Administrators hughezee Posted April 20, 2017 Author Administrators Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 This one looks a genuine bargain 70k, although in need of a timing belt and probably long overdue a transmission service http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201704184534147 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted April 23, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Blimey! Thats had a hard life. .how is it people can drive fine cars with all those faults? And so many cars have tyre advisories ,,,, really not that difficult to check are they ? And the log book missing, very careless attitude methinks... What else is wrong that is hidden away? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted April 23, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Whoever buys it will need to budget for new front springs and shocks i reckon. It looks like the bare minimum was done each year to gain a pass so when the front spring broke presumably only the one would have been renewed causing severe imbalance across the springs and also the shocks. Only way to get it safe is to bin the springs and shocks now. Before i got my Coupé, some clever character had replaced one complete front leg (spring,shock, hub, disc, caliper and pads! ) to replace a leaky front shock. This meant two imbalanced springs and shocks and worse still, one knackered disc and pair of pads! Soon after i got it, one of the front shocks went so i replaced both with second hand from a known source and the springs at the same time and that's when i noticed the knackered disc. New discs and pads followed although one side was like new. Totally transformed the ride and handling! The braking too as not only were the pads and discs new, but the shocks helped improve the braking as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
