Thanks Tom.

This is a great thread. I keep telling, warning if you like, potential new owners not to fall in love with the first SVX they see, but to ensure they buy a good cared for vehicle.

Everything Tom said I would endorse, these are the things you must heed or risk spending big bucks when you thought you were home free.

I would even add another, regards ageing rubber. The vacuum pipes get hard and break or leak due to heat and the years, and even the wiring plastics can get brittle under the hood. These things are often the cause of erratic running on cars that are otherwise reliable and faultless when all systems are good.

Well said, dood. We could make this a sticky, bit I am thinking that a link to it in the How-To could be as good or maybe a better solution.
