Don't forget a full brake fluid flush too (including squeezing the calipers!) as 4 yr old brake fluid will be past its most effective!  

I could give you a list of what should be done (spent too much time round Mark, maintenance lists... )

Would be appreciated, mate.  

We have a brake fluid change guide done by yours truly:

AA and I just sat around drinking tea, and taking pictures....

That was for the brake disc change, did the fluid one all on my own

That's a good guide, Tunnie. Thanks.

Somewhere in my messy shed I think I have a Gunsons Easy Bleed kit which connects to the spare tyre and pressurises the system, so I won't need anyone to press the brake pedal.

Well, today I collected my 2002 2.6CD (with only 18k on the clock ).

A beautiful drive, with everything working as it should, although the first 10 minutes were a bit fraught as it was showing only 19 miles left on the range. Managed to find a petrol station near Chiswick and settled back to enjoy the rest of the drive home.

OK, so this car is a finance company repossession. It was first registered in 2002, then purchased by someone in January 2003. It seems they didn't keep up payments and the finance company had some problems in reclaiming it. They they finally tracked it down, but not in any obvious place, it seems. I think it has been stored somewhere in the countryside judging by the state of the engine bay. Needless to say, it comes without any owners manual or service manual and just one remote key which was cut last week, plus a manual spare. Got the MoT certificate and it shows it was tested 10 days ago.

Only problems are cobwebs throughout the engine bay and plastic wheel nut covers that seem to have lost their colour (should they be black or grey?).

I'll need to do a cambelt and oil change asap but other than that, it all looks good. Climate control works a treat, but what's all this Auto, ECO, LO stuff? Must get a handbook from somewhere!

SWMBO loves it, as the interior is in showroom condition with that genuine leather smell.  

Oh, and the previous owner left a Rod Stewart CD in the CDR 2005 (which seems quite a good setup).    

:)Rod Stewart cd--x--? That'll be the £4 difference in your cheque, dealers optional extras!!!

:)P.S, Mine was a repo, poor bloke fitted 4 new Michelins before they took it.
     Last recorded keeper was finance co, repo'd car from a lad in Stoke. Would'nt be fair to post further details.
