    Get rid of it. Sounds like a waste of time & money for something so rough and kinda pointless.

    As above, there’s a sensor in the power steering pipes which tells the ECU to raise the revs slightly when steering at a standstill. This is to prevent the engine from stalling due to the extra load...

    I used to have a small 6x4 metal shed in my garden and it was pretty flimsy. Worst thing I remember was the banging noises when it’s windy. Worth taking into account before you buy.

    Ok smashing, thanks. Basically you can’t pick one up at all for less than about £4500 with high mileage etc, so with a bit of luck if the worst was to happen I’d get my money back.
