Default £900 S type

Bought Jan 15 with minimal MOT but after some elbow grease passed with no problems has just failed the next one. Broken front spring. However as quoted £175 for pair up front fitted it lives to fight another year. It's run pretty much faultless all year so can't complain.

Cheers

Andy

Hi John

Yes, buying at this price there is always a chance of ending up with a dog. I have the start of the mysterious invisible minor coolant leak which could be the expansion tank. I did have the CEL come on one night a few weeks ago. Car was running fine so I guessed it might be O2 sensor. Read code next day and sure enough had slow response from one of the sensors. Cleared the code and went for a good motorway run and it has not reappeared.

Been kucky so far!

Andy
