The search for interesting stuff is a continuous cycle in my life , because the hunt is better then the catch.. But sometimes you find some adverts with cars photographed a million miles away, just a photo of a wheel or worse.. I saw this one this morning and thought, what were they thinking? Makes me smile though. So, have you guys seen one lately?  It says, volkswagen beetle in the advert ( in dutch ) |

There is a game for children with the task to find a person in a picture full of everything possible, I think it was something like "Where is Waldo?". Perhaps that's what the second seller had in mind?  |

This one! English isn't my first language, but i think it's difficult even for you guys, to tell what he means...  And the epic sentence : rolls forward when pushed.... |

I think he means, starts, but transmission problem, possibly clutch master cylinder.

Possibly, but highly unlikely. I recover lots of Trafic/Vivaro/Primastar vans with the clutch pedal on the floor. The concentric slave being the usual culprit. So, although the clutch assembly itself may well be in a usable state, the gearbox has to come out anyway to change the slave. I tell people I know that run one, to carry a small bottle of brake fluid in the van. Topping up and pumping the pedal will usually get them home. Not that it helps much with the fix, just saves the inconvenience of having to be recovered.
From the way the advert is written, I would guess it is one of our residents that doesn't have English as a first language. But his English is a hundred times better than my Romanian/Polish.
