    Where can you buy those chargers. Thanks

    Sounds like the cars they used to sell in the fifties - sawdust in the gearbox to reduce the grinding, I am not sure what went into the diff to hide the whine, egg in the radiator to seal the leaks, filler to cover the rust holes, clock wound back to hide the galactic miles, etc. etc. etc.

    Caveat emptor.

    Thank you. Don't want to drive this great thread off course with my issues lol. I'll give that a go tomorrow & report back :)

    Sounds like the same issue we had with our V50 years ago - ignition switch was faulty.

    Happened the day before it was being traded in, so it ended up going on a truck to the Volvo dealer we bought the new car from. Think the cost was €710 from memory, which was back in 2013, so probably over €1,000 now - although that's main dealer Volvo pricing.

    Sounds to me like someone who had their mechanic look at the car after they bought it rather than before.

    Different mechanic thinks that it's too. Reckons it's a main dealer only job, it has to be programmed in after fitting.

    Anyone want a V50 for parts lol.

    The 4450 advert was for a Honda Accord originally. Must have sold it, left the ad up and changed pictures and description, but the bit that looks very dodgy is that both the Accord and the Octavia have the very same mileage.

    2008 Octavia 1.9TDi with cheap tax (280 p.a)
    Changed hands recently, so it's a trader
    DSG box in it, but mileage looks very low for a diesel @122k miles
    NCT until December
    Asking €1050
    (eyes wide open, but could be a great cheap car if it checks out)

    If he used the same ad after the Accord was sold he may have overlooked updating the mileage for the Octavia. On the face of it I wouldn't read too much into that. Down to €1,300 now. At this rate it'll be €500 before the weekend is out. Needs an injector to sort out smokey engine were told and some minor rust below passenger door but if thats genuinely all that wrong then its surely a bargain. Seems an honest ad to be fair.

    It does seem honest alright and more than likely that's all that happened with the mileage
    That's got to be worth that kind of money all day long, even if it needs an injector sorted
