what to look out for when buying a vtr?:afro:

[Leo]

first make sure its not a metro. na, id guess general stuff like gearbox feels good n stuff

[sean_rae]

just ask loads of question aske to see the service history when the timing belt was last changed ect ect!

[Recovery]

Push the clutch down a couple of times, make sure there is no grinding, or if it feels too tight or too loose..

[abu]

check for erratic idle ,temp, whiny noises

[Robbo]

take it for a test drive and if anything click's, clunk's or snaps or besically makes any funny noises check it out!

thats just french cars for you tho mate they all do that !

[speedyvtr]

yea the best thing to do is take it for a test drive and anything that dosnt sound right check it.

if your going to spend alot i would get it checked by the AA. if your a member you will get a discount. if not its about £80 but its worth it if your going to spend alot.

hope it helps mate.

check the pedals for wear if its only done 30k and the peddels grip has worn away then it might of been clocked check the raditor water make sure no rust in the water ect push down on the front end and make sure it springs back up so the suppession isnt fecked, check spare tyre,jack ect also when test driving it go threw all the gears ect and reverse it aswell to make sure its all ok

If you open the drivers door and it falls off, try not to buy the car...

[CampDavid]

if its been lowered get it up to some speed on a bumpy road and nail the brakes. If it tramlines like fuck then the suspension will need sorting

lmao :fcuk:

suspension shocks etc (press down and it should bounce back up straight away, if it bounces about then there fucked) , ask if its been modified in any way, just take it on a test drive thats the best way, or if your not confident enough get a hpi check and get the RAC ao AA to check it over

[Steve]

have any of you had any major problems? does the rocker cover rust badly?

When you take it for a test drive, park it in a different postition from where you left it. Then if it has an oil leak you will be able to see.
