Yes the oil leak is my obvious concern. Just trying to work out if i can guide this clickmechanic (Unfortunately i am not great/ confident with cars). I live on the Scottish Highlands .... the choice north of the border since i have been looking has been pretty poor .... bordering on non existent .... you guys bearing south have far more choice so unfortunately it will likely be a flight and a drive back If you could give me a few lines what to relate to the clickmechanic would be most appreciated. |

And thanks gents .... really appreciate any info you can give ...... I will be using your technical knowledge and wisdom to guide my hand on this.
I noted the clickmechanic has a "diagnostic" option so thinking if i can get them to do a few key tasks that you guys can recommend and then he does the full inspection check below then maybe i have given myself a decent chance? Includes: 143-point mechanical and structural inspection Road test Vehicle report emailed to you Full interior, bodywork and paint inspection Free phone consultation with the mechanic afterwards Vehicle raised to conduct more thorough inspections Plug-in diagnostic check Photos included in the report View our checklist Interior compartment Door locking Boot/tailgate lock Door seals & hinges Interior sills Illuminating lights Seat upholstery Seat mechanism (front seats) Steering wheel adjustment Rear view mirror condition Cigarette lighter Headlining Visors Carpets Sunroof condition Rear parcel shelf Rear luggage area condition Tool kit Electrical/controls Headlights Side light/running lights Indicators/hazard lights Rear lights/number plate lights Stop lights Reverse/fog lights Auxiliary lights Panel lights Switches/controls (Condition & Operation) Instrument/controls function Horn Windows/sunroof operation Wipers/washers Headlamp washer/headlamp wiper Electric/manual mirrors operation CD / Radio operation Battery voltage Road test Starting system/ignition lock Warning lights Cold starting Fast idle (cold) Noise level (cold) Excess fumes/smoke Engine - noise level Engine - general performance Overheating evidence Turbo/super charger operation & noise Battery charging system Hand/parking brake operation Footbrake operation Gearbox operation/noise level Clutch operation Accelerator Pedal Operation Instrument/controls function General steering/handling Road holding/stability Suspension noise Cruise control Steering wheel alignment Steering effort Four wheel drive operation Suspension ride height level operation Air con operation Final drive operation/noise level Engine compartment Bonnet catch Bonnet hinges General cleanliness of engine bay Coolant/antifreeze level Coolant leaks Radiator / expansion bottle cap Hoses/pipes Engine oil level Drive belts (visible damage) Water pump operation Power steering fluid level Clutch fluid level Brake fluid level Engine mountings Fuel Injection Leak Off Pipe Condition (if visible) External leaks Wheels and tyres Front right tyre Front left tyre Rear right tyre Rear left tyre Spare wheel condition Alloy wheel condition (if applicable) Body exterior Glass Door locks/operation Fuel filler cover/petrol cap Body damage Past repairs evident Corrosion Paint work Bumper & number plates Mud flaps Front suspension, brakes & steering Wheels hubs/bearings Discs/pads (visual check) Brake pipes/hoses (where visible) Road springs Shock absorbers (condition/leaks) Bump stops/gaiters Suspension arms/mountings Suspension arms/fixings Tie bars/anti roll bars Location rod/fixings Bushes Steering joints/ball joints Steering rack Power steering Rear suspension & brakes Wheels hubs/bearings Discs/pads (visual check) Brake pipes/hoses (if visible) Road springs Shock absorbers (condition/leaks) Bump stops/gaiters Suspension arms/mountings Suspension arms/fixings Tie bars/anti roll bars Bushes Brake hydraulics Master cylinder security (if accessible) Fluid leaks Servo/power system Flexible hoses Pipes/connections Clutch and transmission Fluid/oil leaks Hydraulic system Linkage wear (manual) Casings Mountings Drive shaft assemblies Sliding joints (if visible) Slave cylinder gaiter/boot (manual) Propshaft(s) Bearings Clutch pedal/cable adjustment Underside condition Chassis members Sub frames/mountings Corrosion - floor/chassis Corrosion protection Engine underside leakage Fuel system Tank fixings Fuel lines Breather pipes Evidence of leaks Exhaust system Operation System condition |

I would get the AA / RAC to check any car over, if you don't have a friendly mechanic nearby who can help.
Clickmechanic? Who's he? What recourse does he offer if the car you buy turns out to be a dud? |

Your best bet will be to pay someone on here with VIDA DICE to read all the logged fault code and have a look over.
The auto box is sold as sealed for life which is not really right. If you change the fluid yourself it’s sub 100 quid. Budget 300 for a garage and it will need doing. The haldex init will also need fluid change. £40 quid if you do it yourself, 100 if someone else does it. The aux belt and tensioner need to be done at 54k. If the belt or tensioner fails, and they are known to, then you will likely destroy the engine. With cambelt, idler and tensioner about 250 yourself, maybe 600 or so at a garage. If you can work on cars you can work on the xc90, it is one of the simplest cars I have ever worked on and parts are not too expensive. It’s onlt when you start going to dealers. The electrical module (stereo/headset thing, not sure of proper name), that’s 1k if it breaks. HID lights are costly if broken, bush’s, drop links and engine mounts etc will need checking, at 100k they will likely be past it. Again cheap if you do it yourself, costly if you pay a garage. |
