Would give the car a nice long run on the motorway which is good for it, let's it get up to a decent running temp & stretch its legs.

You can either get a refurbed one from then or a second hand one for around £170. Up to you which the refurbed one would probably be a better investment if you are planning on keeping it for a fair bit.
