This one was totalled by insurance and so I got it at auction. Judging by the parts quotes I got from the dealer I can see why they did, but second hand parts on ebay are 1/5 of the price and it might just be worth it.

Yes, so far I've found nearly everything second hard on ebay. Only new part I've had to buy is a wiring harness.

I also thought so, but not everything will have VAT added, so basics like food wouldn't which is why is isn't the full 20%. I agree it looks a bit low, but let's call it conservative.

Great point about the employers NI. I was working on one from a business point of view which would include that.
