With all my family and job issues of late my mate is beating me to 911 ownership!! (BOO HOO!!)
He is a mechanic but not clued up on 911's so will eventually get his potential purchase inspected by Chris Sanderson at Loe Bank Motors.
He knows I come on here so wants to know what the common faults / niggles to watch out for?
I mentioned top end rebuild around 90-100k norm, heat exchangers(??), hoses, seals on targas, is there a common water leak somewhere? Correct me & advise others please - this will come in handy for me 2!!
Oh yes & the yanks that bought our firm have almost shut it down now - deadline April. I start a new job on Monday so will get new co car - oh dear - 1.6 Astra :roll:
Drive Astra now but at least its the 2.2.
Silver lining I suppose is the 500 quid a month extra in my pay packet and my wife now has the 911 bug! Yeeeee Haaa!!!
