Last rites.
« on: 30 March 2014, 19:23:30 »
Here we have it - 1994 2.5 V6 auto CDX saloon with genuine £75K. However, there are some issues.
MOT expires on 4th April & will fail for the first time due to rear coil spring condition. Other faults include an exhaust manifold stud leak; AC not working; water leak into passenger footwell. Apart from that there is nothing  wrong. Fully electric seats still work & should not have been fitted to a CDX.

Worth no more than scrap? But cannot bear the thought as we have owned it a long time.

What do we do?

Springs around £70 the pair, AC (some don`t bother getting it sorted) water leak sounds like blocked scuttle

you have to save that one, It's got so little wrong with it from what you have mentioned it would be a shame to frag the old girl  ???
Rear springs are really easy to fit, if the exhaust manifold leak isn't too bad you should get through the mot as a minor leak of exhaust gas (advisory item) and I have to agree on the water leak being the scuttle drain just underneath the pollen filter!

You have to admire OOFers enthusiasm. I wish I hadn't parted with my old one in 2011 for a mere £100 after all the dosh I had lavished on her. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
