Hi folks, new guy here. I put a deposit on a nice 2002 Doblo on Saturday (picking it up next weekend), so I've been devouring this forum since Saturday (giving myself eye-strain!) and I've become a bit concerned about a couple of things..
On my short test-drive, I noticed rather a lot of body roll when cornering. I put this down to soft tyres as the car has been standing on a garage forecout for a some time (the battery was dead too). However, I've just read a helpful post on here where the poster remarks on excessive roll being caused by knackered bump-stops on the rear suspension and that replacing them made the car feel like new. At this mileage (90k), are these likely to be the problem.. or could it be anti-roll bar bushes? Should I have the lot replaced? Could someone let me know how much these jobs might cost at a garage?
And as I'm unsure at the moment whether my Doblo has had a recent cambelt change, how much this job would cost?
The car is a 1.9 JTD ELX in very nice condition, with 90,000 miles (engine started immediately and sounded sweet) and I'm paying £2150. A fair price, do ya think?
Cheers
Steve.
