I did end up going for it in the end although I'm still not sure if it was the best idea. Was quite scary driving it home, first time driving alone and first time in that car, I'd definitely been spoilt by the instructors almost brand new car.
Wouldn't start after I got it home, turns out they had split the negative terminal when swapping out the knackered battery with a pre worn. £2 fix
Took it for a drive, initially thought the diesel smell was normal but turns out there was a leak. One of the injectors I think has a corroded return pipe, no visible leak from the fuel pipe. It's the one on the end with the capped return pipe on one side which isn't leaking, I can't see the other side because the intercooler is in the way so I guess it could also be the o ring.
I'll try and upload some pictures when I get home later. It's is pretty pokey when it gets going
