Run a live scan and upload the video to YouTube, post the link to the video here and after watching it, we'd tell you what's wrong.

By the way, what's your tyre size pressures on all corner?

Am about to buy a new car but was told it doesn't come with Ac, that I can fix AC to it manually. How possible is this?

I've a BMW e39 1997 (5 series model ) whose auto transmission is acting up. When gear is engaged in drive, engine must be revved above 3000rpm before it moves sluggishly but on engagement in reverse, it moves swiftly! Assist please.

Apologies for the late response.
Is it possible to get you what you need with an OBD 2 scanner?
And I now have CEL code P0138, which only appears whenever I drive in d rain. It goes off and on, at will. Tire pressure is even and within specs.

Hmmm if the owner is a truthful person he'll tell you. Otherwise, have it at the back of your mind, the 4 cylinder variants burn oil (american specs).

Fix the cause of that code. An O2 sensor is malfunctioning or its socket or wiring.

Do you have any other pending code? When last did you carry out a tune up on the engine? Is your tyre alignment (front and rear) within specs?

Go for it as long as its well maintained. They're good but ensure you have measures put in place to prevent theft of the car or cannibalism of that car.
