this is the car I have just agreed to buy on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320471518651
should I have concern about the tappet noise? im meant to collect today, is there anything else I need to look for?
thanks in advance :y

Looks decent in the ebay ad. pics.
Has the oil and filter been changed recently?
Use 10W40 Vauxhall semi synth.

apparantly its had a rebuild? so I would presume so.
im not going to buy it anyway, i just hpi'd it and the last owner change was 2005, I asked about this and he has no proof of ownership (v5) as I have close family in the police I couldnt do a deal without it, they would rip me a new arsehole.

you want post 1998 Elites, massive spec upgrades and updated engines :y (the 3.0 got a snooped plenum to aid breathing, and seem to remember it had a few other bits and peices compared to the older lump

I'd be worried that there was "tappet noise"; how old is that engine? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)
-
as above ive not bought it as it came to light after the auction that he hadnt got proof of ownership. found a few more now anyway :y
thanks for all your help :)

I agree with this, just fitted a vx filter and filled her up with vx 10W40 semi and the car runs quieter and smoother!!
