apart from what he has already done i'd change the lambda, one of the most obvious things to change to be honest

I think that's expensive for a broken one.

If Harpham gets his gay yellow Clio his ph1 might be for sale, might be worth pm'ing him

 

[Pearce]

Tis expensive just thought if I went there with the knowledge of what was wrong with it might have been able to get it for cheap

 

[Bobby.]

thing is with a missfire it could be alot of things. just go have a look if its really local and you want it. then just make him an offer which reflects what it could cost to get it repaired. whats the worst that could happen.

Theres a guy selling a proper mint low mileage ph1 on here for £1700.

Why would you consider buying a broken one for the same money??

 

[Pearce]

Cus the one that you are on about is sold and again I wouldn't pay that hence the thread I wanted someone with mechanical knowledge to give me some suggestions on why the cars fubarred so I could haggle the price

The thing is, its impossible to diagnose the car without seeing it.

Could be a sensor, could be a dropped valve.

So misfires are caused from a number of things? these are the answers I was looking for like I say I'm not to clued up on causes of problems on cars so any help is appreciated

Cheers

As he says really.

If the guy in the ad really has replaced everything he's mentioned, then it's worse than usual because it's normally one of those things.

You'll spend more on trying to fix it than you would finding another decent one.

Bet it needs a new continuum transfunctioner.

Cool.

I once foolishly trusted someone that sold me a car as needing an injector.

It had dropped a valve, needed nearly £1000 worth of work.

no proof of belts done tho, could be risky. if he got them done then it would puts the price up to about the same as the other
