Andy H:
2003 3.2 MV6 Estate - MOT due 29th Nov 2019

This car puts a smile on my face every time I drive it but SWMBO refuses to drive it and I have bought a Galaxy :-( so it has to go.

I bought this car from JamesV6CDX who bought from MisterRog.

James replaced a coil pack to fix a misfire and replaced the front crank oil seal but didn't feel strong enough to change a rear wheel bearing which is why I got the chance to buy it. I drove it for a year and then fitted a new bearing to the nearside rear. There is still a slight leak from the front of the engine but I cannot see whether it is still the crank seal or from higher up :-\

Just before I took delivery the instruments failed so James fitted a spare instrument cluster. The old one shows 114857 miles. The first time I drove it the replacement showed 106454 miles so the displayed mileage is under by about 8500 miles.

The CCR2006 (radio/cassette/4 CD changer) has a loose front panel and doesn't auto tune. It occasionaly refuses to accept the CD cassette and needs to be reset by pulling it out briefly. MisterRog left a spare radio in the boot but I don't have a code for it.

The towing eye cover is missing from the front bumper.

Front and rear bumpers have the marks from 'nudge parking'

The passenger door has a matt finish to the paint - I was going to either replace the door or polish/respray it but never found time.

Being a 3.2 it brings up the 0420/0430 pre-cat efficiency codes on a fairly regular basis.

Price £700 - located on the Cornwall/Devon border
