Title: Nice Elite
Post by: Elite Pete on 06 November 2007, 18:50:35
I was thinking of putting in an offer on this but im bidding on another and my wife will give me plums like Jimbobs if I buy two.

Got to be worth a try at £1500

Anyone

tis a nice car and a nice price, would you be ridding yourself of the S reg?

i've messaged the guy about this one for me, asking about service history and cambelt, as the mileage suggests a new cambelt immediately, but it's well within my budget and i'd have change to cover work + insurance difference, tis perfectly what i want, black, cream leather, and 3.0!! allbeit a V reg

I doubt it, remove the rad and give it a good reverse flush, pressure wash to remove dead flies/leaves and flush cooling system with Forte. Refill with 50/50 anti freeze :y

Cambelt done at 54,000 miles :o so he thinks its OK for another 10,000 or so. I have pointed out it should have been done again 4000 miles ago. dont think I will be having a punt this time either.
