Ok update time  ;)


Against the advice of some members I did buy the car but negotiated a better deal.

The car itself is a reflection with a 2.5 V6 engine. The seller did say it was limited edition although it does not state that anywhere but it has the carbon bits, TC,AC elctric front windows, electric sunroof etc.

The car does shift I must say and so far I would place them just above the Rover 620gsi but not that much higher.

It has high milage ( 144k) as was a company car but has loads of service history. Cam belt was changed at 122k.

The only problem I feel is either from the suspension or wishbones as when going over bumpy ground ( most of the roads in my area) there is slight knocking from the passenger side.

Does anyone have any advice on what this may be as I am only guessing. Rough costs would also help.

the other problem is the fob. it works but you have to press the buttons hard and repeatedly to unlock/lock. I have changed the battery but no change. Can I get a new fob and reprogramme it myself or is it more techy?????

Cheers

Knocking is likely to be wishbone bushes or drop links...  ...full geometry check recommended after doing them.

The switches do sometimes play up.  Possible to replace switches and rubber from a better fob if you're good with soldering iron.

Replacing the fob involves getting it programmed to car...
