I did write a long-winded advert with an explanation of the Miller cycle, but when I tried to post it I got an error message with some bo11ox about a suspected forgery or something and lost it all, so if you're interested you can look it up on Wikipedia.
Mazda Xedos 9, MoT April 2014, no tax. Was the top of the Mazda range in its day and as such is pretty well equipped, with full leather, electric windows, roof and seats, climate, cruise and traction controls etc. It's a 4-speed auto with a 2.3 supercharged Miller cycle V6.

Mostly in fairly good condition for its year, but having lived in London it does have its share of scuffs, the worst being a scratch to the nearside rear door ending on the front of the rear wing. Alloys are odd front to rear but tyres are all OK.
Faults: The climate control is stuck on 22 degrees - great for the winter, but in the summer you just have to turn it off completely and open the windows and roof. Engine sometimes missfires at low revs under load - I think it's overdue a change of plugs, a common thing with transverse V6s as the rear bank is a bit of a pain to get at. And the brakes judder slightly - I suspect it would benefit from new front discs.
It's in NE Norfolk and I'm after £400 for it.
