MrRoper Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Well, after getting some great advice from here, I decided to go against the grain and take a punt on a car with a few minor issues. Picked her up last night and I am already in love with my red head. I cant wait for the weekend so I can get the bucket and sponge out and we can get intimate! Hi to everyone, and thanks to everyone that replied to my thread in the general forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRoper Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Looks nice enough What are the niggles? It needs an drivers side window motor, and the CEL was on when i viewed it, code was an O2 sensor, so i will replace this if it re-appears. Apart from that it needs new boot struts at some point and a good clean and polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I could do with a passenger window motor lol. I bought mine with niggles, I suppose as long as your happy with all the 'main' components etc & the price you paid then all is fine. Oh, ditch the sponge for a wash mitt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Replaced my passenger side motor before Crimbo. Very easy to do. I think I might have put some photo's on my thread. Got the bits from ZManAlex on here. Top bloke. Become his best friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Mcgoo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Congrats on the purchase. Does it have decats or HFC fitted? O2 sensor fault is very common and 99% nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRoper Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Dont worry guys, bucket and sponge was just a figure of speech!! she will be getting the following treatment if the weather holds out Wash Clay Bar Wash Prima Amigo Glaze DODO Juice Orange crush Wax DODO acrylic spritz sealant She has done 45k and has a full service history.The exhaust is stock infact i think the whole car is. Also, I have already ordered the Motor for the window from Alex. I think the first response to my initial post said to PM him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Try the coin trick before replacing boot struts. Do a search on here for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) I'd try taking the window motor apart first and giving it a clean out. May well fix the issue, I think there's a destruction manual on here somewhere. Edit: Just seen you've ordered a new one.
