Buying Tips for 2009 Talbot Express
- Inspect the windscreen surround, front scuttle panel, door steps, and lower sills with a magnet and torch: cab corrosion is the primary cause of structural MOT failure on Express motorhomes.
- Check gearbox oil levels via the dedicated top dipstick before purchase: fifth gear sits high in an external end-casing and strips teeth if run low on oil.
- Test for excessive engine rocking when accelerating and shifting: degraded rear engine mounts shift the shift linkage geometry and cause the gear lever to strike the dashboard.
