Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

Right

Fault finding.

Obviously being a 21 year old car it will have some.

Being French adds another dimension

So none of these affect its actual performance.

Paint…… being that it is possibly a fragile type of metallic it has faded a bit on the top surfaces.

On the bonnet/hood there are two “spots” of lacquer fail.





Next small thing.

Parking ding.

PDR job



One wheel missing a chunk.





Upholstery is leather.

Drivers seat is rough as a rough thing.

Needs repair or a replacement.









Lastly

@nickwheeler also noticed this driving behind me.

Hangers are present but rear box swings around madly.

Also not central to the exit an some clunking on potholes.

I will try sort that too.





LASTLY.



Booked the little toad in at my local garage for a genuine Peugeot cambelt and waterpump replacement on 20 December.

£360.00 plus tax.

Not cheap but I feel it a worthy investment as the service history becomes a mystery from 45k miles in 2007.
And it is on 103k miles now.

Lets hope it’s a worthy investment.
