BEWARE:

As previously mentioned I have been offered this car (Very Cheaply) a few times and out of interest went to view it today.

The car has a full service history up to April 2014 with Farnell's Bradford.

My first impression was that it had suffered water damage due to severely misted headlights and rust in the boot.

On getting back to the office I phone Farnell's to discuss car to see if its had been water damaged and they told me its was a PX sold to them as a "NON RUNNER" ! Failed engine relating to timing chain and piston defects.

This car is now being sold full RETAIL with "FMDSH" by a back street firm called "Oak Tree Motors" and as it seems to run OK if not a little harshly so somebody is going to get a nasty shock.

Its dealers like these guys that give the industry a bad name and HPI should include replacement engines/non runners etc.



AVOID THIS CAR:

^^^ LOL!

Thanks for the heads up Gaz

however, somewhere, someone must have worked on it since it now drives, right. Do you know what has been done to fix it?

not that I am interested in this particular one BUT it is always good to know how things can be fixed.
