rocket Unregistered R	Well after a lot of searching I've finally found and bought my first coupe It's just a 20v to start with to see how things go http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn271/rocket15516v/utf-8BSU1HMDAxMjQtMjAxMDA1MjItMTUxN.jpg It was a bit of a steal really but then mileage is high but is supported with some SH. Cam sensor is being replaced tomorrow along with the belts and water pump. Just one other issue to sort and that is the rad fan is on all the time at the moment. When she was on the diagnostic for the cam sensor issue there was also a temp sensor fault so I'm guessing this is related to the fan being on all the time. Will be on the road for the weekend Last edited by rocket; 24/05/2010 19:16.

There is a bit of lacquer separation on the bonnet in places, some paint missing from the front bumper and a small scuff on the rear quarter but not too bad for a 97 car.
