Yeah it’s a weird one, completely out of range.

Whats the most likely explanation if you had to guess? Engine does not match car and was probally replaced at some stage.

Could be as simple as the number plates made up wrong.
Could be a stolen or even non Irish registered car. Bit silly to make up a reg number though.

Have you an advert to link to or anything?

How did you know the engine was wrong?

Is the car being sold with road tax included for a few months?

Mechanic was doing a pre NCT and said it would not pass because of vlc and engine not matching.

Engine number or just completely different type of engine?

restive · 19-09-2018 11:31pm

Different engine.
