Things to look out for????

[_williams_]

one tip from me in my experience, make sure you give the car time to warm up before you make your mind, my 182 sounded mint when started but when it was warm it would tap its t**s off, turned out to be a f**ked dephaser expensive fix in the main dealers!

Thanks for the info guys

when you start the car hold the trip computer button (end of stalk) in and watch the dash light up, cycle through the info on the screen using the same button and if there's any fault codes stored it'll tell you, it'll also be the only time you see the speedo hit 160mph lol

Check for leaking shocks, I had loads go on mine. check for knocking on hard acceleration in 1st too.
