Im going to be buying my wife TT this week, probably an x or y reg maybe 02, can anybody tell me what the warning signs are, or things to watch out for.

Thanks in advance

Pretty reliable cars,the only weak areas are the electrics :

Coil packs, dash pods, coolant sensors, indicator relays are the usual things to go. I've had 3 of these 4 in 4 years of ownership (luckily not the dash pod!). Cost me around £100 for the lot though and that's all its cost other than tyres and servicing over this time.

Other than that the engines and bodywork are rock solid. Check out the suspension if its high mileage, bushes tend to go after a while. The word is that cambelts should be serviced earlier than recommended (maybe around 65k) and worth changing the water pump at the same time.
