Description
13 service stamps and 2 more completed at home, last oil and filter change at 123919 miles along with diff oils, fuel filter, air filter - previous service included gearbox oil and filter, transfer case oil and a new front prop. 2 of the MOT advisory items have been completed. All of the injectors and seals have been replaced at various points over the last 18 months.
Over all a great car! It is over 20 years old so there are age related marks on the vehicle. CD, tape player and radio work, along with the steering wheel controls (including cruise control). The sticker in the windscreen is a Crit-Air sticker for use in France (it stays with the vehicle so if you are like me and fancy a trip over there you are already covered!)
It has already been treated for the common transfer case switch fault and has a 'retro-fitted' alternative to provide the same effect for driving off-road as well as on road. The repair seconds as a form of anti-theft should it be required.
The tyres all have 6-7mm on them and are about 2 years old. The air-con is ICE COLD. 2 sets of keys. Everything works as it should except for the following: driver side mirror does not auto-fold (but does manually), the steering gets heavy from time to time, the plastic engine cover has a crack in it, the rear window glass gas struts do not stay up, it could benefit from new brake pads in the near future.
The bad bits: the roof needs some attention - it does not leak but has obviously had a chemical or something on it at some point and peeled back some paint work. There is a dink/dent on the rear bumper but this does not affect the operation of the parking sensors. After the engine is switched off the HVAC system makes a somewhat entertaining noise resembling that of breaking wind - it operates perfectly as it should it just makes a strange and funny noise after use.
All in all it has been an excellent car and I wouldn't hesitate to jump in it and go to the south of France again tomorrow! More pictures are available (I just need a nice enough day to wash it for more external photos). If you want to see anything specific then please ask and I will do my best.
