Right, on Wednesday i drove my car into the back of a flatbed truck
because the sun blinded me and he had decided that 10 yards after a
blind bend was the best place to stick it. but anyhow not much i can
do about it now. Competely written off my motor (306 1.9d) although
giving it credit i managed to walk away from a 40 mph impact into a
flatbed truck to a dead stop and no broken bones.

Anyway i digress, I am looking to replace my car with a 306 d turbo
and have seen a couple of s/t reg's for sale at a local dealer.

When i go to have a look at them what kind of things should i be
looking at checking to try to determine if there are problems on the
horizon.

obviously the sound of starting the engine hot or cold is one but then
is there anything under the bonnet bodywork etc i can look at.

All ideas no matter how small they may seem would be greatly
appreciated.

cheers in advance
