I'm looking to buy a surf 2.4td in the not to distant future.Is there anything I should be aware of when checking it over for the first time and take it for a test drive etc.Thank you.
Also,is there anybody in the N.E.London/Essex area where I could see a surf that is 'straight' so I know what I'm looking at when I see it.In addition would anybody be willing to come and test drive/check the vehicle with me when the time comes it would be most appreciated,thanking you in anticipation.

On the same lines

Anyonee down in sunny Cornwall? I would also like to buy but don't really have a clue what to look out for. I am keeping my eye on Cornwall 4x4 in Falmouth, they seem to get a few in. I do need to sell my car first so I am in no immediate hurry but would also like some advice on what to look out for.
Cheers

Have a look on e-bay some fella was selling one with 44k on the clock for £3800.He also had a London phone number.......gentleman farmer probs?
