I did a compression test (cold engine, dry) and the results were as follows
Cylinder 1 154 psi Cylinder 2 156 psi Cylinder 3 154 psi Cylinder 4 155 psi All good there. The spark plugs were also in good condition, light brown electrodes and no sign of problems. I plugged in my OBD scanner and ran a scan for faults - none found. All OBD tests were passed. Engine fan comes on at 96C and off again at 94C I've ordered some service items to do an engine oil and filter change, cambelt and waterpump change, new spark plugs. I put the car up on the ramp and had a good luck around underneath and found no major issues. Brake discs look like they have recently been changed and the shocks and springs all look in good condition. Wishbones and subframes had some surface rust as expected but resisted the hammer test. I took the car out for a bit more enthusiastic drive after the inspection and handling was good, and no nasty clonks from the suspension. Engine and gearbox were good. Took the car back to the garage to do a service on the engine. Completed the strip down ready for new seals, water pump, cambelt, oil and filter.
