Hi from West yorkshire!


Recommended Posts

Same checks as for any other car, however, having just bought mine, the 2 problems I've got are:

 

1) The Bose sub cutting out / popping

2) 2nd and 6th gear are "crunchy" and grind a bit

 

Bose sub is an easy £3 fix which I'm currently waiting on a replacement part for so I can get it sorted.

 

2nd / 6th grinding I'm not too sure on, I read some stuff saying it's common, but I dunno how much of an issue it is.

Welcome mate! I'm a newbie from West Yorkshire too..

 

Stereo is a big thing that can be a pain, but can be replaced.

 

Check the oils as some burn a little, more so on the later models.

 

Service historys a big thing but you'll know that. Depending on mileage make sure it's had a major service recently with all the oils (engine, gearbox, diff).

 

 

Finally.. Check those rear arches for rust or bodywork. The rear arches are a bad spot for rust, and are the only part of the car that is prone to it and can't be changed easily.

 

Hope this helps.
