    Anyone on here running on chip fat? Seems to be a bit of a science from what i read on the bio-fuel forums - i.e. preping the stuff, mixing, blending and what not- i suppose the biggest issue would be sourcing the stuff.

    Needs a lot of work to clean fully

    The engines are sh!te in them. At 150,000 Miles I would probably say by now its seen the best of its days. They have a tendancy to eat oil with high millage and suffer emission problems.

    Obviously, open to correction.

    There are plenty of good ones about, and plenty of bad ones (Obviously the bad ones are going to get more of a review than the good).

    You would quickly establish whether it's a good or a bad one. I got my brother in law a 00 one with 120,000 miles on it nearly two years ago, 150,000 and counting and bar a spark plug that failed (not the cars fault) it's absolutely perfect.

    @BorneTobyWilde - an overpriced E39 with cooling problems?

    A Freelander with the K-series engine?

    You some kind of masochist? :D

    (you are aware that any car you post up here must be a car that you actually would buy yourself?)

    Yup.

    That e39 is an over priced heap. Most likely cooked if it's been driven at all with those heating issues. Avoid like the plague.

    Always liked that Civic since they came out, pity they got such a bad name from the boy racers. If I was in the market for a small car I'd be straight round to look at that. A little bit of retro cool with a lot of reliability, cheap insurance too!

    Here's a nice looking 190E with the 1.8 and Auto, a nice cruiser for those not in a rush, buy it for little over a grand, drive for two years and sell it for the same money. Cars as clean as this will never go below €1000, I reckon they've reached the bottom of the market and the only other way they'll go is up.

    well spotted, wouldn't have a clue tbh not too handy with that stuff

    That 190E is a good find, looks better in black and a lot cleaner than the one I posted. Have always liked the look of those cars, would be nice as a weekend car with classic insurance, or even as a daily driver.

    Auto box = trouble... OK, you've nailed your colours to the mast, and we know where you're coming from.

    Are you for real? That automatic transmission can outlive the bodywork of the car, if properly maintained.

    Anyway, back to nomics with a surprisingly original example:

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/4612164

    Best engine in these, most economical and with a bit of poke.

    Check car registration info on that. Doesn't always have everything, but what's in it tends to be up to date. Good for checking tax and nct.
