help!!! 3.0 elite
29. Jul 2007 at 13:47
 
hi what a great site i had to join.    I am just about to purchace a 1996 3.0 elite saloon. and i would love to know if there are any things i should be looking at to make sure its a ok buy. the owner has told me that he has changed the cam belt himself? not a job i would like to do on my own. but dose anyone think this is a job that should be done on a diy bassis.   it also showing 125.000 miles which sounds right for car but i do know that he has broken omegas in the past and it wouldnt take him much to change the clocks. is there anything i could look at to see if that has been done.    cheers for anyone willing to help

Welcome to the forum Thumbs Up!

I would be wary of him saying he's changed the cam belt himself, ask to see the receipts for the parts.

Welcome to site Smiley

Ask him to produce receipt for bits, and ensure its full kit with tensioners.  It is easily DIY, but you need the locking kit.
