Hello all.
Just been and bought a x reg scenic 1.6 rxe.
93k miles FSH
one owner
£2200 plus the wifes battered 12 yr old micra with 110k on the clock.:d
I could not see much wrong with the car and the garage is doing a cam belt, full mot and six months tax.
However i have read some stories on here of head gasket failure that have got me worried. I did check the oil filler cap for any signs of emulsified oil but could not see any and i also had the top off the coolant expanion bottle to smell for any oil etc but i think it was ok. Took the car for a test drive and the coolant level had gone from min to just under max, no signs of any being spat out from what i could see.
Hopefully i have made a good purchase.
Picking it up at the weekend.
