New car Saturday! (if its all okay)

[ozonehostile]

I'd be looking very closely for symptoms of headgasket failure, the inefficiency of indirect injection makes these run pretty hot for a diesel so to say it never runs hot with no fans, unless it truly is all open road driving, then I'd be suspicious.

When you view it, leave the car running upto temperature, see if the heaters blow properly hot, if it takes forever then you possibly have a seized thermostat

Just be real careful looking over it, try not to get carried away with new car excitement as the sad truth is that these days it's hard to find a decent xud powered 306 as the majority have been ragged to near death over the last 15 years or so

The clutch must be quite bad if it's slipping with a standard turbo and lucas pump...
