Cars for Sale & wanted / 2001 Y MV6 3.2 manual estate spares or repair

« on: 18 May 2015, 15:38:44 »

For sale as title says Y plate MV6 3.2 manual estate. Krypton green .

Selling for spares or repair as MOT runs out on the 30th of this month and I haven't got the time or money to put it through a ticket .


Things I think need doing
Poss rocker cover gaskets.
Prop Center bearing or UJ
Engine mount

I fitted a eaternal car exhaust system about a year ago along with a pair of 3.0 cats converted to fit 3.2
Rust starting to come through on the tailgate by the wiper and where the griffin badge should be . Ns front wing paint faded badly

The car has a set of MV6 wheels with fairly good tyres on them and I will chuck in a set of 18" fox racing wheels with it .
If I can find the original head unit I will put that back in but at the moment the radio is removed

I haven't got any really resent photos but there are plenty of photos of it on my profile ( I think they are still there )
£500 Ono

Cars for Sale & wanted / Thinking of selling my 3.2 mv6 manual estate

« on: 19 October 2014, 18:39:24 »

Hi all I am thinking of selling my 2001 (Y) mv6 estate it started life as a 2.6 auto but was converted by robsey on here to 3.2 manual with parts from a ex police car . I have replaced the dif with a 2.5 diesle unit when the sliper died . It's got 147 K on the clock and is in fairly good condition with the odd ding and scratch but nothing serious the ns wing could do with re painting as the lacquer has gone and it has a tiny rust bubble where the vauxhall badge used to be on the tailgate it z380 krypton green and will come with a set of mv6 wheels and a set of 18 fox racing wheels that could do with a referb . The clutch is getting tired and not sure if it's the tires or a noisy wheel bearing but it's got a bit of a rumble sadly . It's had polly bushes fitted to the front wishbones and has had the 3.0 cats fitted but still throws up a cat efficiency code now and again . Just looking to see what sort of sensible offers I can get on here before I advertise it else where

General Car Chat / whats happened to my mpg

« on: 12 April 2013, 21:54:58 »

what going on with my mpg when i first got my 3.2 manual estate it had a lsd fitted and i was getting around 26 mpg when the lsd died i fitted a 2.5 diesel diff and was getting 28/29 mpg then the rear box went rotten so the boy racer came out in me and i had straight through pipes fitted and it dropped to around 27 ish i have now replaced the whole system with one of the ones like eternalcar supply from Poland and it has dropped to 25 mpg ? i did have the eml light come on ages ago before the exhaust back box failed and we came to the conclusion it was the common pre cat fault . i gave the car a drink of super unleaded and some injector cleaner and the light has been off ever since ?
