First has the benefit of the Milltek if you're thinking of upgrading the exhaust but you need to find out if the oil seals have been done and what state the coolant lines are in. The second one has a nice spec bar the aluminium trim (in my humble opinion of course).

[huntersmob]

yes I like the blue also

so are the oil seals, coolant pipes and the suspension pipes the main problems

[IanH755]

Oil seals and Coolant pipes are the main issues but the car are getting to an age now where rust/corrosion etc are starting to cause issues. The DRC struts are extremely reliable, it's the flexible hoses from the car to the strut (which is also the connection point when re-gassing) which are starting to fail due to corrosion, but this is in very limited numbers to be fair.

Lots and lots of info on here about the seals and coolant lines etc

[huntersmob]

so what are the average costs for
1 the coolant pipes
2 the oil pump seal
3 the drc recharge etc

[rtd]

1 & 2 £2300 labour pipes are around £300

[huntersmob]

is that 2300 for both 1 and 2 or each ?

[rtd]

If you did together I reckon you could get both jobs done within that labour charge - if you did separately same cost

[huntersmob]

good to know if one has not been done

[IanH755]

DRC regass at Unit20 is under £200 IIRC (have a figure of £175 in my head but can't be 100% sure thats right).

The one at asm is lighy on spec, and is leaking from the rear seal
