Rear axle,check for any play and view wheels from back to check they are not cambered caused by failing bushes.Having said that a replacement axle is only £350 so don't let it put you off what is a very enjoyable car.I personnaly own a Xsara VTS which is basically the same car underneath and for a blend of power,economy comfort and fun anything with xu10 engine and 306/Xsara chassis is bargain basement fun.
I'll not be using it for commuting. Bar the odd supermarket 2 miles each way it'll be 20 miles minimum on A roads.
Went to see it last night. Lovely interior, very few squeaks and rattles, engine sounds sweet. FULL service history, mostly main dealer. 3 previous owners, goes like stink and makes a lovely noise. Oh, and the aircon does work.
Downsides are a few parking dings and stone chips and the odd bubble that I can easily get after.
I'm giving him a deposit tonight!
Thanks all for the advice.

Well what reg is it?
If it has frosted headlights and the rub-strips down the sides are more square-edged then it's likely a phase 2 and will be Nile Blue. These stopped in 1998 I believe, so anything V-plate onwards should be China Blue (but stranger things have happened...)
