318 went through with a fine tooth comb...
Needs the following
Two Yoko 18's for the front
Rear subframe bush
leak on the gearbox
Window regulator/mechanism for left back window.
Could not see any sign's of water leaks, hoses from what I could see by just taking the front cover off actually very respectable and new.
Then there are some stupid fsckups shown by backyard mechanics, they obviously replaced the clutch cause it is silky smooth and grabs perfectly, but they forgot to put back a gearbox stud.
The plastic covers in the front of the car has scratches on them, which is clearly from putting them upside down and kicking them across the workshop floor for fun... it pisses me off....
Other then that, she is in damm nice condition, really really is....
DIS'd the car, usuall stuff, bulb out errors, its complaining about some aircon sensor that prevents the cabin from steaming up, cant remember what they called it, AUL or something, but I am not bothered about that.
What are service items on these like, disc and pads, what spec oil... I know NOTHING about the 4 pots.... hmmm learning curve here we come

LZ hope you get it...
Oil, I am running Shell helix Ultra 5w40 in mine (146000Km) & its going silky smooth..
As you always say, as long as the cars kept cool & oil kept fresh then they will last...
The 4cyl are good engines & will last if looked after..
