Good afternoon All
It has made it to my drive! So far I have only managed to run it up and down the road as it has no tax and test. It had been standing for a year so everything's a bit stiff. The previous owner was only the second owner and acquired it in 96. He said it had a strut replace and new spheres all round just before it got laid up, but I have no paper work to back this up.
It got taken off of the road because the abs light was coming on every time he tried to get it MOTed it was on when i looked at it and now I got it its off, I will have to clean the electrical plugs and check all the sensors to see if i can stop it coming off.
The body work seems to be in fairly good condition for its age. The boot is full of spare parts headlights a suspension strut and loads of switches along with some other bits and bobs.
Its got 130k on it and i have no history for it what so ever so once its moted a full service and new cam belt are in order. The faults I have found so far are sunroof wont shut, passenger window does not work from drivers switch, handle for glove box it broken and thats it so far underneath looks fairly good and overall I am quite happy with it.
Thanks Tom
