A mate has just got himself a 2001 diesel and we are going round it checking for faults and what not.
He has over sensitive steering/weird steering thing going on, both front tyres are scrubbed inside which he thought was tracking and it might still be that, booked in for new tyres and tracking check early next week.
Now... we've jacked up the front nearside wheel, gearbox in park, handbrake on and using a long breaker bar (3 foot) on the hub nut, we cannot turn the wheel at all, in fact the offside tyre starts to spin on the tarmac as the full weight is not on it.
VC seized?

Gearbox need to be in neutral
 
The downpipe Flexi is rotted out, steering UJ is worn, map pipe rotten, one working key, but other than that quite good. Swivel balljoints look recent thank God:)

Rear brake lines probably shot then. And radius arm bushes.

No surprisingly, all new from the master back in copper.
It goes like stink compared to mine, no wiring anywhere that shouldn't be so I suspect it's been chipped or mine is fecked:D. New headliner too and a mint rear bumper and extensions. New mudflaps as well. No obvious signs of bodgery anywhere really. It's one of them there bore dows:rolleyes: but no idea what that's supposed to be, pauper seats , no headlamps wash, no fogs, no boot CD changer, sub woofer but does have body coloured bumperso_O

when i picked my second one it wasnt till i got home i realised how much was missing in spec compared to my springy one , manual seats not electric , no sub or cd changer , thought the dse would of been higher spec than the dt
 
It has one control for the seats, up and down, all other adjustments are manual but it does have cup holders, no steering wheel radio controls but does have cruise.

is kind of annoying as i plan to keep the green dse as my daily but its very basic compared to my black springy one which i plan to use as a offroad toy and make it a bit more capable than it already is, but i certainly prefer the options in the black one ( decent stereo , buttons for the seats ,cup holder etc ) which the green one has none of :(
