I don't quite see that, since there is no mention of "1.9 on logbook" or photos of the engine bay?

The fact theres no pictures of the actual diesel engine is one of the reasons I think its a genuine S6. If he took photos of an S6 engine bay and then advertised it as Tdiddlyi - would that not be implicating himself?

Perhaps I just think its nuts to go to the trouble of replacing an S6 (or M3) engine with a bottom of the range diesel engine. Seems more likely to just be a straightforward fiddle for roadtax.

Does make sense, but I have seen some crimes against cars in this country against nice cars involving diesel lumps...

Also, Tdiddlyi.

Surely it would have cost him a lot less to buy a 320cd? Unless he's planning on returning it to standard some day. Either way it's a waste.

That was my first thought; same as with the Audi. Sell M3, buy 320d, tart it up to look like an M3. Got to be cheaper overall than buying an engine to put into the M3 and destroying any value that it has.

Unfortunately he didn't do that as it still has the brakes, vents, and exhausts the m3 has.

To me its clearly a genuine S6 (with S6 engine & running gear) with a RF111 form signed to claim a switch to a 1.9 diesel (for road tax purposes).

Can't see how that would possibly work. When it came to NCT time the thing would be tested on emmissions based on diesel figures - no way they're going to match the exhaust fumes from an S6 engine.

I'm infuriated at an S6 ending up like that :mad: I'm old enough to remember the horrors of 4.6 Range Rovers or Merc S classes mutilated with Nissan diesels. Some even had Transit engines..... Just soul crushing to hear

Thankfully, not old enough to know the horrors of BMC 1.5 converted Zephyrs and Zodiacs :eek:

Twas the RS6 only came with the auto/tip box. The S6 had a manual 6 speed or option of an auto/tip.

i'd be inclined to believe that vento advert, even if the owner is illiterate. young lads do have a tenancy to spunk much more than a cars worth at it.

if you look closely at the vento the front bumper doesn't even have any holes in it from a number plate ever being fitted so maybe i would believe that the car was sprayed, this is backed up with the blue stripped interior photos. it does also have a full leather interior (even if it is horrific looking).

unfortunately for this fella its still a 20 year old skangered out diesel vento and worth €500.

The last sentence makes me imagine an Amityville type house forcing him to sell.

At least the house has sense.

Aye, Nissans, Isuzus, etc. Blame Shaken, the Japanese NCT, which is done with electron microscopes and costs something like €1,000 a year. I remember warehouse-fulls of the bloody things appearing here in the '80s.

It is strange how the text appears to have been written by two people who apparently where using the same keyboard at the same time and the saner one won in the end, because the text almost turns coherent.
Maybe his daughter wrote the first bit, it would explain a lot, (if she's 3 and has no arms)

edit:
Maybe the dog wrote it?

Wonder are these bargains gone? Surely you have to keep renewing (paying) for the ad to leave it up there?

I think carzone changed their policy on that a while back, think its there till it sells now.

This whole garage (ex Barry Pender) could win the title of dreamers; http://kilkennycarcomplex.ie/

05 C4 diesel with 155kms for 6,250 this is LOL territory. Sold an S40 with way higher spec and lower miles for 5k 18 months ago! Or an 04 X5 (nearly ten years old FFS) for 10, 450. Crazy stuff altogether.

Yeah but if it's been parked up in a barn for the past 14 years as the seller says, then they wouldn't of been liable to pay any tax.

Leaving motortax slip for a few months while still driving it in public places is a different ball game.
