Usual things really, pay special attention to contents of the oil filler cap and expansion tank, headgasket failures are quite common.

funny u should say that chris i had a look at the r5 gtt looked well nice drove good but the starter motor packed up before we done the deal Laughing Laughing i rung him up yesterday because he said it should be sorted but when i spoke to him he spring a water leak and the temp gauge was on the red and he did not know till he got home sorted that but caused the head gasket to go Rolling Eyes so i wont be swapping my ren 19 for that.so back to square one for another car Wink Wink
