Not sure on chain/belt , know someone with a 07 , extremely reliable, economical, comfortable

Mad_Mike · 27-02-2019 07:51PM

As far as I know, the 1.3 doesn't have a belt, but chain instead.

Civic hybrid with nice leather, Pirelli tyres, 15 months test, €2150

Surely could be bought for €2k. Tempted myself

Would it be easy to self-service a hybrid?

Do you mean service the hybrid system itself?

Nice looking 320i estate with a years test, €1950

This looks very tidy, could be a nice buy

That A3 has piqued my interest, what are they like? What's the s tronic box like in the 1.6 petrol (not on this one obviously) ?

Not too bad, anything to watch for? you seem to get some very specific opinions regarding BMWs, some models Im not a fan of the look for the year but that one looks ok, but people out there seem to know the pros and cons of certain engines/gearboxes.
Petrol 2l?/6 speed manual good bad? the guy has another car for sale, maybe bit of a wheeler dealer, could just be cleaning stuff up and moving it on, might be ok or might not.

any opinions on which car reporting website gives the most free information and which does the best report for best price?

N46 isn't as troublesome as the N47, but the chains and tensioners can still go on them, so worth checking, I believe they're only rated for around 100,000km?

Years test, two days tax, 56k miles, 1 owner, quality tyres, E320 V6, €999

The want for this is ridiculously strong!

3,300 miles per annum!!
In the infamous words of Kevin Keegan...'I would love it....'
Super find.
Depresses me to think where it will end up though, after 17 years of charmed existence I suspect it could be in for a shock with its new owner/owners..:(:(

Thanks, I was nearly thinking of getting a carcheck report on that one, could only find N42 engine mentioned up to 2006, N46 seems to be a replacement of the N42 and a also lot about diesel N47s, the timing seems a weak point, discovering more so after reading up on it, thought looked nice, leather and cruise, bit wary now.

Not under new regs. it'd fall down on the size of the boot door. Can't remember the dimensions, but it's 100% too small. I checked it out on another similar car recently!

I have one myself, 320i saloon 2007. Haven't had any major issues over the past two years or so, only replacing the timing chain (was roughly €700 from an indy).

They're not as bad as the N47 in terms of the chain stretching etc and causing catastrophic failure etc.

Hi w123, would that just be to crew cab the estate or is it same if the intended use was for something like a 2 seater van? In other words, could it be commercial without the back seats and one big loading area?

Not sure, but good question.
My enquiry was specifically related to crew cab, so perhaps it different rules if converting to 2 seater van?

mayota · 28-02-2019 02:13PM

2 seater van.

They were factory built though, right?
I think they are class, but then I would.
It'd be a fun project with that W210 linked in fairness!

Been watching close for one of these now for a few months, as the regret never goes away having got rid of the other one I had!

God I'm tempted! :eek:
