INSPECTION of CAR for SALE

[LINDEN CAHILL]

MAJOR
Both rear springs broken - have been told they're Rimmer part no RKB000820 and available at 248.87/pair. I can't find them on Rimmer's website
Springs are different on the 75 than on the ZT. Sometimes up on ebay

Diff pinion oil seal needs replacing
Not really a problem, Linden can do that or Nick at Austing done a few

Engine management light is on - owner says has has been on all the time he's had car and understands it is due to LPG being fitted
Properly installed it shouldn't flag the management light (possibly running lean now)

Linden thought there was a misfire and possibly a coil needed replacing. Can't find coils on Rimmers - available??
Standard Ford V8 Coil Packs for the Mustang (www.rockauto.com or www.realsteel.co.uk)

MINOR/CONSUMABLES
Wheels ('star' alloys) need refurb - 60each seems to be usual cost
Front pads (don't know if/when disks have been replaced
Needs front tyres
n/s/f ball joint
twisted brake hose
loose headlamp, foglamp not working, brake light out
Normal good service to sort these out

As far as I know it hasn't has the heater valve and hose upgrade or the fuel pump clip fitted.
Should be done ASAP


Should I be concerned about major items which have not been repaired or replaced but which could fail in near future due to age/mileage?? :
Exhaust
coils
a/c compressor
fan motor
shock absorbers
front disks
Not more than with any other car


and finally, does LPG need servicing regularly? Owner has no service records for the system
Yes


Excluding the tyres probably between £700 - 1000 to sort out.
That will knock the price down a bit

exactly,
itold the owner of this car that it would cost around £1000 to put right,
depending on results of diagnostic scan,i was too busy that day to hook the car up.

Apart from the hassle and the long hours, it's great!!! Guess the problem is....no one told us this when we were sixteen?
