I'm not unhappy with that, despite turning down an offer of £1000 earlier in the week. All the bidders looked to be breakers so that's where she'll go I suspect. Probably a good earner as the body and interior on it were very good.

Well, I've had about 5 offers of £700 and a few higher, the highest being £1000. I'm going to run the auction to the end and see what I get. The car's really good apart from the engine, no dents, no wear on the inside etc. so it would break well or receive an engine from a write off easily...

Thanks for the replies , and yes 0360 was one of the codes!!! With the likely cost of repair, the time it would take and my constant use of the car (8000 miles in the 3 months I've owned it) I've decided to cut my losses and sell it as it stands. I've put it on eBay and had quite a lot of...

Has anybody got any idea what those codes mean? I want to be sure that the chain has gone...

BIG problem now!!! On my way home tonight the car cut out at around 70mph and the engine warning light came on. On attempting to re start there was a clunk and engine seemed to lock up. The coil light is also flashing and I have the codes P1065 P2004 and P0360. The AA man seemed to think my...

Ok, so I'm trying to get the car fixed a little at a time, as it's in use 7 days a week and I can't afford to have in a garage for a few days getting everything done. My plan is to work at the engine and once I'm confident that it's gonna last I'll spend the money fixing the other niggles. The...

Well, I've just had a more thorough look/listen by removing the engine cover and applying a 'listening tube' (tin pipe with one end in your ear and the other on the suspect item). The good news is there isn't any undue noise from the cam chain, the bad news is at least 3 of the injectors sound...

Ok, so I had a better look at the car tonight and prognosis doesn't look too good. I think the rattling noise is timing chain and it's still running quite rough. Looking at the exhaust manifold, I can't see or hear an obvious blow, but there is some soot signs and some smell of exhaust, plus the...

Thanks Ebod, a nice comprehensive reply, though to do the injectors, chain, manifold and all the other bits and pieces is starting to get a bit pricey! I'll do some checking and listening and post back later.

Nope, other than a few stone chips on the bonnet, the listed faults and a few other things (noisy wheel bearing, worn rear discs) you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a done 50K. It's an Executive too, so plenty of kit. Not bad considering Balmer Lawn have an '06 on the forecourt for £9000+ and...

Hi, as per my intro, my 2004 CDTI tourer now has 212,000 miles on the clock and it's clear that it needs some love. I'm looking to do most of the work myself, but may opt to put it in to a diesel specialist or Honda for some of the work. I live only 3 miles from Balmer Lawn Honda, so that might...
