I'm afraid £5000 isn't going to buy it, it's advertised for £6000 OVNO.

It's really tempting. If I hadn't spent so much sorting out my own wagon I'd be straight round.

I'm toying with removing a few bits before I advertise on Pistonheads and Autotrader for a more OEM approach. So possibility to sell scan gauge, double din Sony stereo, Parrot Bluetooth, ARB and zunsport grills.

Where are you based? I could meet if you want to swap rear ARBs? I'll throw in some good quality OEM drop link that are still under warranty. Plus superpro bushes and all nuts and bolts.

Have you stroked this engine to 2.1? You state you have a V9 crank and rods?

It's a 20mm ARB (thought it was 22!) with bushes and it's not fitted at the moment.

Still a 2.0 but had the uprated V9 crank fitted.

I’ve got the car now and it’s still running sweetly ,I might be looking to sell myself for the right price

I've had the opportunity to buy it back three times now. It's changed hands for some very low prices, hopefully you got a good deal!

Oh really I had it for 3500 which I think is fair its a nice car still but j keep getting distracted by other cars and motorbikes haha, looks like you gave that car alot of love a few years ago

Tim farmer did a good job on that engine it's on 107k now and still purring like a kitten
