Good bits:
Brand new upper engine mount
Bodywork's ok, but it's been in the wars so quite a few small dents/scratches but no rust.
Engine's nice and the turbo has no problem putting a smile on your face when it kicks in.
No problems with the gearbox.
Done around 175,000 with no problems. 70+ of that since I bought it about 26 months ago mostly motorway miles.
Electrics all work bar the heated seats. Retro-fitted trip computer.
Keypad immobiliser. Last time I used the keypad ti worked perfectly, but I usually just use the key.
Climate control works, aircon blows nice and cold in the middle of summer, even if the car's been left in the sun for the day
Recent brake pad/disc replacement.
Exec alloys - good condition including a spare! Tyre tread ok.
Cream leather electric seats (estate). Worn but still nice.
Hydraulics are all good (though I may nick the clutch for my dad's)
Foglamps
Recent change of all filters (been done *very* regularly)
Can throw in the original stereo and cd changer
Bad bits:
Needs a new bonnet and hinges for MOT
Needs a new n/s CV boot and track rod end for MOT
The centre rear seat has no seatbelt (but it's still an MOT pass!)
Idles a bit dodgy. Suspect it's one of the injectors a bit clogged.
One radiator fan is dead, presume it's the fan itself
Radiator needs replacing, or just make sure you put some radweld in whenever you flush the system.
The connector holding the one of the tailgate light clusters on was rusted last time I had to change a bulb. I've cleaned it out and freshened up the seal, but it may need another clean next time a bulb goes. Luckily you could take the cluster out and it'd still pass MOT.
Would be an ideal car to break, you'll make plenty of money off it if you've got somewhere to keep it and a bit of time to list stuff on ebay. Or you could have it back on the road for about £300 but be aware it is overdue a cambelt change which'll cost.
£offers?
