Mileage: 54,000
MOT: None
Location: Lewes, East Sussex
Contact details: PM (will supply phone number on request)
I've been meaning to advertise this for ages, and now it really needs to go ASAP.
It's in tidy condition generally, I've not been underneath but would be surprised if there are any major issues lurking.
The MOT's expired and it won't pass another without work to the brakes at least. They were advisories on the last MOT and while they do stop the car, they're really juddery and awful. I can't take it for a test to see what it needs unfortunately, as the insurance has also expired. Other issues include:
- The gearbox. This is the main thing, it started making a rumbling noise when reversing at certain angles but it has slowly got worse and affects most gears now. It has been suggested that this might be a failed engine mount causing the bearbox to be misaligned. It might well be, but assume the worst and you might be pleasantly surprised.
- Speedo is also intermittent (and has gone from 'sometimes not working' to 'rarely working' - possibly related to the gearbox issue)
- Exhaust vibration.
- The passenger door electric window doesn't work. The motor seems to work as you can hear it, but the glass stays shut.
- The paint on the nose cone and passenger front wing is a slightly different shade. This looks really obvious in some pictures but in real life is not actually very noticeable.
- Dents in each rear corner between the bumper and the lights. Also the lights are cracked and faded etc. The bit of parcel tape covers a hole.
It's not all bad though:
- The engine (2.0 NA - Renault engine) seems good, and it has a brand new alternator.
- Mileage is low (about 54k).
- The CEM (computer thing) works although the display is a bit dim
- The interior and wheels are good; and
- It has a load cover and also rigid plastic floor and boot 'mats', which are apparently quite unusual.
It has a boot full of used spares with it, mainly electrical and a few small trim bits.
It's in LEWES, EAST SUSSEX
It has now been standing for a few months, the battery and at least one tyre is flat. I wouldn't recommend trying to drive it home.
The catalytic converter was replaced in March 2014, under 2000 miles ago.
The car was last serviced (oil, filters and plugs) in July 2014, about 800 miles ago.
