Hi, I'm James or usually gets shortened to Jay, my old car (vauxhall insignia) got hit going back into work in Jan, last week announced write off.

I was already in the process of buying the best, or so I hope RRS I could find within a set budget.

Is there anything I need to look.out for now I have one?, although probably a bit late 😆

She's 2011/61 plate, 65,113 miles, all previous mots to back it, all main dealer service history until the last 2 services.

Thanks

James.

I've got the petrol 4.2 V8 supercharged my advice is get a gearbox flush and keep on top of all maintenance and service every year and it should be ok 👍

According to the paperwork that came with the car differential oil and transmission oil was done at 38k / 2016


Worryingly I can't see any mention of belts being done 😆

From my quick play with the air suspension, it seems to go up and down, is there a normal of how long the pump should run for on playing with height settings ?

Thanks

James.

mine runs for about 30 seconds to a minute it depends on how often I raise and lower it

No great surprise the belts weren't done. Lots of people will look at the mileage and not the time limits when deciding on what to do to a vehicle.

I'd get the belts done, have the gearbox flushed and the diff's and transfer box oils changed too. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
