Looks tidy , i would be interested at that price or maybe £500 for an offer  :y Best thing is to message him and ask what needs doing for mot .. even if you have to spend a few hundred you will have a nice car  :y

Aye was tempted by that one myself  :-X and this one LINK (http://bit.ly/1h4TyfP)Always wanted one with a colour screen like that. Don't think I could justify 3 Omegas though  ::) ;D

Seen a lot of FL 3.2 Elite's going for next to nothing recently... Granted those are probably poor examples once you go and see them..

Is that what he told you too.

Asked him today what it needs doing for the Mot.

Hi
Believe it or not probably nothing, although the engine management light has been coming on intermittently for weeks before I stopped driving it, prob cambelt sensor, it has just been sitting here untouched for 8 months, I just don't have the time to do anything as work busy, car is clean, drives great, engine quiet, tyres good, just need it gone, seems a waste of a good car that just needs TLC

I've looked .. really hard .. at the EPC, and in Mr Haynes excellent (?? :) ) book .... and nowhere, anywhere, on any engine, have I found a "CAMBELT SENSOR" .. I wonder what engine he has fitted that has such an item .. :) (or do I detect some bovine excrement ???)  :)

I think you'd know if the cam belt went without a sensor ;D ;D ;D

Hes not a very good mechanic if that is what he says the fault is,and why would you have a car sitting parked up not being used but still taxed.....
