Deposit received - car provisionally SOLD.

Decided to flog this after all - I need the space for something more interesting. If I kept this I'd want to sort the rust on the rear arches. That's just more money I'm not going to get back. Pics from today: Reducing again: £695 including the winter wheels / tyres [Continental...

Decided to withdraw from sale.

Further reduction: £750 including the winter wheels / tyres [Continental WinterContact-TS-850 195/60 R15 88T] all with 8mm tread. £550 not including winter wheels (though does still include the Maptuner).

Moved the pics to Flickr:

Here's a video of the car starting to show there are no warning lights. Taken in my garage when the car hadn't started for 3 or 4 days, hence being dark. Apologies for the poor quality. You can tell it was filmed today as opposed to March as per my SID due to the news report on the radio...

Still available - there is a tiny bit of play in the price, though not a huge amount given the cost of the winter wheels / tyres and the unused maptuner alone comes to £803. So you're getting a free car with the wheels and maptuner! That's a free car that's been serviced in May 2017, is MOT'd...

Gaz_l - have replied to your PM.

This is a 2002 2.0 Turbo (Petrol - 150 BHP) automatic. I'm averaging 28mpg though 30+ is easy on a run (have seen up to 37mpg once coming back from Bristol to the midlands when sticking to 60mph). Massive boot which is great for trips to the dump. Seats fold down too.

Ideal winter shed (even though it's nowhere near winter)! My 9-3 is up for sale having owned it almost exactly 2 years ago. Current mileage 153207. It is very reliable having spent a great deal of money on it in my ownership. Just MOT'd (no advisories) and serviced this May around 1 month...

Thanks for all the pointers - I'll give this a go. :D

Thanks for that :) I can see places I can get that online - is there anywhere I'd be able to buy that on the high street?

My son used to work at McDonalds and as such spent the shift walking through grease and all sorts of bits and bobs dropped on the floor. I'd then give him a lift home and those manky greasy shoes would go onto the passenger footwell carpet as well as the protective floor mat. Any...

The E320 is sounding very promising. I test drove an E270 years ago but wimped out as I'd never had a Merc before. Since had the E250 from new in 2013 so a lot happier now to plump for an older Merc.

Do they take well to remaps? I've had other cars remapped in the past (petrol and diesel turbos) and neither were problem free.

That's easy enough to identify - thanks. :thumb: :D

How would I identify one of the newer cars? Is there anything on the VIN number or are there more obvious clues?

I'm looking at getting an E320 CDI (2003 - 2007 ish). According to Autotrader, the later cars have a higher power output. I've found Autotrader to be less than accurate in the past especially concerning the performance stats hence my question here. If there was a change to the engine with...

I saw the 11.30 interview - think that may be a later one though the content seems pretty similar having skipped through it. Edd says he's leaving due to a reduction in workshop time on the show, though Mike said that wasn't the case. Suppose we'll find out when the new shows are aired. I...
