Hey ya,
Im a chick into her cars, dream job to be formula one driver.
Bought 2000 VR4 Legnum Manual. My family all worried and sent me via email the report from the dog and lemon guide.. They trying to tell me i have bought a lemon. Doubt I can get out of the finance deal now... if I can please let me know the in's and outs because I think i am going to have major problems. had it 2 weeks.
i need to know what the following problems are so i dont get jipped by dealer!
Noticed clunking/ticking sound in front right of engine. possible gearbox because it goes away when i put the clutch in.
Brake pads sound like they need doing because they have that scraping sound when I apply them, even after they have warmed up!
engine has stalled twice when i have been at lights or going down ramp in carpark (I HAD THE CLUTCH IN I NOT THAT BLONDE)
Its done 82000kms how often are the cambelts done on these things? are they pricey? was thinking if i cant get out of the deal to try my luck with getting them to do this too!
after the car was parked for 3 days at a mates over a weekend the car was dead. no life what so ever! put jumperleads on and it slowly slowly started to charge not enough guts to start it though. Had some power cords that had been chopped off they seemed to put enough voltage through to start the car...... dealers swears black and blue it was a new battery. I think personally they are full of it and even if it was new they should know better than to put a teeny weeny battery with a big arse engine!
They have picked up the car today and given me a loan car. I need as much feedback and advise as soon as possible please..
TA BOYS.
