Bubbling is something many of the older ones will have now in some places, it is just something which happens to fibreglass. It doesn't mean the car is a bad one. Rusty wishbones are also normal. The front wishbone mount points need checking as galvanic corrosion can disolve the alumnium chassis around the bobins. It can be prevented by keeping something like ACF50 applied to that area. If it's bent there it's probably been in a crash. Small coolant leaks from the stock radiator are also common (you will be able to smell it when warm).
The short/later shape soft tops don't usually leak as they have a better design. Don't buy one without the soft top because they are hard to find and very expensive now!
Another thing to check on early cars is corrosion to the aluminium floor. Early cars had rubber mats fitted which trapped water under them, they should have been removed and any repairs made in a recall.
Great guide guys- learned a shed load of great info. Keep it up.
Best one yet haha loved it
Brilliant video on one of our cars! Can't wait to build our new business adventure together
Love it man, thankyou for the insane review!
Thanks Darren - Love the car!
Great video 👏
The colour makes this car look almost brand new!
Must agree Oskar - It's very fresh isnt it?
Really useful video👍
Great little guide car, I watch a lot of channels talking about the K series and all in all it's a cracking engine but one thing that keeps getting mentioned is do not follow the recommended service intervals bring them forward so ie if it was due every 10k then do it at 7k miles
Brilliant video I was buckled 🤣
01:25 - no, the radiator itself won't corrode, the steel parts holding the plastic sidepods to the aluminium core can corrode and make the radiator leak, so you will have to stop the car. And no, there are no radiators made from stainless steel, but full aluminium ones.
02:45 - best way to check is a CO-test (kits available very cheap)
How can you not subscribe with a skit like that...
LOL love it.
You need to check if the toe links have been replaced, it should be done...greetings from Italy
Darns okay sign at the end 😂
Another great video, who's garage is that btw!? 😍🍀
Not a Rangers supporter anyway!
Paint Osmosis - does that require a full re-spray or are we talking section repairs?
Love the comment about wearing it lol
No celtic tops were damaged in the making of this video....thankfully😁
Yeah, but isn't that car a protestant Rangers fan? I bet there's Wet Wet Wet on the CD player
Why does it look like a Hennessy venom gt spider
It does a bit doesn't it? As far as I know this particular car has a little bit of car park type damage at the front and the owner restored it a little differently.
Heater in my Elise is not working. What should I look at first?
Thermostat
Coolant level you may have an air lock or a blockage hea ter control broken.
Check thermostat,airlock in coolant pipes
That's an S3... It doesn't use a K Series, it's a Toyota power plant
It’s an s2 with modified front end
Nice car, laughable wall art🤣
IF YOU DONT WANT IT I WILL HAVE IT FOR FREE
30 thousand dollars over priced I think.
