jamesmark Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 All the screws and metal ties are rusted, but they are prone to rust. Where the suspension is is rusted. Have you checked all the previous MOT certs? any service etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaRkYbOy72 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Its been in the country for 2 years and been serviced every 6 months. Its weird because another pic of the same engine bay shows no signs of rust (could it be the flash ?!) The owner said that there is a little bubble appearing on the bottom part under the rear window where the water collects but nothing else. Look at this pic of the same engine bay: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 TBH you really can't tell alot about the state of the engine from looking at a pic of the bay. A little bit of elbow grease can make a duffer look too good IYSWIM. As others have said, some of the pipe couplers can be prone to rust, but to really judge its condition you're going to have to look at it in person. If you have any concerns, then look at another, the market, unfortunately is awash with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaRkYbOy72 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yes, youre right. Gonna get some Plast x or whatever from Halfrauds. Hopefully that will take most the yellow off ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
