dannynic · Apr 12th, 2011, 08:29

I currently own a '57' V70 D5 and am looking at a 1995 T-5 GLE the weekend as a runabout any things I should be looking at in particular? Its got 141k on the clock but its only £850 so I can't expect to much just don't want no massive bills if poss. Any advice would be much appreciated, Thanks.

What to look for,

Smoking under acceleration black and blue

Smooth clutch / Auto change

Clonks from rear end and front

Rust corner lower back of front wings

Rear chassis rails corrosion

Boot floor corrosion

Oil in water vice versa

Rear main seal ie Oil leaks around bottom of gearbox

Clutch slippage

Tapping from top of engine.

Brake judder

Self leveling rear shocks Working?
