Well I'm bound to need some assistance in sorting out a few of the cars faults!
Had a poke around today and there's a few niggles to sort. The car basically drives ok, apart from a very warped rear disc but I already knew that as it was in the advert.
The oil dip stick tube appears to be loose at the bottom where it goes into the sump. Not sure what's at fault there as it's a bit difficult to see.
The viscous fan seems a bit over keen, as it is locking up even when the car is running at normal temperature. On previous car's I've owned I just take them off and replace with an electric fan. Not sure if that's a good idea or not with it being turbo diesel?
Cruise control doesn't work. It's never really bothered me on other cars I've owned with it fitted, but I wouldn't mind having a go at getting it to work at some point.
The alloy wheel centre cap bolts are all missing, so will need a set of those and a key, will also need another centre cap as I only have 3 out of the 4.
The original type CD player doesn't display on the dash, but this might be because the brake warning light is always on, I can't remember how to clear the warning light so it goes off. The unit seems to work ok though. As long as I can get radio 2 I'll be happy as that's all I ever listen to!
Need to source and fit a rear silencer, seems to be plenty on ebay going cheap. Not too fussed about doing that straight away as it doesn't seem to be much noisier without it!
I'm sure there will be other things to do. First on the list will be the rear discs, will get them ordered in the week.
