Viewing a 182 tomorow

[Paddyhmfc]

Following on from my last thread i am going to havea peek at a car tomorow. My friend who is a mechanic is coming along to check the car is sound but is there anything i/he should pay close attention to on a 54 plate 182?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

i have a 54 reg 182, i just checked for obvious signs or wear on the car, asked for reciepts from services, tires, mot' and what have you.

the only prob i had with mine was the oxygen sensor, it didnt work properly so needed replacing.

Same here, seems to happen to all of them.

I'd personally only look at a car that had the following....

4 good quality matching (at least Axel matching) tyres,

FSH, including a cam/aux belt within the last 20k.

Standard suspension set up.

Brakes have plenty of meat on them.

All that work alone will cost £1000 should you buy one that needs it.

If all those are ok, then chances are its been well looked after and will serve you well.

It should feel tight and together if you know what I mean, mine felt sloppy when one shock went.
