Good bits.
Body work pretty good for age, no real problems with tin worm, 2 scratches on rear nearside panel, 1 on bootlid, and scrape on rear offside bumper (subject to insurance claim at present, it's a minor car park thing, and i was sat in the car at the time, so the old cow was not just going to walk away from it.... )
Currently has a sports type grille, but will also be supplied with the original in a box...
mechanicals...
Good.
in the last couple of years, all round new original GM shocks , (proper shortened for lowered chassis Mv6 OEM from AndyC) , new rear springs (ditto lowered chassis ones) , new front wishbones, drop links and roll bar bushes.
couple of months ago, all new brake pads.
2 new front tyres.
Exhaust about 10 months old
new plugs last oct/nov, along with cam cover gaskets (and breathers cleaned etc)
converted to metal can oil filter last october...
it is About to get a new HBV , Crank sensor and Aux drive belt. to make it driveable..... and stop the very minor oil leak.... and an oil+filters change
Interior
Full Black leather, in reasonable nick, ditto carpets.... there have generally always been mats in the thing, so the carpet belies the mileage.
NCDC2013 (NOT CID), both lasers fully operational, 2 disc carts fully operational, 2009/10? ish original NAV disc.
Indifferent
O2 sensor location moved post pre-cat or whatever it is that mod is that stops EML continually triggering on post100k miggys.
power sounder removed.... TB style...
fitted with Towbar and twin electrics.
(and hell yes it works..... )
bad.
needs position 2 O2 sensor passenger bank. EML on, ONLY code stored is 0141 , P2 O2 sensor heater circuit open.
could use a WIM visit, it tends to the left a bit. and squirms a bit under braking.
HID lenses really need sanding and polishing.
Aircon needs regas , and frankly, the compressor bearings are shot....
small recurring chip in windscreen, been done by 2 different chip repair jobs over last 3 years... keeps coming back , but never gets any bigger.
some stone chip paint damage on front.
and the rear end marks already mentioned.
boot floor catch for spare wheel compartment, buggered....
Will soon need at least one rear tyre... (tread wear getting a bit thin, ) and i usually do them in pairs.... you really should you know.....
brake pad wear sensors not replaced by muppets who last did my brakes.... so warning comes up, despite them only being 10 weeks old.
Mileage at about 156k now....
it's due another cambelt in the next 5k.
AFAIK , everything apart from aircon works.... (aside from repairs to be carried out before buyer collects...
If buyer wants the cam belt and o2 sensor and so on done, i could perhaps arrange to do it at the same time as the other bits, but at your expense..... if you ask and pay before i get the rest done. that is.... think currently planning )
I repeat 11 months tax..... so.....
As bonus bits.... buyer will also get.
1) FL elite Photochromatic rear view mirror, intended to fit to this, never got around to it....
2) 2 spare piles of bits that are/were variously workable NCDC2013 units. 1 or both may have satnav lasers working.... , one should also have CDC laser spare.
3)1 spare GID(or is it MID< ?? the monochrome jobby for satnav ncdc2013 )
4)1 buggered, but possibly repairable CID,..... no code.... but married to one of the similarly non functional but possibly repairable units mentioned above.
( i was going to drop all that lot of to TB for experimenting the next time i went thru Brackley, however, not been anywhere near the place since i came up with that idea.... )
original car pass, and car pass code for 1 spare GID/NCDC , no code for CID or second spares NCDC.
there are some pics in the gallery of her in her glory prior to marks at rear... , I'll take some more current ones on friday when i get home.....
shall I open negotiations at £900?
that works out to be about £660 for the car and 240 for tax???
I will ebay the thing once the stuff has been fitted.... , but i thought i'd mooch it up here first, as i'd prefer it went to someone who'd appreciate it and care for it. and you wont ask stupid questions about o2 sensors,
again , when i get home on Friday, I will dig out the MOT and post exact date.....
V5 present, big pile of old MOTs and some invoices..... handbook and car pass ..... also present....

a bit late, I've been a busy boy....

it does still come up that good when washed and polished properly.... i've just not had time as i've been insanely busy with work ....

Well, it's off to the scrap yard then.
i'll send the tax back and scrap it end of the week, not got time or patience or space to be dicking about....
-
Mv6 Estate is a rare car Max. Patience patience.
-
My driveway is a foot shorter than the Mv6....
and I've now swapped the insurance to the Jag,
so ,under the new and bloody stupid continuous insurance rules, as i understand it, I am required to send tax back and SORN it , at which point it becomes harder to do anything with.....
reckon i can get away with the end of the week, but seriously, it needs to be done.
Ebay failed to reach the £750 reserve, highest bid was £350 and i will get more (considerably so... ) for returning the tax and weighing it in (AND there's a scrappy less than a mile from my house)

Very sad to see this go to the scrapper :(

Is twiggy still collecting them :-\
-
Might be worth a pm ;)

You can leave putting it on sorn until they write to you. Money making/grabbing f*****s

Is twiggy still collecting them :-\
doubt it, he's selling his elite.... if he'd done so a few weeks earlier i'd have had it like a shot..... too late now.... I'm jaguar'ed up.
