20v urq report..pretty long

[Dave Eaton]

excellent news - congratulations.

as you say, cambelt, idler and wp should be done.  thermo switch and
after-run pump always a good idea to check, (they both went on mine).  also
I have replaced the engine mounts (the old ones were fine btw), but these
probably only need a look.  also, did you check the codes?

wrt the engine mounts, the f/a doesn't show it, but the later engine mounts
still require the associated pieces on the exhaust side which the f/a shows
for the wr.  these comprise the large rubberised washer, the rubber cover
and the plastic sleeves for the m10 mounting bolts.  fyi.

hth,

Fellow listers,

[snip]
Now the seller originally wanted 12900 Euros for an original and non
accidented car...my friend spoke the price down over the phone to 11500
Euros and as I was there to tell everything that was wrong with the car, we
reduced it yet to 10150 Euros...not bad for the first 20v urq I had ever
seen in my whole life, huh??? :-) the seller didn't know, nor notice this!
So we have a little work to make it a good car, the owner won't be using it
as a daily-driver (that'd be a pity!) so we have plenty of time and nothing
to be hurried about. We'll do the timing belt/WP/idler roller pretty soon,
then take care of the caliper and of the rusty part of the rear-end. Nice
car to work on during the sunny sundays!

Sorry for being that long, I thought I had to inform you all that my street
now has 2 type 85q coupes in it, one of which being a 20v (RR) urq!
