Well Tony tonight I took the car down to a mechanic I use ( he does hommers on the side) to have a look at my rear air bags and to give the car th once over to make sure I had not bought a heap.He was under the car said it was it really good condition for a 1996 car.Exhaust was new really clean undeneath ,said it aint been through any fields.Slight oil leak from under engine, possibly power steering fluid and mixture of engine oil but nothing to worry about ,he will check better in daylight when doing the bags at the weekend.He had a drive of it says auto box is dead smoothe and not engine noise.So all in all i'm happy .Oh he did say rear brake pipes need done but MOT aint due till Nov 2012 so no rush.So like you Tony I love driving it ( my other car is an 09 BMW 5 series ) and hope to have loadsa fun tinkering with it.170,000 miles on the clock and like the mechanic said many cars are scrapped at 1/3 of that millage.Ps I love this Forum
