Does anyone know anything about/had dealings with Braehead Motors in Glasgow?

I'm thinking of popping over from Dundee to take a look at a car and wondered if anyone knows anything about the garage or had any dealings with them?

I tried to PM T5 but got cold-shouldered by the system for being a noob:hidesbehindsofa:

Any advice gratefully accepted as always.

If you ask the mods they will sort it out for you.

Not personally but all of the basic points apply:

Go through the service history
Check ALL the electricals
Check the tyre tread depth (and brand)
Check the oil for smeg (if it's a Focus/T5 - split liners)
watch out for clonks over speedbumps (gubbed bushes)
Watch out for vibration under load or at high revs (DMF going south)

What's the motor your looking at ?
