With those wee details that you've picked up on, I'd pay for a proper HPI check rather than one of the mobile phone ones.


Cheers,

Thanks for that mate, never used a phone check before so be best to pay Ł20 for normal one!

No bother mate, I'm not sure if it was on here or not, but I remember reading about someone that used the phone HPI which told them it was clear but later on they discovered that it was actually a CAT D write off.

As I said, with the wee bits you've spotted and the slight doubt already, it will put your mind at ease to get a proper report done.


Cheers,
Grant

Get on the RSBB and go to the mk1 frs section. There's a list of known cars on there.
