What to look out for when buying a 2002 plate 225 BAM.

[djarchive]

Firstly I own a 8L 225 BAM and wanted a heads up before my mate goes to buy one tomorrow.

Regretably this thread is relating to a LCR 225 BAM however... As you know they are similar engine wise (if not exactly the same apart from the Quatrro syst/ Interior)



Other then HPI check / listening to the engine on tick over / test driving it... What else is there to look for?



Note: 60K done plus FSH and reciepts for everything.

50/ 60k major service- What is there to be done/ replaced? Timing Belt? All oils inc Engine / Haldex? Water pump?




Any help is MUCH appr.


Thanks for your time,

Joe

Belt @ 60k or 5 years
Haldex every 40k??
Full documented service history, major service every 20k

Check engine bay for split hoses etc
Check if thermostat sits at 90
