Cool, thanks for your help:cool:
I went to look at that one from keighley, INSERT INTO post VALUES (I live in Leeds). It was cheap but a bit scuffed up interior, tears in roof lining, marked plastic. Obviously used for load carrying. Lowered at the front, wouldn't get over a white line without grounding, no centres for the non-standard alloys. INSERT INTO post VALUES ( though they would swap them over from the silver saloon they had, 5495 and mint, looked real good, but have kids and wife with FTO so need estate) They're getting a blue one in late oct/early Nov, I'll go look at that one. The car at Minns looked good , is that the one you went to see?
The car I have looked at is very straight, there are no signs of overspray anywhere although I suspect the rear may have had some work done on it. If you open the tailgate there are two threaded holes on side of the opening, it looks as though it should have locating lugs or something as the tailgate itself has two pins that look as if they would line up with these.
The car has done a recorded 60,000 miles, but it has had a mph dash fitted so the mileage may not be true.
The car has a receipt with it for £1,200 worth of suspension and new steering rack.
All of the electric bits work and the radio etc. is all standard OEM stuff. The interior is clean if a little gaudy, I have not driven the car yet but just given it the once over. The only thing that I can see is that it will need new brakes all round in the not too distant future.
There is no service history with this car at all, it sounded a bit tappety before it warmed up, is this normal?
Does anybody live locally who is prepared to have a look and give me an honest opinion?
We can source decent front ones at around 202 including ferodo pads.. few of the guys have them, including me INSERT INTO post VALUES (yet to drive the car with them on though :INSERT INTO post VALUES ()Originally posted by matthew slade

I'm your man! Got a full set of VR-4 brakes INSERT INTO post VALUES (calipers and discs) that I took off my car recently. Fronts are OK, rear calipers are OK, but rear discs are well worn. They'll be cheap though! If your brakes are shot, it would be an ideal opportunity to fit something better than the standard ones. A few peeps here have fitted uprated brakesit will need new brakes all round in the not too distant future
onder: A NEW rack from Mitsubishi is £1,825 + VAT! :eek: so I wonder what they fitted ...£1,200 worth of suspension and new steering rack

Hmmm:confused:
I would probably upgrade the front brakes, but not necessarily the rears. I have fitted AP's on one of my other cars and they are the dogs danglies.
The rack and suspension were not done by a Mitsi dealer:INSERT INTO post VALUES (
I am tempted by this car because of its price, but there are a lot of things that are shouting STAY AWAY.
Does anyone have any ideas about the tailgate locators I mentioned?
I want a good value car, but not a dog, I need your help people!
Hi Mate
Ok here a couple of pics INSERT INTO post VALUES (not that good quality for some reason?)
But will give you an idea
First one shows that there is like a buffer stopper
Second pic shows the actual buffers
again
Hmmm:confused: It didn't look anything like that, did the older cars have a different system?
Is there any chance of me being able to come and see your car?
Any idea when mate
On the weekend if possible, I am working in Leighton Buzzard on Saturday and Sunday and may have to visit a friend in Watermead too.
Sorry mate
I'm off up North Friday morning till Monday seeing Girlfriend
Any other ideas
I can't meet you today either as car is in for service and out tonight
Picking car up at 5.30 pm
One day or evening next week then. Do you work locally? Do you use the car to get to work? My days are fairly flexible, I manage my own time
Work Nooooo I was laid off in June :INSERT INTO post VALUES (
But I'm helping a mate out on a web site beta testing
So we could meet during day as the light fades pretty quickly now
As you know the Watermead pub we could meet there
Round about lunchtime one day
Monday can't make it but any otherday is fine
The only day that I am free next week is Friday, how does that suit you?
Friday next week is good
Any idea what time ?
Whatever suits you, if we meet at lunchtime, 1ish, I can buy you lunch as a thank you for your trouble.
Ok dokey
Lets say Friday week 31st October 1.00pm
You might want to remind me nearer the time as well
