I was in Dublin this morning and would have brought it home if it was available.

Reminds me of the old 4x4 Renault Scenic which I was a fan of.

This looks really nice. Still a good looking car IMO.

You can pretend you're in an old episode of Road Wars too

He should raffle it. See his other ad. Are these raffles legal?

Any raffle above a certain value needs to be approved and licensed.

The vast majority of car raffles are over that value.

Would it be difficult to get insured on a category D car?

Maintenance issues of diesel cars?
Sure, some are more reliable and cheaper to run than others, but issues are vehicle and not fuel specific.


I've spent more on my petrol bangernomic in the past 6 months, than I did on my previous 2 diesel bangernomics cars in the 2 years prior to it - and I had a full clutch & flywheel combo fitted to one of the diesels in my ownership.

I've had 6 diesels in a row now, 5 Passats and the A4, and they have had little spent on them outside of regular oil change and fuel/air/oil filters etc, but having said that, they are all diesels of a certain "era".

As we get into EGR and DPF diesels, I feel this is where the money starts creeping in especially if they aren't been driven for purpose.

According to wiki they use the rover k-series engine. Looks to be the same one used in the MG ZR with HG issues.

I could be wrong though.

But yea that 1.4 engine with a bit over 100bhp was above all the other 1.4's at the time power wise.

All cars are bad for the environment unless it's one of the gravity powered ones made of recycled wood with 4 ball bearings for wheels.

I was helping my son source a car over the last month, bough aporox 10 car checks to help.
We were looking for a 11 to 131 csr with approx 100,000 km or less. Only found 2 cars that didn't have odometer discrepancy, most of the cars were red flagged for this., one even had wrong engine id. Most of them also vastly understated the no. of previous owners. Buyer beware never truer !

Back in 07/08 they told us diesel was going to save the planet and half the population rushed out and scrapped perfectly good petrol cars, spending tens of thousands of euro just to get cheap annual motor tax.
Now the feckers are at it again with the whole electric car thing.
It’s a con designed to keep you purchasing new cars.
I keep my carbon footprint as low as I can but I won’t be rushing out to buy an electric car anytime soon.
Best thing you can do for the environment (from a car point of view anyway) is drive your old car into the ground.
This thread is based around probably the most environmentally friendly way of motoring.

A whole lot of car for the money.
Nct 01/21
Taxed end 08/20

“Raped in dark grey” is the only issue!

I think the NCT and tax discs might be fake too. Something doesn’t add up if it was taxed for the year last August, but there’s 9 owners. That doesn’t happen.

NCT site talking about rearranging a booking when you put the reg in.
Carsireland doesn’t give an expiry on the tax (not 100% reliable but still)

As always, buyer beware.

You’d definitely want eyes wide open but I wouldn’t take the day/night thing as being a huge issue.
I’ve often used pics taken MONTHS apart. If I had pics on my phone already, I wouldn’t bother taking more.

I’d guess you’re looking at the very bottom of the price range.
