I dont have receipts for this work becaue its pretty much all been done by myself, but you can see for yourself its done. I do have a receipt for cambelt change on 12/02/08 on 79500 miles,there
is also partial service history to back up a headgasket change back in 2003 which you can also tell it had a klinger fitted by looking and it doesnt weep any oil from right hand corner.There is also
an invoice for a passenger side driveshaft from Jan 2008 and plenty of old mots and bit and bobs including service book stamped up until 48000,i even have the emergency disarm pin and warranty document
from the day it was purchased.
Bad bits
Slight tick from manifold gasket on cold start fine when warm, i think a bolt maybe loose behind alternator as it was changed at 92000 along with studs will try to fix before sale
Bone shakeing G maxx suspension i did not fit this
Rust on both rear quarters and front passenger wing
roof paint is scratched to pieces not sure how its got like it lacquer problem?
Typical T series sticky valves shortly after cold startup scooby sounding
slight clutch judder in first gear been like it since i first purchased
Oil pressure light sometimes stays on until you raise the revs from startup,this sounds worse than it is. If you search my threads for oil Pressure? you will see that i asked about this back in Jan 2009 and still didnt manage to
cure it. There is an oil pressure gauge fitted and it has extremely good oil pressure, so i really dont have a clue what causes it. Even on the hottest days driving on boost it will drop to a minimum
of 2.1 bar on tickover and cold starts it sees 5 bar everytime, high revs shows no issues for pressure averageing over 6.3 bar at 5k the engine is also very quiet no tappet noise etc. I was also
not told about this when i purchased the car so i was quite livid but i wouldnt want to do it to someone else.
All in all the car drives very well, pulls hard and drives straight steerings very responsive and would be perfect for someone to tidy up and enjoy. This has been an everyday car for me and has never
let me down please dont be put off by the bad points come for a view and test drive before deciding.
Price is £950 ono.
