Hahahaha ! 
' So to sum up its an old car and has been modified so the new owner will need to be a car enthusiast, when a warning light comes on you’re not going to be able to take it down to the main dealer and sit in their fancy showroom drinking a tall skinny latte coffee with a hint of nutmeg while they plug it in to the latest diagnostic machine and tell you it’s showing a fault code on the “oscillating downdraft little end flange bearing ECU shaft control unit” and it’s going to take 4 weeks to get the part as it’s on back order from the factory (note for all you non mechanically minded people don't worry this part was recently replaced and should be good for at least another 20,000 miles !!!!)
But don't think this car hasn't got any warning gadgets on board because it does, take for example the oil warning light, if you have a problem it will start to glow getting brighter and brighter if you choose to carry on you will then hear an audible warning noise (a bit like a loud banging noise) you are now in limp home mode as they call it now, if your stupid enough to continue driving it will automatically shut down and bring the car to a halt, how clever is that? Note if it does go in to automatic shutdown no amount of latte coffee or fancy diagnostic leads will get it running again. '
