- ✓Inspect the rear axle beam, brake lines and sill ends underneath, because many cars look fine until you get below them.
- ✓Engine-management faults on these cars are often wiring or ECU related, so do not wave away warning lights as “just a sensor”.
- ✓A simple 1.6 petrol with honest history is usually easier to live with than a bargain diesel or modified SRi with deferred maintenance.
