For sale Turbo
I have decided to sell my white 480 Turbo .I cant believe I'm doing this but things change and I've got my MG to finish. If you look at my thread on Turbo passion you can see what went into it over a few years ...time and money . I don't want the earth for it as I would prefer it to go to a club member and be looked after .
It is taxed and is Mot'd until next March so no worries there .Its still in great condition but the arches need some attention ,not too bad though .
Roof and tailgate in working order and all interior returned to original spec .I have fitted an Alpine head unit with a ipod connector .
Had a problem with the valve above the oil separator but have resolved it with a non return valve and a T off to the turbo.
Did I mention it has a Rich mod although I cannot prove it .It boosts well to the end of the orange indicator and goes very well.
It does sound a bit tappy but Ive heard this is common but could be sorted.
Only other concern is the back box maybe due for a change but is not bad .
It still has the dark wheels and tinted windows .The tint can be removed if not to your taste .
Open to offers

Re: For sale Turbo
Hi Rachel , Yeah I'm going to regret this but it has to be done .
This is a cracking example so someone will get a lot of car . The rear lights are new so are the indicators ,clutch and timing belt. Open to any trial & inspection .In fact I would prefer someone to look at it. Still open to offers
Oh its also had two new front tyres and the tracking done.
More photos to follow when I can find my battery charger.

Re: For sale Turbo
You WILL regret it ... that's for sure
I would LOVE to give her a new home, but alas we have 3 cars as it is, and my partner says no, oh for a 2 car garage
I vote you keep her

Re: For sale Turbo
I was immediately/still am tempted, but probably shoudln't.
Out of interest :
1. How many miles has it done since the rebuild/refurb?
2. How many miles has the new engine got on it, do you know old the turbo/timing belt/water pump are?
3. Since the MG arrived, I guess it has been outside-does it leak?
4. Do you still have the original ECU such that the richmod could be removed?
5. Tappity tappity tappity....this sounds worrysome, can you expand at all (I don't really know much about potential causes/solutions)
6. How bad are the wheel arches (pictures maybe?), have they been repaired before?
7. I'm guessing everything is as lovelily cleaned/polished as it was when I saw it?!

Re: For sale Turbo
Hi Kev,
Just joined the 480 club because of your car. Do you have more info/pics or the ebay number, had a look but can't see it. Am looking for a good 480 turbo.
Cheers

Re: For sale Turbo
Hi Rachel,
Yer, I'll be around for a while if I find a decent turbo. Just sold my 850tdi estate and found the Volvo owners site very useful. Had her for 12 years, one owner, fvsh and low miles. Just bought XK8, which is great but I miss my Volvo. This site looks handy for spares and tech problems. Nice to meet you.

Re: For sale Turbo
Hi Kev,
Does the car have any previous history that you know, hpi, old mot's, service books etc ? Do all the numbers on the log book match ?
The arches don't look too bad, maybe just a fettle and paint.
I'm in Yorkshire, so not too far away.
Can you send me a pm with a phone number and we can have a chat.
Cheers

Re: For sale Turbo
Hi Kev, did the car sell? If not I am very interested but being in Inverness I'd need to look at travel arrangements some time in advance so an indication of status and price would be very useful.
Thanks, Donald
