Hello, please can you provide more details about the service history since the last stamp in 2012? Also is there any evidence of rod bearing issues, or have the rod bearings been changed?
Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your questions.

The rod bearings have not been done and there is no indication of them failing.

There is no stamps since my ownership because I have done all the work myself in my fathers professional garage - I‘m a mechanical engineer by day and have worked on a whole host of cars, mainly BMW & Audi, since I was a young lad.

Thanks
Tom

Cheers

Hi, any evidence of rust on the bodywork please? Do you know why it was resprayed? cheers Pete

Hi Peter,

There has been no signs of rust, this can also be seen in the pictures.

I initially had resprayed to fix stone chips on the front end and some road rash around front and rear tyres - I decided to have a full respray done (minus roof) to avoid any potential discrepancy between original and new paint, and because money was no object for me at the time.

Thanks
Tom
