I've driven it for about 3500km - but it has been out of action since April or so. However I don't hang about when I'm driving... I was hoping that a bit of pedal to the metal would help with the car's behaviour but in this case it seems as though it has been sat for too long (even before I bought it) and so I guess every rubber component needs to be replaced.
I've just renewed every rubber part underneath - looks like the engine is next.
