My mate is looking to purchase an ST184 with only 70000km, the car is pristine apart from a funny noise it makes when you back off the throttle that sounds a lot like a soft BOV. It sounds as if it may be something rotating, perhaps a loose nut somewhere on the exhaust manifold. I really don't know what it could be. Compression is good, starts well and runs smoothly with plenty of pull.
Any ideas? I can't really describe the noise any better than that. this car has done 3000km per year since new.
