No such thing as a "quirk", just problems that people cba to fix.Perished o-ring won't be helping, could be a sign of other issues. Has it been run on anything other than white diesel at any point? How many miles is she on?
No idea what fuel its been on previous all i know is the guy i bought it off is a long time backyard mechanic and he's ok but a bit of a bodger and an old boy, he said it was his sisters and regularly ran to Scotland and back, well, let me tell you, if his sister ran around in that im a monkeys uncle, it has an aftermarket 'loud' exhaust, black alloys and it hasnt been looked after in the slightest and handles like it been ragged about (she had 2 sons) and the car was registered to some guy, so far its had;
New front disks, pads all round, new handbrake cable, nearside front ball joint, oil filter, performance air filter and fuel filter change, oil change, new plugs
Still to do is; drop links and, shock absorbers (my offside rear has collapsed just after MOT!) 4 new tyres, balance & tracking, gear box oil change and maybe coolant change but its not doing so bad atm
The oil that came out was like tar!
Once all thats done im turning my attention to the usual list of interior faults!
Incidently it looks like someone has been at the lp pump before, the rubber circle is covered in gaffa tape and the framework it sits on has been bent at the edges like someone with big hands was trying to get at the pump....
miles is just over 152k, whoever had it before me hasnt looked after it hence why it was only 200 quid!
