new to the coupe world :-) - 10/10/2011 15:42
hi i've just gone out and bought a 1996 coupe 20v turbo thats done 90k. The missus hates me now but it's so worth it. i'm in love with it!
car itself was in great condition - loads of history including receipts for the big belt changes. The only issue is the brakes. The previous owner changed them himself and they are fairly noisy when braking. also noticed they are grinding (more so when im turning right?)
going to take it to my local garage and get the brakes and disks checked over.
being a newbie i wanted some advice on the do's and dont's when having a coupe. i understand that oil is a biggie and that it uses a lot.
im worried that the clutch could be the next big thing to go. fingers crossed it won't. apparently the head gasket is pretty good on these cars.
any advise at all would be great especially because winter is coming up
thanks
