Tiny picture right enough, not too far to travel to check it out though.

Meant to be going through tonight. Just been checking mot history. Wishbone bushes have been advisory the last few mots and also alot about headlight aim- thinking that could be a fault with self leveling. Failed twice on brake pipes also so i suspect they have been corrected.

Well, on the plus side, you'd be wanting to bin the front suspension anyway. Just make the seller aware what's required to get it to a decent standard. And if he says the front suspension's 'fine' I chewed an Omega tyre from perfectly legal to the canvas in a matter of a few weeks.

So leave the wishbones as they are, fit new tyres, and in 3 months you've got half 7mm, half bald tyres... it gets expensive, tell him!  :y

Just spoke to him. Apparently its had the wishbones replaced by a previous owner...i would check this anyway. Now the down side...its not a cdx. Its a cd. No cruise - which i would want. No self level xenons (doesnt matter - something else to break and i would just fit an hid kit) unsure what to do now....

Just a note to say, that if you, like me, find an immaculate CD, I had to buy it due to condition, low mileage and price. Already having two Elites, I do miss a few of the toys, but I fitted cruise control in about ten minutes for £15. Just had to get it programmed. All other aspects of the car was worth
the lack of toys. :y
