What to look out for when buying 2nd hand?
Hi, finally able to buy one of these, have wanted one for ages.

Any tips on common or not so common faults I should look out for?

Cheers
Andy

2nd, 3rd, 4th owner, whatever...get a compression test on the engine, so that you know the condition of the engine. A low compression engine means that the engine is weak and maybe needs to be replaced. Good luck with your search.
