Buying a 2006 RRS, anything to look out for?
Discussion
I got one a couple of years ago, slightly older on a 55 plate.
There are lots of common issues! Here goes!
Rear upper tail gate switch rots and stops working- check that works.
front ARB fail regularly, Drive over a speed bump and listen for cluncks.
batteries and alternators- check the correct battery is fitted.
air compressor- check is rises and lowers quickly ish and sits level at all sttings.
Check for black smoke on acceleration- this can be EGR valves, turbo hoses or split intercooler.
wheel bearings, brake discs and pads.
Check for service history- it won't stop things going wrong but at least you'll know it's been looked after.
If it has a sunroof check for leaks
Checks dodgy aftermarket alloys for cracks.
Get a decent warranty- would highly recommend warranty Direct
