RSE was a option

Nice car.
On your test drive, check every single button.
Test the air suspension in every mode.



Use the service diagnostic menu, check your voltages so you know you've no alternator, battery, electrical issues.

Get proof all the bits have been serviced and replaced at the 7yr service, no receipt no proof.

It realistically should have receipts for decent money, in the region of £5k, anything less and it's either a death trap, waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting fool, or a mechanic that's done all the work himself.

If it's got rear entertainment, check that it plays, ejects, no error messages, these aren't hugely expensive to remedy, just a pain in the arse if it's not working.

Sorry to go on, but, it's an expensive car to repair, better to just buy a good one.

Any questions feel free to ask.

thanks for the link and info guys, test drive this morning

anyone know the car


tony

Looks nice. Doesn't look to have been messed about with.
Not sure on those exhausts though..

Few more after reading spec.
Check headlights dance on start up, they should cycle to find correct position, park it near a wall and turn Ignition on.
Press down on wing mirror lever, mirrors should fold in, ignitin on or off.
In diagnostic mode, check all software updates are up to date, and no error messages.

Good luck.hope it's as good as it looks.

Thanks mate, that's the appeal I can put my own stamp on it.




Here's my full fat td6

Very nice indeed.

Update, took it for a test drive and wow what a machine , the performance is amazing, did all the checks it's had a lot of work done recently, belts etc can't remember most of it as there was so much to read but the bill was £1200, all in all very impressed.


So I've bought it

Get it tomorrow

What I need now is some window tints for the back, I'm in Middlesbrough is anyone can recommend someone

Not sure what belts were done because the Supercharge is chain driven so no cam belt. Maybe power steering pump and alternator? But congratulations on your you car. You will not be disappointed.  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

A quick pic, mods to start straight away
