That has been why its taken me so long, reading some horror stories and reliability issues, but thought if I don't do it now, I never will, I tried to be as thorough as possible with checks and hopefully I have a good one, they all can't be bad.

A Big THANKS for the welcome, I'm sure there will be questions, once I've got it, over the last year I have learnt so much from the forum and you guys, hopefully I'll only have to ask about minor issues.

Good choice that's like mine! Yes they do have 'issues' but don't let it ruin the experience they are awesome.
One drive of the beast home and the worries disappear. Oh one thing when you hear a BONG it will be the time of year you've bought it! It's warning you it's 4 degrees lol Thumbs Up

I will add more pics when I pick her up, she's got the ivory interior with automatic sidesteps and dvd/game console in the rear, only issues to be sorted are side steps are sticking which will hopefully be sorted before I pick up, also some scuffing to drivers seat and inner door handle , not sure whether to get a repair kit and have ago myself or take to a leather repair specialist for full respray, decisions, decisions.
