Title: help!!! 3.0 elite
Post by: maddy on 29 July 2007, 13:47:38

hi what a great site i had to join.    I am just about to purchace a 1996 3.0 elite saloon. and i would love to know if there are any things i should be looking at to make sure its a ok buy. the owner has told me that he has changed the cam belt himself? not a job i would like to do on my own. but dose anyone think this is a job that should be done on a diy bassis.   it also showing 125.000 miles which sounds right for car but i do know that he has broken omegas in the past and it wouldnt take him much to change the clocks. is there anything i could look at to see if that has been done.    cheers for anyone willing to help

Welcome to the forum :y

I would be wary of him saying he's changed the cam belt himself, ask to see the receipts for the parts.

Welcome to site :)

Ask him to produce receipt for bits, and ensure its full kit with tensioners.  It is easily DIY, but you need the locking kit.
