Default Re: advice and feedback on FG F6 ute

Being 50,000kms, pads and rotors should be fine for the moment, they will be due to change in approx 10-20,000kms, this depends on how it was driven. If mostly highway kms, then can last a lot longer (best I have seen was 120,000kms unchanged from factory).
It might be worth getting the bushes checked and find out when it was last changed.

As for the work done on it, I would find out who it was tuned by,
what work was exactly carried out,
what power is it pushing, try and get a dyno sheet to see what boost it is running, how long ago these mods were carried out,
service books and check the intervals between service times,
check for your usual noises and rattles when test driving, also make sure the engine is cold (not driven for at least a few hours) before checking it out,
would be important to check the shaft play on the turbo and hear it from close when starting the car (just so it has a smooth sound to it, important to check this when you turn the car off and hear it turbo wind down also for approx 1min).
There is probably a lot more you can check but this would be your usual check. Go check it out and see how you, if you suspect anything or unsure of it, post away and we'll try and work it out.

Goodluck
