nice car

[Sonia406]

Thanks again Doggy. Ok, smashing the dpf filter seems very easy. Have a friend with a garage so no probs there. How will the car run after?

Exactly the same, except no more FAP issues

Whats happens to the dpf fluid and electrics for the dpf, does all the dpf software need removing?

Once it's disabled in software, the car just behaves as if none of it ever existed

What map is yours running? Eco or performance? Really looking for a decent 2.2 hdi.

Economy's about the same, but it's much quicker.

I sometimes miss my Diesels but reading your comments about DPF's .. I am learning to think I am much better off without a diesel

Right guys, please read this and dont bid!!!!!

I have spoke a few times to the seller via e bay and placed a few bids. I have been out bid again by a dodgy e bay member.

1) Car is not registered at the owners address
2) Cambelt has not been changed
3) Original clutch, flywheel

Alll things he has forgot to mention in the ad now dodgy bidding, feedback x 1.

Tbh iwouidnt of bid on it after looking at the listing properly
the chaps (loud) advertising is a put off
and also iwouidnt touch anything with barge pole thats comefrom the wirral,

the silver trim on the boot floor is or apears to be screwed down too, you can notice the silver screws if you squint

Just goes to show LOOKS can be deceiving.

That being said, old bangers with cosmetic damage usually are the ones to just keep running time after time.............

Never judge a cover by it's book............ or as you lot would say, a book by it's cover

Seems to have had another bid retraction! If you look at the metal (stainless) boot trim there are holes drilled in it where something has been screwed to it,bit strange.

if you squint you will see the tiny silver Self tappers. (Bodged)

[grasmere59]

I'm squinting but can't see the screws just the 8 holes where the screws used to be

Must be my eyes then lol,

[grasmere59]

Or mine!

Must be a Wirral security feature,

everything has to be nailed down over there, the owner might be totaly honest and is simply protecting his property,
the superglue on the dust caps couid be a bit of a Biatch for the new owner,


And Behold the Massive price drop Wtf?.
ibet afew members on here where having a sneaky bid on that,

[waue1978]

I can see the holes. They're definitely extra holes that have been drilled into the silver trim at the back end although I can't think of what would have been fitted. Original clutch needn't be a problem as Doggy's lasted well, but on a car with a towbar I'd say it could be close. Especially as the seller has hidden it in all the pics so that you don't see if it's a twin electric one that tows a house on wheels 6 times a year.

Cambelt is definitely due for a change though & I reckon he got the quote through & decided to get rid.

The second electrics only runs the fridge, even small caravans have those... And technically a caravan is a house on wheels.

Having just fitted a cam belt, twice, to a 2.2 its nothing to be frightened of, easily done in a couple of hours. most annoying bit is having to undo the right engine mount to get the plastic cowl off... great design that... apart from that access is nice and easy.. provided you have the lock out bars

holes are weird... thankfully i dont need to bid as i am back on the road! yay! how i missed my arm chair on wheels

[Doggy]

So it made £2567 - anyone know of it's a genuine sale?

Will we be hearing from the new owner??

Isn't that a bit OTT?
I know it's an exec but really? 2.5k?
