Your car seems to have swallowed up a good few parts over the last few weeks hopefully this will sort it for you
Yeah it has, it's worth it though, Gaskets are wear and tear items and CCV I wanted to do anyway. Full brake system and suspension nextToyotafanboi wrote: »Do you have a DSC fault showing Norman?
Clearly didn't bother heading to you today with it ****ing down rain, will try again tomorrow.
Yeah intermittent DSC fault, very annoying and hard to trace, usually a speed sensor issue but mine are fine, very fiddly!
I was fecking freezing my hands off today :pac:0 -

OK it's a lot dearer than the 7000 you set but... As you say you would be down €3000 if the timing chain falls out of it which as you with a BMW. I've never driven one put it has good power and very nice spec coupled with the cheap tax you hear so much about. Worth considering maybe? First thing that springs to my mind when people try to put "fun" and "diesel" in the one sentence. :P

Didn't think there we're any 147's sold in 2010...! Pricey but a nice alternative to the usual sights on the road of that vintage
However...First thing that springs to my mind when people try to put "fun" and "diesel" in the one sentence. :P
....is a knackered 406 D-Turbo with Mercedes E300 turbo bolted on/250 turbo machined to fit :cool:0 -

I hope this morning's chills find ye well and undamaged. No trouble here until I got to the office car-park, which is of course on a gradient. I turned in, saw someone stopped and of course had to stop myself. That was when I noticed that there was no grip. At all. None. The chap in front wobbled gingerly back to me and said he was just going to leave it where it was. I had to do the same, as an attempt to reverse just saw the thing slew sideways down the hill. In the immortal words of Mark Webber, "that car is out of control. That's gone."

Slippiest I ever saw was in a car park in Germany, ice with a layer of water on top. I was able to get out and push my car sideways. Not just the front or the back, I pushed towards the middle door pillar and the entire car was moving sideways. And I didn't have that much traction either as I went arse over end. Darndest thing ever.0 -

Proper order. It was difficult enough earlier without the drugs. 0 -
Re the 159, they are a very reliable car the diesel engines are very good. I wouldn't go with the 120 jtd as I think it's too low for such a heavy car but the 150 is more than enough to shift it along.
If you want some more power then I'd look at importing the newer 2.0 jtd with 170bhp or go the whole hog and get the 210 2.4 0 -

I've got an urge to change but every time I look at something else I don't want to sell what I have. They're a great car.
Paying for a wedding and getting a possible mortgage are clawing away at me however.0 -
