360 GLT buyer's guide

Hi all, been away from the 300 scene for some time. I'm going to have a look at a 360 GLT and was wondering if there is a buyer's guide on here on elsewhere on the internet. What are the major factors to consider whilst looking for a decent GLT. Thanks very much

Looking for a 360glt

You might have read that my 340 is now dead. Is sad but now i'm on the lookout for a 360GLT. I'm having real trouble finding one up here (Manchester). Also, what do i have to look out for when buying one?

b200 for unleaded, right?

how much more fuel do they consume than a 340 1.4?

thanks

i'll have to scrap it!!!!!!!

don't think anyone will want it, the guy at the garage said it might never drive the same again even if the tried to fix it!

haven't even got the space to keep it for spares, going to save the wheels and then have it scrapped.

It's a sad day.

i have a 340 which was also difficult to steer and pulled heavily to the left, i just put up with it. But when i had a new set of tyres fitted it was perfect, i could could even take corners using one hand. Was pretty expensive though £130.

Stereo

I've got a 340 and have quite a powerful stereo system. Does anyone know if it would do any damage to run it without have the engine running?
if so, how long could i run it for? i've heard it can damage your ignition coil, is this true?

Thanks, Rick

340 lock barrel help.

Last night i went to open the boot, only to find that the lock barrel had gone missing. Think it must have come loose and fallen out, no sign of tampering because nothing stolen. Does anyone know how i could get a new one? or even lock it down so no-one can get in? Thanks, Rick
