Yup, Congratulations!

136k? Nice one! only just run in then....

Welcome to the 240 clan! Oil leak should be easily sorted with anew gasket. Rear bumper - is it just the plastic cover or is the aluminium bar wrecked as well?

the fittings all seem to be there.just the bumper missing

It should be reasonably easy to source one from a breakers.

will i need to get one that is year specific or are they interchangeable between years.

Anything from around 1984 (A) onward will fit. To be honest you are unlikly to find anything older than a 1986 car on a brakers.
