Title: "New"3.2 MV6
Post by: powerslinky on 06 July 2014, 09:23:31
After the  nightmare trying to get to Wolverhamton by train on Friday evening , owing to the Virgin mainline being closed at Birmingham owing to a fatality on the

line . I finally arrived at 22.50 :(    I Collected the "new" to me '04 Black MV6 saloon from Tall Paul :y

First impressions are very good all round . Seems a very well maintained car , drives great . :y

most of the major "pitfalls"  (cam belt, oil cooler, thermostat & coolant transfer pipe) have all recently be done.

Nice cold air con , very good condition door cards & interior. aftermarket Sony stereo fitted  ( that  sounds good) &  2 new front tyres

alloys good nick , Long MOT & 5 months tax :y

Slight negative points:  EML light was on as per usual for a 3.2  . . . but checked codes & only 2  showing usual lambda sensor faults . Cleared codes & light has

stayed off :o :o

Slight rust showing on one rear arch  but nothing that cannot be sorted quickly.

All in all very pleased & sincere thanks to Paul for a good deal :y :y

Put your code reader on it in a day or 2, if the codes are back (they do not always bring on EML until they go beyond a certain threshold), arrange to get them moved :y
