Going to see a williams this wk.

[Ali]

Can't actually wait. Looks a cracker, couple of wee bits and pieces to sort, but all in all, the best one i've found. And it's local too.

Here's a wee pic

Jon's given me a good list of things to look for. (Cheers for the help bud) But any of the mk1 lads care to add to the list.

Cheers

Ali

PMSl...*Cough* Dreamer. If you beat me i'll give you a biscuit.... (A soggy one)

 

[David_Jones]

Heres my advice GET A WILLIAMS 1. The plaque is where its at in cool town.

 

[vts_saxo]

Where is that located ali?

 

[Ali]

Aberdeen mate. Well Buckie to be precise.

 

[G_F]

Front and rear brake calipers binding
Noisy power steering pump
Knocking on lock, gaitors on CV and rack split because they are s**t

All of them are quite expensive things to sort.

Ive got the Williams technical guide and williams gearbox tech notes if you want them, pm me you email addy....

 

[Ali]

Pm'd and cheers for the advice.

 

[vts_saxo]

Check the underneath of the doors and boot for rust, whats the mileage/service history like?

 

[Ali]

98k, not too sure at history. Mild mods. Some stuff recently done. And we bit of rust on the tailgate. But i'm not to fussed about that. can be fixed at minimal costs.

The location is a boost...

No one ever says it, but check the engine is an F7r not an f7p. Also check itsa got a williams head, and not a valver one.

Taken from the RAC, will you be taking this to the scottish meet if you buy it?

 

[Ali]

Nope...Won't drive it till it's perfect.

 

[Ali]

No one ever says it, but check the engine is an F7r not an f7p. Also check itsa got a williams head, and not a valver one.

How can i tell that?!

 

[G_F]

>>>....Ignore me, i read it wrong....<<<

 

[Ali]

lol...Pardon?

 

[David_Jones]

How can i tell that?!

Let it hit the limiter. valver will be 7k+ willy less than 7K (clocks will be innacurate). Williams engine and GB wont do 60 in second.

Check the engine plate (under the airbox). Will say F7R. Little red tag

Check the gb number JB5 not JC3, look down at the box from behind the airbox area. Again a little metal tag.

Check the sump. Bigger on a williams. Although youd need a valver to compare it.

Check the oil dip stick colour. White on yellow for a willy.

Check it has an oil cooler (although not all williams did yet some valvers did)

Put it in 5th and cruise at 2k. If it pulls ok from there you can tell its an F7R. An f7p will die on its arse.

Might not get all of the above, but a combination of the above should confirm it. Best way is to get a receipt with F7R on it somwhere, then if it turns out not to be, you simply claim back in a small claims court.

 

[Ali]

^Spot on mate. Appreciate that.

 

[philthy]

should set up a scottish willy meet although mine is based in glasgow:S
