Hey guys, its the novice asking questions again, sorry.
right, i'm looking into buying a 90. I've been reading various posts on here and am a little unsure of a few things.
Firstly, I was looking at getting an automatic but have read posts where people mention the head cracking usually after roughly 100,000 miles. Is this very common in auto's?? Does it happen in both auto's and manuals?? Is it expensive to repair??
Secondly, since reading about the head cracking in the auto's, ive looked at a few manuals. I've found one that i'm going to have a look at, it looks reasonable and its at a price i can afford. Its got 170,000 miles on the clock. Having this many miles on the clock, i'm a bit concerned at what might need attention, not work, etc, etc.
Seeing as you guys are the experts compared to me, can you guys give me some advice and guidance??
Cheers
Chris
