECU in the event of high coolant temp and my experience would support that.
