Thanks for the kind greetings all
It has 92K on the clock and has a full Honda service history, seems to be in rather good nick from my very limited knowledge. I had a bodyshop mate look it over and he gave it the all clear so hopefully it will last ok. Only thing I have slight concerns over is that it does not look like the clutch has ever been changed and from what i've read so far they aint the most reliable bits of kit. However it is not slipping (from what i can tell) so fingers crossed Anything you guys feel i should check? Thanks, Kam |

The dpf was an expensive optional extra so its highly unlikely you will have it. Whereabouts buddy im on doxford park?
