Hello all

I know its probably been covered on here a number of times, but could somebody point me to a link(s) with regards to a guide for what to look out for when buying a Furio/VTR/VTS?

Many thanks

Cambered axle is defo an mot fail, very dangerous to drive on and an expensive fix

noisy input shaft bearing. dip the clutch and if theres a change in sound (or even a new one) its gonna be a new gearbox.

ofc if it gets noisy with the clutch disengaged its the release bearing.

checkstraps have a habit of being shit
