Either Crank sensor, Cambelt or lack of fuel would be my three guesses ::) Cheap car for someone though :y

The ad is quite curt :-\ if I hadn't bought one last week, I would be up there with a crank sensor in my pocket ::)

A sign of the times if it's out of fuel. I doubt that the AA would put much over 5 litres in, and as Albs will testify, the estates take about 15 litres to restart if they conk out on a slope :o

i found that out when i put a new tank on mine as it had a hole in top thanks to lpg fitters, my drive on a slope and i put 2 gallon in and nothing, trolly jack under towbar to level it and bingo

Hasn't this one been on the bay for ages now?  I'm sure he keeps ending the auction and relisting it, because it doesn't reach what he wants for it!  ::)

Read the feedback he has left for others. It is positive but the comments read like all negative, I suppose it is because a seller can't leave negative.

THis car is a mile away from where I live
Been to check it out
Its a NO NO.
Engine is locked solid
General condition is poor
I would consider the EBay pics are from a previous  time
Could be some value as a breaker
