I don't really want to sell this, but i really don't have the time or funds to sort this in the foreseeable future.
I bought it Christmas 2010 with MOT until July and ran it daily until the July putting 10000 miles on it, it's reading 107k I think. Tax and MOT are out as of July 2011 and its sat in the garage since then.
I his minor rust bubbles on one rear arch and bottom of the drivers door, I also think its had a bump in the past at the front as its had welding on the inner arch on the drivers side, and the arch liners are missing.
I have new coilovers sitting in a box in the boot and poly rear trailing arm bushes waiting to go on. It also has quite rare wheels being BBS RC040's which were an option new and are narrow versions of the very popular style 5's. it's has new 205 40 Tyres all round waiting for when it gets lowered. Full black leather interior and Climate control. Needs gassing though.
Now for the reason I stopped using it, I think it needs a new engine fitting as it has good compression on 5 cylinders but nr 2 is down to 110 psi meaning more than likely Nikasil engine wear has killed the engine. It still starts and runs, but uses oil at most noticeable at high revs as you can see a bit of smoke, well a fair amount actually!
I always wanted to keep it but am looking to sell the house and may not find one with a garage to keep it in.
Any ideas ?!
