mattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nice
Went to look at a 120

My current 120 has unfortunalty died, needs a new engine, front bearings and clutch.
So today I went to view a 52 plate, forgot how nice they were to drive!
Couple of questions though...

The coolant was just water, but it heated up quickly and the temp gauge stayed constant. Could this cause a problem later on?
The red paint was a little faded and flat in places, would a good wax and polish sort this?
The headlining had dropped at the back corners, is I easy to glue back in?
I'm sure that before I set off the oil was in the middle, when I got back, it was below the minimum line. Is that because it was warm?
Just the one key and fob which was very worn, hoping I can just swap over?
Only part history with no evidence of head gasket/cambelt changes
Clutch was high, but so is my current 120. Changed gear nicely though.

Positives, its just sailed through the MOT with no advisories, new tyres, stainless exhaust, piperX induction, AC worked, fantastic sound system and a well looked after interior. And its only on 82k for a 13 year old car.




Thanks
