Noble - buying advice

[Moonhawk]

I am considering buying a 2002 M12 GTO that I have my eye on. I found the article below on "things to look out for" - but was wondering if any PH owners have any other advice for a Noble newbie

Also - in general how reliable are they? I owned a Lotus Elan M100 previously and didnt find is as bad as the people who said "Loads of trouble usually serious" made them out to be.

Cheers

That Evo article was actually written by myself an Obes on here quite some time ago.

To be honest searching on this forum using the PH search tool (which is actually Google) is going to give you loads of information.

That's a pretty accurate write up. To re-iterate, if you're after a M12, look for one with the updated ECU and LSD as without them, you could be faced with a huge bill.

Thanks - i'll collate this information and go and check this car out.

How can you check its got an updated ECU? is there an obvious way?, where is the ECu located, to look.

ECU originally fitted under rear clam. Not easy to see but if you look directly behind the drivers seat look down and to the right it should be down at the bottom on the right hand side. There should be a makers plate on it.
