1995 3.0 Elite Estate Manual - Black Leather Interior
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I got it, paid £299 on 'Buy It Now' off fleabay... was expecting a shed.... and welll its kind of a shed
Good Points:
When I arrived to pick it up it had 30 Litres of fuel in it!
3.0 V6 Manual, according to the trip computer i averaged 37.5 mpg on the way back!!
Someone has installed projector headlights on it
All 4 tyres have plenty of tread, but the alloys have gone walkies
Cruise control works
Air-con acually blows ice cold!!
MID in better condition that the '98 Reflection, hardly any dead pixels
Leather in very good condition, just needs a clean, as does the floor carpet.
Boot carpet bit diry but no rips. - good clean should fix that
Bodywork is in better nick than project A, only 1 main scratch. It has less rust than the 1998 Reflection!!!
Most of the interior bits intact are in good condition, just dirty
It has the 'rare' window de-mists on the back door cards.
Exhaust in good conidtion
Bad Points
It was an auto but now a manual, after starting at some services 'Auto Geabox' appeared on the MID :-?
Millage says 66k, but i think its more like 166k!! - Not sure what to do about that sell as 66k? :-/
Heavy 'Tapping noise' under acceleration. It sat at 75mph easily, still feels powerfull wanted to give more. - Can't hear it on idle, mainly between 1.5 - 4k... but as i said motorway cruising its fine.
Sunroof not working (you can hear it clunk - so its not a reprogram)
A lot of electrics are not working:
Both front seats, do not move at all with any of the button pressed. Seams odd both are completey dead, but i checked all the fuses all fine (remove and inspected by eye :-/
Windscreen washer jets not working, but 1 wire seams to have been cut
No Radio, and front speakers missing - Some god awful wiring on the loom its a right mess...
Rear boot lock a tad 'sticky'
Strip of plastic between the front light and bumper on the drivers side is the wrong colour.
Your welcome to see it Jame, i'd like your opinion on the tappets....
