What to look for in a R27?

[PaulBag]

I am hopefully going to see a R27 tomorrow or Monday and I was wondering if anyone on here have had any problems with them or know what I should look out for?

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Front pads seize in the calipers - pedal feels s**t/car doesn't stop very well
play in steering arms (needs jack up to check)
rear brakes stick on/squeak occasionally - normal

It will kangaroo when cold for a min or two, all do this.

Make sure the gearbox is sweet ABOVE 5k rpm, particularly 3rd to 4th. If not, it usually means bad syncro's = expense

That's fantastic! Thanks for the help.

Crunching into 2nd or 3rd- usually means its on its way out-
