Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
How many miles has it done?
, the exhaust is a bit blowy (shame because it sounds quite good that way and the brakes are a bit spongey.. First port of call will be an mot to see exactly what needs doing then I'll make a decision as to whether its worth doing- not in it to make money but not planning to spend loads and loads on it. TBH if it needs too much then it'll be broken . Really hoping it'll be fine tho, reckon I can get some progress in the next few weeks- will update with photos as necessary!!
ActivaMad, I wish you all the most sincerest best with it mate, really I do, but I think if you paid anything for it, you've probably paid too much. It's rotting from the inside out, you're going to need to replace every rubber component, you'll definitely have to drain all the fluids and replace all the filters, the cam belt is a must change, and the petrol tank is probably suspect too.Why will it it be rotting from the inside out? Appreciate service work required but think you are overestimating the work that needs doing but to renew every rubber component might be a bit overkill. To be fair most expensive bits will be cambelt filters etc peanuts and i will be doing all the work on it. That said will be going through MOT before i spend anything on it. Hope you're wrong too i know it won't be cheap but will certainly keep you all posted! Don't expect it next week tho too many other projects going on!
The fact that it started is not really a surprise - that V6 is the most fabulous aspect of these cars.
I want to be proved wrong, want you to be able to laugh at me, so please do post more pics when its back on the road, together with your total expenditure to get it there.... 8-)
. Once I have sone space to work on it there will be pictures galore- well chuffed as it's my fave colour as well.
