I am off to look at a 2003 LC 4.2 Diesel Auto with 102000miles on the clock and a full service history.
I was wondering if there is a buyer’s guide with some tips or tricks to test the vehicle. What should I do or look out for?
Had the Steering wheel motor replaced, a common problem
Had the rear AC pipes repaired due to a leak, a common problem
All windows go up and down no problem
No shuddering when braking
Diffs work no problem
AHC works well
MOT expires 18/08/2011
Tax expires 31/08/2011 (registered 01/03/2003 and falls in the current £245 band)
4 new tyres (Dunlop GrandTrek) fitted 19/08/09 @ 89,673 miles
Last full service 26/04/10 @ 99,846 miles (all fluids I stated before, brake fluid also changed, advisory on front pads that have now been done)
Last work done 20/08/2010 @ 101,972 miles (air con fixed, steering rake motor, front pads)
Two advises - will need rear discs/pads at next service and drivers side calliper inner piston boot seal has a split.
How best to test the AHC and the Diffs?
