I went to view THIS today down in Redhill. The PO traded it in for a Ford Kuga....silly chap.
Anyway I’ll get to the point. Rust in the rear top tailgate section, 8 small holes in the back of the rear seats, looks like a gob bite, passenger side steering rack boot leaking fluid, rear diff lock not working, two quite deep scratches on the roof, batteries tested and at 50% (not sure what that means but it’s on the form), steering wheel up and down motor not working, lots of green AC fluid down the foam covers of the front radiator hose and AC not blowing cold.
Apart from that it needs a very good clean and the last MOT mentioned rear bushes had play.
I made an offer and have walked away as they had other coming to view the car later today and tomorrow.
The more I drive the 5spd the more I know I really want one but am still very tempted by the low mileage 2000-2002 that are floating around and would consider a very clean mint 80.
The search continues with another viewing on Monday of this one
