Hmm. He talks about a supercharger then doesn't show any engine bay pictures ::)

.. and if he can't sort out a brake pad sensor is he likely to have supercharged it? :-/

Kevin

Thought the same - emailed him asking him to put up pics showing engine including blower installation + make of blower.  A blower should increase power on a 200bhp engine by more than 35bhp!

Got a reply - "cant till wednesday away from car sorry thanks


- daffy4716"

Also noted from his feedback that he recently bought one of those so called electric "superchargers" - "This auction is for an elctric supercharger it is a high spec model in turbo style design and high power motor which makes it a bit more powerfull than the inline version that i also sell" - guess he fitted this to the MV6!!

Will see if pics available Wednesday.

Isn't it interesting to dig a little into a sellers' history?

 ;D

So, the plastic hairdryer caused so much extra boost that it blew a head gasket and he's radwelded it?

more than likely one of these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Electric-Supercharger-Turbo-VAUXHALL-VECTRA-VXR-GSI-V6_W0QQitemZ320210335299QQihZ011QQcategoryZ36680QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thats exactly what I was going to say, but I doubt these actually do anything apart from possibly overfuelling the engine.

Anyway, I remember reading on here that the ar35(?) autobox is at it's limit with the power from the 3.0 engine from the factory?

So, if this car does indeed have an extra 35hp, should any buyer not be suspicious of the gearbox possibly going into a strop?

did you read the specs of the ebay thing, it "only" draws 30amps, i can hear his alternator brushes burning away from here................

Mad, quite possibly.......a fool, no.  :y

And they always say, a fool and his money.........buy pointless hair dryers!  ;D

I could actulay do a few sums to show how utterly useless these things are but.......I cant be bothered.

Needless to say that its a peek of a 360W motor which is just under half a horse power.....an effective super charger uses 10 times that!

And 30A is noting for an alternator to supply these days.

to pay £1400 for a car with no history is one thing, but then he states he has partial history from a few years even tho he's only had 3,000 miles out of it??!

some mug's bid £3k on it...

At least the buyer can reject it as in my opinion this is mis-described, ebay is far from legally binding anyway, despite what they say. This is a fine example of people bidding before asking questions or seeing the vehicle as I can't believe for a second you would pay £3k for a car with a hairdrier and a variable resistor wired into it as 'performance mods'. Maybe we should have an 'ebay shed of the week' board for all these great cars with ever optomistic sellers!
