As it was so cheap you might want to cut your losses and buy an engine for a couple of hundred £. Then break this one in your own time and repair or sell the good bits to get some money back.

Yep that is what I am looking to do now.

I havent yet had chance to look at the coolant, I was back at work today then mopping up at my friends where the bike was parked as oil was continuing to drip out of the joint at the silencer -  we reckoned it wasnt going to drop anymore last night as it had not been run - but it obviously did  :rolleyes

Hoping to get a look at the coolant and drain the remaining oil tomorrow eve.

as for oil level before any of this took place, it looked to be ok in the sight glass - I only topped up when the light came up, and a bit at a time checking & stopping when the light def stayed off?
- the idea was to get the mot then do a oil & filter change anyway as didnt know when it was last done - the coolant was checked when leak fixed and topped up. It hadnt over heated in the time I have had it, though thats not to say it hasnt in the past.

Will come back to thread when had a look at the coolant.
