Woohooo!!
I’ve got one! Just picked it up this morning.
It needs a proper clean among other things.
From the drive home it needs the following immediately. It’s a shame it doesn’t have DIS but not the end of the world. Might update to colour DIS if I have any budget.
• Correct colour indicators
• Offside headlamp beam direction adjustment.
• Rollbar linkage dust cover replacements
• Nearside front wheel bearing replacement.
• Replace alloy wheels and tyres all-round
• Parking brake adjustment (application uneven)
• MOT
• Fix fuel pump button. (Not sure if it’s as simple as that or more electrical)
• Purchase parcel shelf cover
• re-gas aircon
• full service and filters
• full valet and paintwork issues addressed
• restore headlamps and fog lamps.
• locate the acceleration whine/squeal (sounds like fan belt noise)
• I’m yet to find out if the cam belt and water pump is needed to be changed. (Belt was changed a year or so ago, no mention of water pump though...)
• address stereo and fix antenna reception problem.
• Install sub and amp
• Window Wind deflectors
• Fuel cap release button replacement
• Replace matts (already got)
• Climate control buttons tidy up... either stickers or unit replacement.
Wish List
----
Cruise control (does anyone know how much that costs to install?)
Rear cup holder unit (if anyone has one i'd be interested in it)
DIS would be interested in Colour or standard! (Have no idea how expensive this is.. so if anyone has an idea i'd be interested to get costs)
rear arches paintwork to be sorted...Perhaps do this in the spring next year.
A couple of points I need to ask.
The drivers side door (front) doesn’t open very far. Is this normal? All others seem to open out a lot wider. (Check strap already bought from Depronman £25 + Delivery & £20 refundable deposit)
It has a false floor which is cool and hope that I can fit my bike rack in it and keep that out of the way. The clutch and gearbox feels great. The brakes seem decent too but will inspect them and see how they are looking. Think rear drums will need doing.
I’ll be putting in some fuel treatment and running on decent petrol.
Hopefully this should be done in the next few weeks.
