8 Turbocharger / Supercharger Warning Lights? Traffic conditions did not allow adequate testing Final Check / Oil leaks Aforementioned leak Coolant leaks Summary: Body Work: The vehicles body work was in poor condition, this being due to the numerous scuffs, scratches and dents to the majority of body panels. Every panel has non factory paint work. The front bumper is cracked around the N/S headlight and is also scuffed, which there has been an attempt to fix this which appears to have been done by an aerosol can, this is also the same on the O/S of the rear bumper. There is moss in the rear light units indicating fluid ingress and the rear window seal has deteriorated and is all cracked. I have a serious concern with this vehicle due to the dusted paint finish in the boot area. This should match the body colour as this is done when the shell is painted in the factory. I do not have sufficient evidence to suggest the cause for this however this is one reason that I would not recommend this vehicle. Mechanical & Underside: The vehicle is beginning to suffer from underside corrosion which I have photographed; this may be treatable at this stage however it will worsen if ignored. The floor has also sustained some damage which is also corroding. The O/S/F tyre is wearing on the innermost edge and this is a serious suspension alignment issue causing the tyre to wear prematurely. This tyre will need replacement and the suspension and steering wheel aligned. The only real cause for this is hitting a kerb or pot hole with significant force which can cause damage to other components. Be aware that there may be a slightly bent suspension component causing this that is not visible to the naked eye. The clutch is very heavy for a hydraulic system, a number of components could be causing this and further diagnosis would be required. This is a notoriously expensive and problematic part on the 75 / ZT model. Interior: The vehicles interior was in below average condition. The O/S/F door card is loose and the O/S/R appears to have been removed, this handle is also not attached correctly. The rear seat folding mechanism is seized and will not fold down, it appears to be seized on the O/S and the N/S doesn't clip in correctly, which mean the back of the seat is loose. The wooden boot liner is warped and underneath this the floor is green, where as the car is black. There some other issues with the interior which have been detailed in the above report. 8 of 9

9 Paper Work: No history was presented with the vehicle and we would have to advise the vehicle is brought up to date on all service items. It is also worth considering that vehicles that have been neglected with lack of servicing tend to carry numerous faults as this one does and the vehicles life span will be reduced. With regards to you specific requests I cannot give information on the following: 1. Blocked Plenum This requires removal of some panels which we do not do as part of our inspection. There was however some leaves and organic debris in the scuttle which could have found its way to the drain whole. 2. Fuel Pump In Tank This requires the removal of parts to gain access and is not checked. Should this be inoperative you will get an EML light for Low fuel pressure. In comparison to other examples of this model I have seen this is poor and clearly has not been looked after very well. On top of this I cannot give a conclusive answer for the miss matched boot colour which gives serious concerns about the vehicles identity.
