Hello, just joined the Forum.
I`m looking at what will hopefully be my first A2 tomorrow. I`m hoping not to make any costly mistakes but on the whole these do seem to be very reliable. The model is a 1.6 Black with a fsh. The year is 2004 and its up for sale at £2999 at a dealer. Black wouldn`t be my first choice but nice A2`s are a bit thin on the ground in Geordieland.
I love the looks and as I don`t do any more than 3-5 K mile pa it should suit me fine.
The only thing that concerns me is the comments about the harsh / hard ride. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to improve the ride by changing the dampers for example?
Any buying advice would be very much appreciated as I`m not much of a mechanic.
Thanks, Steve.
