    Slight update.
    I took it out again after talking with the finance people.
    Haven't put pen to paper but it's definitely not going to be a head decision, hearts already sold

    A bonus would be if the transmission sump has a steel sump meaning it has had the oil replaced.When driving slowly over any bumps any knocking in the front end also any movement fore & aft in the front wheel when braking, even gently....both indicate control arm bushes[1st to go is the lower rear one] worn.Could try Rovertech in Bentley or Lifestyle in Morley for pre purchase check.Good luck!

    Thanks eddy.
    Didn't feel any knocking or slip over those daft plastic speed bumps.

    Cheers

    Sorry that was meant to be a quote...

    Check to see if it still has the older hitachi compressor. It it does you might be up for a replacement AMK in your ownership - anywhere from $1,000 - $2000 depending where you source one and who puts it in.

    If you plan to keep it long term at some stage you will also need new complete struts as they will wear out.
