my mate is looking at buying one and is seeing one tomorrow, any things that he should look out for?
anyone know much about the cars, i.e. if there ragged to shit etc...
this one he is looking at has 51000 miles so is that a decent sum, and its an R reg!
thanks

Mine had that milage when i sold it mate.Pics in me garage.
It might not have the half leather interior and won't have white clocks.
My engine sounded well rough but don't worry about that.Just check the cambelt's been done and it's been serviced.
Suspension knocking is another one..dented panels also..

Check the idle, revs going up and down. Problem with sensors and pug can never find the fucked one(s).
Great little cars, much better than the Saxo VTR and VTS.

No as they are the same god damn freaking cars FFS 
just listen for tappets on cold start up, check all electrics work, listen to PAS check if its whiney as they have a habbit of detroying racks. Also when entering the millage you are looking at the engine becomes quite noisy so just watch out for one thats have been trashed.

i think its the same case with most cars somepeople have bad experiences and some have no probs at all.
To my knowledge all the people i have known that have owned one had reliablilty issues each one different i.e one had electrical probs, one had two gear boxes and one of them had to replace a clutch at 30K miles...so its luc of the draw i guess?
