G reg, 92K on the clock.
small dent on passenger side behind door, over the arch.
Interior in pretty good condition
runs well
Sun roof, info center, aux. gauges i.e. boost, oil press. volts. (u get the idea)
Slight glitch with front fogs, when on it turns on hte left side indicators. Everything else seems fine.

Sadly no MOT (should be ok though) or tax and i cant afford to keep her, hence y i am selling her

I will buy one again in a year or so but my current runner needs some attention as well and its cheaper to fix that cars problem.

Fareham, Hampshire, UK.

Â£225 ono.

Looks like a lovely motor. Nasty dent tho! I really would like to buy it but have just bought parts to sort my new black one (spent Â£160!). If this had been advertised about a week ago I think I would have probably reconsidered buying exhaust and brakes for my current car and sold my current car!

.....the car is great for what I paid. Got him down to Â£125 and it is in pretty good nick. No rust (well...a little on the dent), good paintwork and everything works apart from heated seats. Took it down the road (private) and boosted well into the yellow/almost red.

A few rattles under the bonnet and I believe i have a air leak(any advice?) but all in all very happy. Power steering is quite slow to come alive but after its warmed up its fine( gonna give the fluid a flush). Someone has fitted a tshhhhhhhhhh dumpvalve though. happens when i take my foot off the throttle so will be changing it for teh standard material when I suss out where things are on the engine!

The front bumper needs a respray as paint is flaking away and also thebottom half of it has been sprayed in paris blue(previous guy tried to fis it but they gave him the wrong paint!).

Also has rear speaker bins (mwhahahaha) and volvo mudflaps!

Get in! Happy days...now i better start reading up on how a turbo engine works...(understand principles but not every component it passes through!)

I'm off to spool the turbo up ...(swoosh, swoosh, swoooooooooooooosh!

)

I will of course look after her! Already sourcing all the parts it needs.

I found out it is an aftermarket DV. Found teh original bosche valve in the rear cubby hole. Gonna try and replace the shiny silver one back to standard!
