just got one yesterday as it goes, bloody great thing to drive, although traction control is a little keen, but given the weather quite essential lol!
nothing unusual to look for though, smokey engine would be the first, on and off boost.
bushes and bearings as usual, oh an egr valves going faulty and causing engine to stall when coming on boost as i found with one test drive.
other than that nothing out of the ordinary really for any car that i found anyhow.
looking for remap now though in next week
130bhp is alright and pulls well, but i need more and finding a good 150 bhp model was impossible.
that said i got 48mpg and driving between 80 and 120mph bringing it back home.
