Buying Guide

Post by Bean66 »

Hi All

Just a a quick question, I'm looking to buy a cheapo Streetwise as my daily driver after selling the Ztt a little while ago, but as i've never owned any R3 i was wondering if there was a buying guide to point out all of the usual R3 specific faults that there are?

Obvs fully aware of the head gasket issues on K series, but having owned a couple I’ve never had the issue so what specifically should i be on the outlook for as regards R3 model range specific faults, esp on a later 2004/05 Streetwise as I’m hoping to get a late one, ideally with the target trim.

Cheers Bean
