A Rusty Screw

[Richy123]

My mate is looking at getting a 182 and I looked under the bonnet and noticed the screws protruding from the suspension towers (where you would attach a strut brace) were completely rusted and when I sat in the driver's seat and did the gears 3rd gear was more like 5th gear in that it wasnt straight up it was slightly to the right - are these things anything to worry about?

This particular 182 only has 7000 miles though, thats why I thought I was out of the ordinary.
