Looking at a vRS on Sunday...

Featured Replies

Is there anything I need to look out for?

Am aware of leaky doors but if there's anything else then let me know :thumbup:. It's done 25,000 miles (05 plate) so the cambelt is not due a change for a while yet. I *think* it's never been remapped, which is good because (theoretically) there will be less wear on the clutch.

From the ad the car looks great but one thing that is putting me off is that there's a Snooper hard-wired into the dash. I have no use for the thing so would want to remove it, but that will mean dash holes! Is there a way to get these repaired i.e. what Chipsaway do to alloys?

Cheers, Owen.

shouldnt be any holes. Its just wired to run up to the windscreen. TBH, its prob worth keeping in this day and age, but if you wanted it removed, shouldnt be to hard.

Have a good look at the front suspension bushes (wisbone and console bushes) and the anti-roll bar, these are quite prone to failure giving a knocking sound from the front end.

Good luck hope it's a good one for you :thumbup:

Yeeeeeeeeeeeey I got it! No knocking over speed bumps, clutch was fine and carpets were dry. The xenons completely sold it to me!!! Even the engine was quieter than my mate's vRS?

I pick it up next weekend :D

Nice one my son, OEM Xenon's are the dog's
