Your best place to look for info would be here

Although there is a few DC2 owners on here that will also answer your questions.

like has been said try the link great place loads of info....



but a bit to start you off would be....

1. make sure cars had regular oil changes.
2. cambelt should have been done at 60k.
3. shocks,bushes and clutch can all be getting tired about the same time.
4. check rear archs for rust normally drivers side.
5. check for usual accident damage, dodgy gaps and panels.
6. prone to trolley dings but very easily fixed, as is a saggy bumper front or rear.
7. sticky rear calipers again easy fix


that should get you going, great cars mate had mine a long time and no real trouble and cheap to run IMO but i never use a dealer a good specialist or any mechanic with half a brain cell will do.


good luck with the search. :wink:
