must be the most terrible feeling, ive never even had my car broken into but i know i would be raging if it did happen. Like you say a cheap laugh for one person leaves you screwed tbh, hope they get knocked down.
if you revved up and let the clutch out slowish then it is going to wear the face a little. Totally normal its just how it works, if there are no ill effects now then its no problem.
it will be mixed with coolant, but if it needs a slight top up just use water. However the cooling system should not be losing fluid. is there any crusty looking coolant around any of the pipework?
you need some PAS fluid as well and top it up, make sure not to overfill.
with the amount you would save on your first 3/4 services having them done elsewhere you could respray half of the car, the corrosion warranty means hardly anything anyway, it doesn't cover if there is a stone chip in the area, if you take it to the dealer you are crazy imo.
as above you really want everything from the steering wheel backwards to make it hassle free. Not worth doing, if your going to do it sell yours and get an earlier one, seems a shame to do it to a car worth a fair bit.
yeh check the mount under the battery and the front one where it bolts to the subframe, sometimes the nut falls off the bottom (its concealed inside the subframe)
remove glass and seal and clean and also clean channels and drains, if its leaking past the frame you need to remove the frame, use some silicon all the way round the lip where it meets the roof skin and refit.
