    "Engine Prefect". There's your problem, it has an ancient Ford engine in it.
    And "Immobiliser Prombels", no, not familiar with that make.

    A one-litre Volkswagen is about as much fun as a toaster and will die after 70,000 miles if you do much in the way of highway driving. A Saxo is a Citroen and will drive you to drink, drugs and divorce as it mugs you at knife-point while shouting "Allez les Bleus!!", but it's at least a quirky, fun little thing. Neither of them have any power. I hope that much helps! :D

    Well, the saxo it is then...

    Seriously though, looking for a car now is getting tiring..

    "Not starting"

    Where do these people come from? How can an engine be perfect and not start? Sure an engine that starts but misfires would probably be "mint" to this guy :pac:

    Bought some wind deflectors on ye olde ebay for the C5. Only place I could find them. Thought I'd get them on Mick's Garage handy enough, but apparently not.

    Judging from the back bumper the driver must of just stood back and tried to throw in whatever needed to go in the boot. I hate seeing yokes like that so abused engines probably wrecked from being run on cheap diesel and not being serviced probably just fit for scrapyard at this stage unfortunately.

    Well, if it is in fact an old Ford sidevalve that makes prefect sense as written. See what I did there?? :D

    If you do the driving thing and your car is 2002 or above, they may give you a good quote.

    I'm not sure if my ignition test is still valid but they've always given me good online quotes, even when I was throwing in fake information for future quotes.

    Ah sure it's a bit of advertising for them, isn't it. Puts a few Euro into Boards, too. No harm in it. Could come back to bite them though when someone gets a trouble car and starts giving them endless hassle on here over it :P
