Hi there,

Had some good advice from you guys on an earlier thread. I've got another coop in my sights, this time one i've actually driven in Grantham.

Check Page 3 of the stocklist:
Linky

The car was very clean inside and had a good service history and amount of bills. There was some bubbling on the alloys and rust on part of the sunroof surround, otherwise the bodywork and interior were fine.

My main concern was that I didnt think the brakes compared well at all to another coupe I have driven. Also the service history doesnt mention a cam change, which was surprising because the bills and service history suggest it has been well maintained.

Any advice on the brakes? Is anyone in the area able to have a nose? I might go back in the week, but not if the brakes are potentially a major issue.

Cheers

Im in Lincoln, Dan.

I had a look at this a couple of weekends ago, but it was the first coop I'd sat in, so wasn't really sure what I was dealing with. Im away this weekend, so would need to go one afternoon as they shut at 5pm. Dont know if that works for you?

It is definitely best to see a few. Not fair to compare it to mine as its a different model but basic features should feel the same.
I'm off work for 2 weeks from today so whenever suits really.
