Get a good manual (the Bentley!) and concentrate on the functional problems first; deal with the cosmetic things slowly as they come along. If you don't get involved in learning how your car WORKS it will let you down sometime and that will be totally frustrating. The more you know about it BEFORE you have trouble the better off you will be when that time comes.
