No sign of filler, injectors, but extra wiring, some mess in bottom left of the picture.

No switch either.

Probably won't have an LSD either if it's a slushbox, AFAIK only manuals got those.

Checked the reg at the DVLA and it was first registered on 29/06/1999, so tax and MOT are due shortly. No mention of dual fuel.  :-/

Have you been in touch with the seller, Tunnie?

I just rang the dealer selling it, he said he lot the keys when moving house.... he reckoned it was ex Met police, hence London city miles and not motorway  :-?

I reckon i could have a few quid off him in the price, (he had it 6 weeks)

It does have some damage to the passenger front wing, but the previous MOT does state 58k miles, however very suspicious of that!

Wondering if it is worth a punt this one  :-/

Tricky..  without the keys, you'll have to take the seller's word that the engine actually truns and that the autobox is OK....

Still, he shouldn't realy advertise it as CDX, and he should have mentioned it was ex-plod, so don't know how trustworthy he might be...

That's odd. IF it is the same car, it's now showing in Woking not High Wycombe. :o

Original ad has disappeared.

Don't go any further Tunnie, it's looking distinctly fishy.

Nightmare, not bargain.

You're right, Markie, you can't be sure it's the same, but given that it's a white T reg with the same alloys (not usual ex-plod) with exactly the same mileage and the disappearing High Wycombe ad.... Well, it makes you wonder.
