Ok, you must be getting sick, so am i to be honest, all i want to do is drive another fronty.

just about bought 2 other, but the latest one i was going to buy, seems to be messing around with private number plate change, and when i got a quote, the number plate came up as a different car altogether. but the guy said its was the original car it came off.

so have decided on this one now, and collecting sunday. your thoughts would be appreciated before i hand over the green stuff, is it worth, the guy is going to tax if for 6 months as well, it has full years MOT, and only a small rust spot on drivers doors, about inch square,, but will need a service when i get it, as its was around 5000 miles ago last service.

have a look guys..

Price compares well I think for year, and it does have a lowish millage (if correct)

Have you seen/driven the car?

Gut instinct should tell you if the millage is correct.

Try and get a second pair of eyes with you when you look at it.

Make sure the maniflod aint cracked and no strange knocking

Bottom end knocking, and look for manifoold crack in 2.2 petrol section, pics and info there by the bucket load

That noise cold quite possibly be the manifold crack tapping when the engine is cold, as it heats up the manifold expands and usually the noise goes away but not always, depends on the size of the crack, it can affect performance and fuel usage.

It is hard to spot unless you take the heat shield off then it will jump out at you, you cant miss it.

From what I can gather its a dealer only part, unless you get a custom made part, any effort to braize them ends in it only being a temp fix .
