What does abs ecu have to do with the speedo not working aswell? Car is said to drive perfect aswell just these faults?
ABS provides speed signal to other ecus.

between 4 and 10hrs to remove from experiences here, refit similar. do bear in mind we have diverse membership, with varying skill levels

Any figures of removal and fitting times from MrDTM..... tripple them for us normal folk!  ;D ;D
You would be good at it Tunnie, lanky git ;D

where is mounted? behind the dash?

shows owner does really bother to fix serious issues, so what state is it mechanically in.  May be worth a punt, but only for stupid money - v6s have dropped dramatically in price

Alloys dont bother me being different, but know what you mean about how long speedo not been working for, but to be honest its so easy now to get your car clocked back  anyway and make it look right with services that half the time you wouldnt know if its true mileage or not. Guy said he is looking for a grand which i thought was ok, what you think???

Alloys are wrong, he has spent money to replace the orginals, but NOT spent money on fixed mechanical issues.

Pay no more than £800.

With no tax and mot, its barley worth that.. V6 facelifts have become almost impossible to sell.
