I've paid the deposit for it mate! :D

Back on for sale and this time I really need it gone as I've committed to buy a 200 Cup! Fresh ad: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182639078717 1500 buys it!

Currently sitting at £2050, ending in 1.5 hours. Seller said it has FSH, belt done once on 24/10/14, almost new Phenoma (budget) tyres. MOT history looked OK to me. I was hoping to go and view it but couldn't find the time. Thought someone might want to bid blindly (I don't)...

Could you please send me a message when you decide to sell it? I was on the market for an R26 last month but I had to hold the purchase due to change in job circumstances. I'll likely be on the market for a 182 or 197 in a month or so when / if things settle down with the job and yours look very...

Good to know about the intake manifold issue. Apparently premature water pump failures are also rather common. I saw a 'low coolant level' warning on the dash last summer. Pulled over, checked engine bay and noticed water / vapour coming off somewhere near the pump. AA rescue guy came around...

Thanks mate! Yes, it's so good to drive on the motorway and surprisingly good on fuel too. Only selling because I want a more involving drive. I would have kept it another 3-4 years if I could afford running two cars. I was looking for a 150hp estate originally but good ones were another £1000...

Here's the link to my 9-3 diesel. I'm looking for an R26 to replace it. £1900 buys it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=182447847297#ht_560wt_1056 I don't see the point as it's by no means a sporty car but can be remapped to 180hp, as the engine is basically a detuned version...

Looks decent but unlike majority I don't really like liquid yellow colour :-(

I've blindly bid on the first car but didn't meet the reserve, which is probably £4100. I'll try to go and see the car tomorrow. It's last a few MOT's are OK but older ones gives the impression it may not have had the easiest life. I'll post again tomorrow / when I see the car. I can push...

I'm on the market for an R26. I was going to view these two cars this weekend but both owners had to postpone due to other commitments. I'll try and reschedule viewing for another day this week, if they don't sell by then. Car 1...

Hi there. I have been contemplating to buy a 172 for track use, keep it off the road and tow it to track days roughly once a month. I hadn't thought of the insurance but I've come across a few other issues that need to be resolved, listing them here just so you can have a think about them as...

Hi guys. My 2006 Saab 9-3 which I use as a daily / workhorse needs a through cleaning. Does anyone know a decent valeter in (south) Manchester? I am not looking for a super premium / super pricey service, I just need a decent inside / out clean, wax & polish and perhaps minor paint correction...

Cheers guys, I've spoken to the last owner and will give it back.

There's a couple of more pages (up to 68000 - last MOT), I just didn't upload the whole image. Thanks.

Hi all, I've picked up a 182 FF yesterday at 71000 with FSH. It needs belts done and new tyres but got it for a good price. Took the car to NorthWest Performance today and they didn't find any problems other than I was already willing to get done. Anyway, we checked the MOT history online...
