  1. i know of a guy in rotorua who buys ok condition golfs and polos and cleans them up and sells them for a small profit and it was working well for ages and then he got his hands on a pug for a price that was too good and it turned out to have a fucked slushbox. after spending thosands to get it all fixed up he ended up selling it and not only losing money on it but also all the money he had made from the golfs and polos got lost on it aswell.

    game of chance.

  2. i would say that at fibreglass bonnet would be ok, but firbreglass guards could be a bit of a pain being that the orginals are spot welded on and also british cars arnt known for there quality fitment.

    not that aftermarket fibreglass or taiwanese steel guards are.

    there isnt a fullproof way that i know of but a compression test and cylinder leakage test would be a good place to start, also check the hoses and overflow bottle. if they look like they have been replaced reciently then ask why? maybe it had a cracked overflow bottle or burst hose at some time which my have cause it to overheat.

    check that there isnt any signs of leaking coolant from the radiator, thermostat housing, overflow bottle or radiator and check the coolant condition.

    and if it is a later model car with obd2 then check for old fault codes that could have been logged if it had overheated.

    also do some research into common faults wiith the vehicle, overheater might be one of them, like 1mz powered camrys that overheat at the first sign of trouble.
