All done now. Thanks for your help guys. Looking forward to getting it tomorrow now.

Really happy with it. Under 99000 miles, interior perfect, no dents/rust on the bodywork. Good price I think at £1400.

What is the deal with the wood panel effect though around the stereo! Hate it. Anyone on here changed there's? If so where did you get the new stuff from?

Just spray it. I did mine silver like anni style and looks good. Doesn't take long and makes it look 10x better  :smiley:

Picked the car up today. Drives good and is in very good condition.

The only niggle I have is after being on the motorway for about 40 minutes and going on to normal roads, I noticed a whining kind of sound when pulling up at roundabouts and generally when coming to a stop.

Any ideas?

Wheel bearing perhaps?

Other people might suggest this also, so you'll get suggestions after my post has been deleted.

Think it was just the wheel pressure. As just been out again, the tyres were all at 18, so since then, not heard any noise at all.

All in all though, is a very nice car, pulls very well. Took it to about 105mph on the M56 on the way home, as did not want to push to hard yet.

What kind of top end speed can you get from it?

As for the wood effect, I actually like it. Looks a lot nicer in the flesh :)
