engine mounts/gear box mount the car will vibrate hard when you accelerate in first gear, rear shock because they can pop so the fluid leaks out and just to be sure check the spare wheel to see if its had a hammering because i didnt and when i took the spare wheel out it looked like it had been used round the nurburgring lol not sure about any thing else but those was the problems i had with mine mate

Check all the project threads as theres loads of ph1's in there. They seem to be a reliable car from what this sites opinion is. If i had to buy a sport it would be a Phase 1.
Personally i always take a pressure tester down (with every car as it saved me from buying a mini with no piston rings), check tyre wear, as said condition of suspension, and possible signs of a previous accident. Make sure you give it a long test drive

They don't have a fanbelt. It's electric and transverse engined. They only have a timing belt and accessory belt.
The squeaking is normally the belt tensioners.

Timing or accessory belt, the squeaking is the tensioners, not the belt itself... normally.

Do you really think a seller would let you remove their inlet mani and preform a compression test?? ha ha ha. Its not like you can just wip the inlet mani off that easy! I would tell you to get lost.
