I was expecting to collect a 4.2 LSE this evening.
The vendor now tells me that it overheated at the weekend, possibly a blown pipe. Still overheating, and now thought to be a new thermostat.
I've read things about cracked blocks and blown head gaskets.
Assuming that the vehicle gets presented to me as 'fixed' and doesn;t overheat on a subsequent test drive, what else should I look for to ensure that I've not been sold a pup?!
(And how hard to I hit the vendor for lending 'my' car (deposit paid etc) to his brother to drag a caravan about the country!)
Up until this point I thought I found both a good car and a good bloke to buy from.
Regards
Mark
