Hi there,
We are looking at buying a '94 3.0 litre diesel Surf in order to undertake a large overland expedition.
The one we are interested in seems very good, but the seller (on the phone) said that there is a rattle from the rear when the vehicle is idling: Any ideas what this is!?! My sister had a fiesta that made that sort of noise but it turned out to be totally inoccuous (was just the heat shield fallen on top of the silencer) but I don't know if this could be something significantly more serious.
It has done 143,000 miles.
We would have to travel a large distance to view it and it would be a waste to go that far and find out that the rattle is actually a major problem. (Talk of worn UJs somewhere on this forum I think...?)
Any help/advice much appreciated.
Thanks
