Common Problems List

Hi Guys

4 days to Go!!!
Am just wondering if anyone has put together a list of ‘Common’ problems with the GTO/GT all cars have em!
now… before you all chip in with things like .‘bank account leakage’, 'increased problems with taurets etc i mean the problems that could possible be avoided by checking them out periodically… think you know what i mean.
Over to you!

If you’ve 45 minuets to spare the buyers guide has loads in it

Main one unless there’s proof of a recent cambelt change with receipts etc , get it done , still no different to when you were here back in the day , it’s a ticking time bomb if unknown

Main difference to last time get underneath and check the floor pans for corrosion , wash out between the skirts and wings and blast the muck out of them get a decent underseal job done to help preserve it

Check your oil cooler joints on the hoses and also power steering joints where they go from flexi to hard pipes for weeps or leaks

Also clean out the front A pillars down the bottom of the front wings, crud really builds up here even though the cars have all that plastic trim under the arches. Open the doors and look down the front where the front wing goes down. That little cubby hole can cause a lot of damage.

cheers craig.
believe the cambelt has been done and receipt is available, also i think all the mots are there as well so browsing through advisories should reveal any ongoing issues

Cant wait to get back behind the wheel!
I will get some pics sorted next weekend
