Thoughts on this car for sale on fleaBay?
« on: 08 November 2013, 09:06:02 »

If this stays cheap (which I assume it won't, magpies will be drawn by the promise of a remapped engine) then it's just down the road from me and I'm pondering picking it up as a cheap runaround while I fix the M3 and Omega (one now having been rendered immobile by the SMG pump and the other smells like it's about to catch fire amongst other things  :-[ ) : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291010799168

No mention of the mileage (unless I'm going blind) but looks straight enough..

Just pondering, is it possible to retro-fit the Xenon lights of an Elite to a GLS? Levelling sensor, washers, level motor & lights - is the loom already there or is it missing, anyone know?

That's a strange listing, it's so big that I only see about a half of it on the screen and its so long that it's a PITA to scroll down to shift it across to read the rest....  :-\  Is it me? or are others getting that too?  ::)

I couldn't be bothered to faff about to read it, so it might stay cheap as others might feel the same....  :-\

Ditto,but if you hold the CTRL button on the keyboard and press the minus key, the page shrinks and the main ad becomes readable :y

HID,s are an easy retrofit,as are headlamp washers (done both to my CD). The levelling has never been retrofitted by anyone though to my knowledge. :y

Just bid on it. The antique dealer bought it to take Chippendale furniture to mr opti,but found it wasn't large enough to put that amount of furniture in,so now needs a 7.5 tonner :D

Oh and Tigger - not just you.. they've posted the biggest un-resized photos they could find, rendering it impossible to read without shrinking ;D Silly people..

Albs - good to know.. although I thought without the headlight levelling it falls foul of C&U regs? Not that an MOT station is likely to notice..

If its fitted, it has to work, same as the washers, if its not fitted then they cant fail it.  ;)

Correct - according to my MOT man. :y.............Imo it would be daft to fit the lights and not the washers. Some say the same about having HID,s without levelling,but I keep them properly adjusted and never had a problem with dazzling anyone.  ;)

IME when people badly describe things, have poor photographs they go for much less than the well described and presented. I have picked up some good bargains this way.  :y :y :y

At the right price, it looks like with a bit of TLC you would have a cracking car.  :y :y :y
