Finished work at 20.40hrs and found a car on Gumtree so I bought it.
Is a 2000 W Reg A4 1.9tdi 110bhp Avant SE in purple.
It's a bit of a dog. Lacquer peel and few rust spots. Couple of dints.
164k miles on the clock. Previous mot history backs this up for the last few years. Cambelt done at 122k sometime in 2011.
Car is using water. And leaking oil. Advertised as water pump failing cos cooling fans come on after 30 miles of driving.
Water is leaking from the pipe that fixes to the right side of the head. Oil is dripping onto the block and then the floor from the oil filter housing area.
Central locking defunct. No indication on dash that any front door is open.
Cv joint clicking.
But for £225 with test until mid August, I'm happy.
Oh, concert radio is in SAFE mode.
Rear view mirror has been replaced with a very small plastic mirror.
Starts and seems to drive ok. Only done 1st and 2nd gears. Engine sounds sweet.
So here's to some fun.
