Default S2 help wanted please!!!!

Hello people.

Do you remember Mungus from here......well he was selling the G plate S2 in white with the 17" Imolas????

Well I have a chance of buying that car 2moz from a guy in Manchester for Ł2700. Does anyone know much about the history of the car? Its on 110K miles with a full rebuild a few years back.

It does sound extremely tapperty at 3K RPM.....could the cam be on the way out? Also, the passenger side footwell is sopping wet, is this a bad sign?

What other things should I look for? From the outside it looks immaculate!

Stu
