What is this new 6 months implied warranty that is now supposed to
exist on 2nd cars bought from a trader? Lot of them only seem to say
they give a 30 days warranty.

Anybody know how I go about getting a username/password for the manheim
auction site- not a trader so can't afford to pay everyday. Thanks

Having problems with the thing and not sure what to try next. Have replaced
the distributor cap and plugs which seemed to help a lot , but then about a
