Hi from a Newbie

[gadgetgricey]

Morning all,

Just wanted to post a thread to say Hi.
Thinking about purchasing a 1.5 N16 Almera so wanted to join and check out the threads about what to look for.


Cheers

Dave

Make sure the gearbox is ok ie trying all gears,gear boxes can fail on the 1.5s Make sure there's no cam/crank codes as this could mean bigger problem such as chain stretch,any misfiring etc walk away.Chains are really prone for stretching on the qg15de and sometimes the qg18de engines.Only other common thing for failing is the Maf sensor.

As for rust, check the lower rad support section.
