So I picked her up yesterday. Blue, 2004, 231ps with only 14k miles.
No mechanical issues. Only complaint is a whine coming from the rear speakers where they are picking up the alternator and non adjustable fans and air-con. Totally in love with her.

If a whine from the speakers is the only issue you've got, you have a good one :thumleft:

Photots -> viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35968

I'm confused by "non adjustable fans and air-con" ?
Has the car been fitted with an aftermarket radio?
