My '98 2.5TD Estate for sale
« on: 15 December 2009, 20:59:12 »

Due to the recent arrival of a newer TD Estate, my well cared-for 1998 tractor is now surplus to requirements, and therefore up for grabs.

151000 miles and a brand-new MoT; currently SORN'd; and in very clean condition.
Serviced every 2500 miles, and chipped.
Very good tyres all-round, a Witter tow-bar, tailgate spoiler, CAR400 radio-cassette player.

Over the past year or so, I've lavished a small fortune on it:
* NEW injection pump
* NEW No.4 injector
* NEW rad/'stat/water pump

It drives superbly, returns 33 mpg locally, and'll happily cruise at 70mph-plus for hours.
One or two little dings and some stone-chipping on the bonnet, surface rust-spot at edge of O/S/R door (as per photos), and a small mark on the head-lining (not guilty!) Occasionally has a slight noise at the front of the engine area when it's hot and on over-run. Was diagnosed as timing-chain/guide wear at Newent, though my local BMW chap has given it the all-clear for many thousands more miles yet. Although he (obviously) stops short of any form of  guarantee, he reckons that I'm being 'over fussy'. Temperature will climb to the 100 mark when towing the caravan up long inclines, but has never gone close to the red. Air-con not working and slight diff pinion oil seal weep.

There you have it fellow OOFers, I've tried to give as accurate a description as I possibly can, and to ensure that nobody's misled. Feel free to get in touch if you need to know anything further.

'Baron von drunk-a-lot' has very kindly posted-up the photos in the reply below. Cheers Jon!
If you want larger-format photos, just PM me your email address.

The asking price ......... well, make a sensible OOF offer!

I have to say id of been interested in this, I just dont like the idea of "offers" I always get the feeling your out to try and get more than you actually want for it? if someone offered £300 you would be oiffended and say no I want more like.....

so why not just spit that number out now?? I have bought one today, I looked at this a few times as it would have been better for me being diesel, I am buggered if I was going to make an offer and it end up being more than it was worth.

worth considering, on scoobynet (another site I frequent) they insist that you include a price and dont allow the word offers at all. its the way forward!

good luck.
