Another newbie...

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

The clicky rear axle thing is pretty easy to detect so you should be able to pick up on it. There is much discussion aboiut the fix at the moment. Bit of reading for you ;)

 

What year and spec are you buying. Post up a link to the add and we will give it a once over :D

Welcome, :welcome:

 

lots written on clicky axle, best way to tell is windows down have a wall or similar to sides if possible and pull away slowly keeping revs down then slow down again and pull away again much as you would in a multi-story car park.

 

If you have clicky then the sounds are a very metallic clink, I've tried recording them but it is hard to isolate from the exhaust sound on a recording, to start with the noise is a bit more of several little crackles (not unlike a breakfast cereal in rhythm) but say 4 or six then as it develops over time it becomes a much more distinct clink, say one or two then nothing which is why you need to do the slowing and pulling away to hear it.

 

If you are only used to Turbo'd cars you'll find the zed deceptive as it can just pile on the speed (right foot dependent), if you really want the shove in the back then FI only thing that does that, more than a few done it but read up on it before you take the plunge.

 

Enjoy forum and car.
