Anyway I have been here a year now and I think its a complete waste to leave it any longer, its in a dry garage just outside York (grandmas
) obviously no tax or MOT now. I have less worries about get back my investment now so just want it to go to a good home. A forum member did come and have a look at it and was ready to drive away with it (filled out the V5 the lot) but then noticed a phrase saying has been significantly damaged and repaired or something to that effect so backed out (fair enough really, I had no idea about that) anyway I believe it was the front wing in a car park bump. It really is a great car though. £600 would do it (that's half price), I'm back in England at Easter and again in June but if you want it any other time my brother is on hand to show and sell it (would be better for me that way, keeps the emotions at bay 
)Here is the post:
94 Turbo - grey half leather
Clean rear arches (no rust no repairs) and bodywork in general
good rear lights
very clean inside
50,000 miles
Robou ECU (the economical one)
Things that don't work or are broken;
-Speedo/odometer (mileage shows 45,000 miles and it died in the last year, i.e. since I had it I have not done 5000 miles so 50,000 is a high estimate)
-Seatbelt arms - both snapped
-info centre works however with the speedo not working there is no reading for ave speed or mpg, also the engine temp reads cold so you only really get a reliable reading of oil temp range and external temp, the rev counter works fine (at 2000 rpm in 3rd gear it does 30 mph, in 4th - 40 mph and in 5th - 50 mph so that's how I avoid speed traps)
-The drivers side foot well can get damp, not sure why, its not the heater matrix I believe that would be the passenger side and it blows hot.
-It idles a little high...hummm
Good points
-No leaks into the boot at all
-Heated seats work, electric mirrors, windows, sunroof all work as they should
-pop-ups work as they should, recently replaced off side brackets and have a spare set if near side goes
-new cam belt and tensioner
-just about a full service history (the guy I bought it from forgot to get his last stamp.....)
-very good Toyo proxies fitted to the front last year loads of tread left, the plan is to swap front and back and put two new of the same, I really like these tyres
-mint front indicator clusters (clear) rear lights very good one little crack on the offside, epoxied to stop any crack propagation
-DAB radio installed, this is very nice, bought it last summer, I have used an aerial converter rather than a stick on one, it is fitted at the back near the aerial so the reception is brilliant I have gone from west to east (Cumbria to Bridlington) and north to south (Newcastle to Isle of white) and it hasn't dropped signal for more than a ten second blip, it also has a USB port on the front and I have fitted a standard jack cable from the back of the head unit, under the centre console and into the arm rest for an mp3 player, phone Ipod etc
-All the dash is solid clearly not been removed, as this is my third 480 (all of which I have needed to get into) I am very picky about this and have checked all the screws and anchor points also the customary crack in the top left hand corner has been caught before it spreads too far again epoxy and I have trimmed the leather underneath so there is less stress in that region.
-ECU, have a look at some of the posts on here about the Robou modification, its very nice indeed.
I would like to recoup £1200 for it but would be open to sensible offers.
Cheers for reading I have been as detailed and as honest as I can but please feel free to ask questions.
Tom
