I've just taken delivery of three minibuses, and space has become limited.
Some may have read the whole saga of this vehicle.
This is going to be a badly written advert, so I apologise in advance. This vehicle is not in normal retail condition, hence the slightly irregular advert.
Some basic details;
Registration is OY02 VTL
3.2 V6 manual
Formerly in service with Thames Valley Police. Presented in Noctruno blue with texas cloth trim.
16'' CDX alloys
Xenon headlights with dynamic beam levelling and headlight washers.
Limisted slip differential and switchable traction control (both working)
Cruise control stalk fitted, but not working
Ashtray opens and closes fine - Unusual for a facelift as TB pointed out ;D
Now, what are the bad points?
There is a multiple cylinder missfire, it is now believed to be a possible MAF issue. I haven't been able to borrow a MAF to prove or disprove the fault.
The tyres will need replacing soon.
Clutch will need replacing, it works perfeclty fine, selects all gears and doesn't slip. But it is making a racket, it may last 500 miles or 5000 miles, I simply don't know.
This vehicle will get you where you're going though, I don't sell a vehicle with undisclosed faults.
No MOT and no RFL, if you wish to test drive the vehicle, that can be arranged.
It only failed on emissions, which is a result of the missfire, fix that and it will pass an MOT, I have the fail sheet here.
The missfire is not plugs, coil pack. It's either MAF, lambda sensors or wiring somewhere. Everything else has been discounted.
I bought this vehicle for £750, I've changed the air filter and performed a coolant flush and change. The cost of those parts brings the price to £774 - That's what it owes me.
However, if someone is able to collect and pay before 4pm this Thursday I'll be happy to get £625 for it.
£625 for a 3.2 manual, in blue with 126,000 miles.
If it's not sold by Thursday, what I shall do is them attempt to get it fixed and MOT'd.
I had originally bought this vehicle for two reasons, to use as my own car...a run about, and then to restore back to police spec. But I've decided that I no longer have requirement for an unmarked vehicle, instead my focus is on a marked vehicle. If anyone wishes to bring this back to police spec, I'll help you out. Providing you join PVEC and demonstrate an understanding of the regulations in force for the operation of preserved police vehicles.
The vehicle drives perfeclty fine, when at speed it performs faultessly, but at idle it's not right.
Please ask any questions you may have, the photo's are particularly poor, the vehicle is blocked in and currently they've all I've got. Tomorrow I shall take some proper photo's.

Best of luck with the sale, it almost cost me that much to fix my recent cylinder head gasket and valves.
