first Reg March 89 in the deep south has lived across the water a number of years and also on the outskirts of Glasgow
117,000 miles last 5k in the hands of recent owner over 6 years
Good history file had struts,discs, pads, shoes, handbrake cables, wishbone, and clutch in last 30k recently had sills but looks very well done and inners look ok
On 16" cups with ok looking bridgestones. has a momo steering wheel but i'll swap my nice one over. Everything worked Got a non standard exhaust, sounds nice, interior clean and tidy no dash cracks etc all in all a nice S2 but got to wait a week till i can tax and insure it then will collect so more pictures to follow.
Down side - he recently put a scratch in nearside front corner, bumper and wing where they meet but we ajusted the price somewhat in my favour.
collected new car today, nice drive home up loch lomond side and through glencoe followed by a nice run up the southside of loch ness, did the first half in the company of friend in his 993. Enjoyed the run despite the wet weather.
New car seems to drive nicely, couple of minor issues, not sure about heater, seems a bit all or nothing? clues guys? and the volt meter packed up on way up, checked getting a charge and its not a problem with the alternator. again any ideas?

That's a stunning bit of road, I envy you having it within striking distance of your front door. Doing it in a well-sorted 944 has to be one of life's better pleasures!
Heater - can't help. Are the control flaps moving as they should?
Voltmeter - check the cabling (most likely point of failure) and the meter (put a 9v battery across it). It can't be hard to diagnose, it's just a matter of methodical troubleshooting.

Hi Oli
yes its a great peace of road when its clear, been up and down to glasgow on the A82 5 times in last couple of months in my white car, an enjoyable drive unlike the A9 that is just a slog. mind you camera van is very active on the 82 these days
The volt meter has started working again, one of these will it wont it faults i might have to live with for a while.
found another thread re heater that might help.
thanks for the pointer anyway.
