Will have this for sale in the next few days. Bought a couple of months ago with the intention of it being my dog hauler. It was purchased with the advice of the steering being heavy and whilst is is not 100%, it works fine for everyday driving and did not cause a problem come mot.
What I was not told about was the broken compressor for rear suspension so this was all taken apart and given a freshen up and is now working a treat.
After this I put it in for an mot and it failed on an outside handle and washer pump. These were rectified, albeit it rather slowly and I went to put it back in for a test last week and as they put it on the brake tester, the radiator decided to let go. This is currently how it still sits although at some point this week I shall be fitting a radiator and putting it back through the mot.
Points to note:
Slightly heavier than normal steering
Does sometimes feel like it is holding back a little?
Headlights have lots of condensation and after taking them all apart to polish the lenses, I wont be doing it again
Few marks here and there
Rear wiper innop
Split tailgate switch innop
On the plus side, it has covered around 130K and the bodywork is what I would call in very good condition. it does have a couple of marks but pretty much zero rust and next to zero dents also.
Interior isnt in bad shape and has M tec steering wheel
Very large estate
2 keys
Working torch as some people think that that is still a big thing
To sum it up, it will be a cheap runabout/dog hauler/ work horse etc and with a years mot I think its priced very fair considering condition etc. Colour is Glacier green and I will upload pictures very shortly
