    I was wondering, saw a couple of late model Forester diesels for sale with “needs engine”

    The problems stem from the dreaded dual mass flywheel failing and being continued to be used. The excess vibration wrecked the rear main bearing causing the oil pressure to drop drastically... The rest is history..

    What are these Renault 1.5 engines like? Are they the same ones that MB are using now? Can't be too bad if MB are using them.....but then again, the way the motoring manufacturing industry is going, nothing is sure any more....:rolleyes:

    Good unit, make sure belt is done and oil and it will motor on...

    I'd rather this then my megane for that added comfort and space.

    Got belt on mine last week €290 with pump and coolant.

    Not a rocket as the Laguna definitely could do with the 2.0 but they are quite frugal.

    S320 with test til July, nice spec (massage seats!), €890

    Nice yoke to smoke around in for a few months. You'd surely get a few hundred for it for export when the test runs out?

    Years test, tax til June, 69k miles, €400 ono

    Bargain if it checks out. Even if it only lasted til the tax ran out you'd be doing well

    No, its not. Just commenting on it. Its in fine condition, if I was looking for a car, would not mind taking a chance on it.

    That's a lot of car for the money if it's been looked after and runs well.

    There's a few on donedeal for not much more than that of the same sort of vintage.

    Granted the NCT is almost up on that one but they seem to be going pretty cheap.

    My Passat estate is beyond economical to keep on the road past Feb with NCT repairs needed, so looking for a replacement.

    So, my E60 530d is for sale now. Carbon black, test until end of April. 312k km, full Joe Duffy history, and last month I did oil/air/cabin. Its auto, its got cream/beige/mustard interior and is certainly sold as seen. For a boardsie I'll do €1500, so for the bangernomics price of 2k you'll have a taxed and tested 530 for three months. I'll be honest with it if someone comes view it.

    You should really put a new test on her.

    Should I? Bought it as bangernomics, it owes me nothing and has cost me nothing... Won't get anything spent on it by me as I'm not a dealer, that's why its sold as seen.

    You might be right. It’s got msport suspension, you’d almost be guaranteed it needs some bits and pieces underneath.

    No knocks or bangs, I'd put it through a test and can say it would probably pass. If something breaks, I fix it, but nothing is broke :pac:

    Well worth putting it through then, mightn’t be anyone for it otherwise.

    Still not spending money on it, as I said... Sold as seen,being a sub 2k car.

    Not even €55 for a test?

    The trick is to move it on from you.

    It'll go one way or another.


    Didn't realise that many people want others to spend money on a car, but nobody is spending money on others cars ;)
