going to have a look at this in the week, wot should i be looking out for
he says the lambda sensor is goin on it , wot kinda price is a new sensor
any advise would be much appreicated. http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1168485
the usually stuff first crash damage,whining diffs,knocking from the engine when cold,seals and c.v boots make sure the auto box changes gears smooth,autos dont usually give trouble if you want me to go look at it with you just give us a shout,free of course get a genuine o2 sensor as the aftermarket ones give up the ghost pretty quick loking around 150 for a genuine one
check for excessive ammounts of oily deposits around the pipes leading into the solinoid box and where the intercooler joins the inlet manifold. squeaky suspension is not uncommon as the top mounts can make a bit of noise when dry but should not deter a buyer. knocks in the suspension should be heeded. check the radiator as these seem to go quite a bit on the leggys. temp gauge should only go up about half way and from cold it will take about 5-10 mins of normal driving before it will be warm enough to give it full boot.
ive a near identical car that is sittin up at the minit but its there if ye want to get a closer look at one and ask a few questions im in north county dublin.
