just the usual stuff you would do when checking a car over

[saxoash]

things to check for are:


4 wheels
a steering wheel
4 brake disks
windscreen
ohh and dotn for get an engine lol


na m8 sorry bout that lol.

take it for a test drive and check theres no knocking when accelorating round sharp corners

[Rosco906]

just wondering what the serious problems that are common!

[gordy]

yeh just really a knocking sound when you turn and the usual stuff.
You wont have to check for rust or anything

Get an hpi check done on it before you agree to buy it

[JamieB]

what is a hpi check???

[VTaaRon]

history check police check and insurance claims check i think it stands for? check its starts well im having probs with mine starting check where the cars parked for oils spots signs of leaking change in paint colour incase of damage repair and rust oh yeah get someone to stand behind it when you turn it on to check the smoke from exhaust

The best thing since sliced bread that's what they are.

[RIBstaff]

certainly is

[Daniel_VTR]

where you get them from??

[mike_obuk]

when you go for the test drive - let the car run for a while and check that it idles properly. in addition to the usual checks.

[Gav]

look at the front of the head c if there is any oil leeking from the gasget. it might need a new 1. if its a garage ya gettin it from get them to change it before you buy it.
