I'm not sure I want to sell this, but I fancy a change. This car has been one of the most reliable cars I've had. I've owned it for almost a year and covered about 12,000 miles in it.
I've just changed the crank sensor (a right pain of a job!), and gave it a fresh oil and filter change (I do this every 6000 miles).
It's had new rear brake disks, pads and wheel bearings, and I've changed a couple of ABS sensors too.
It starts first time every time, and I'd drive this car anywhere and trust it to get me there. It's pretty good on fuel too (35mpg +).
It has a K&N air filter but is otherwise completely standard and unmolested. It has electric windows, central locking, factory immobiliser, electric sunroof.
A few points to mention:
Drivers side track rod end is worn and will need replacing before next MOT.
The airbag light is on - I've read that this is most likely the contactor ring which needs cleaning behind the steering wheel, but I haven't investigated.
The drivers side window regulator is broken so the window doesn't wind down. The drivers door has a slight scuff / dent low down so I was planning to get a replacement door in Dragon Green and solve the scuff and window winder problems in one go.
There is a slight blow in the exhaust although it passed the last MOT like it. It may also need an exhaust hanger as sometimes I hear a slight rattle.
There are a few rust bubbles here and there, on the front arches for example. There is a rust-free, Dragon Green front wing included in the price. Underneath the car is all nice and solid.
That's all I can think of! I've just put 6 months tax on the car although it isn't included in the price.
If you have any questions please just ask. I'm open to swaps / part exchanges too, try me.
