Description
Regrettable sale but I need an SUV. I have owned the car for the past 2 years and covered 30K miles in it, it's fantastic! The car is modified including 4 bar MAP sensor, EGR delete, swirl flap delete running on the stock CP1 R85 fuel pump. The car makes 320 bhp / 720 nm of torque and is seriously quick for its age. 6MT run 4.9 sec 0-60 at this power. I'm also running the powerflex street transmission mount which does make the gears a bit firm but it fixes a lot of slop from the OE trans mount. Also running 19" Rotors genuine. Every service and repair on this car has been carried out by myself and I have paperwork for all items. In my ownership I have replaced the following Trans mount and performance mods (as above), 3 CV axles, 3 wheel bearings, two coil springs, 1 shock (latest MOT), 1 wheel speed sensor, AC pressure switch, tail light circuit board (and fixed leak) all new brakes (brembos front and rear) 4 new tyres (2 Toyo PS2 on rear)(2 Hankook Ventus S1 evo on front), serviced the transmission with OE oil from Darkside, coolant flush, underbody seal on the sills and rear sub frame, new battery, fuel filter, regular service items. The engine is solid on this car - since the EGR delete isn't pumping all the soot back in; the internals are clean as a whistle (I've attached a photo of one of the intake valves from when I cleaned the manifold to show it's condition - genuinely doesn't look like a car with 190K) The car is high milage but runs like a dream and is used for me to commute to work on the motorway (I never travel short distances) I would be very wary of low milage diesels that are this old. Car is fully loaded with full MMI heated wingmirrors, lane change assist (doesn't work though), adaptive cruise with radar and loads more. Onto the bad bits, front right has rust repair and is slightly pitted. The TOB has makes a slight tapping sound when the clutch is fully depressed but has been doing this for 2 years and has been fine. The brake pad light is on the dash as the sensor is faulty. Usual age related stonechips and a couple chips in windscreen but is expected with age. Front lower control arms flagged on MOT but there is no play so I haven't replaced. Please don't expect to turn up and see a brand new car - it is from 2008. Private plate is not included for sale (and has been removed) the car will sell with the REG AO08 VRL. 2 keys. Year long MOT. Recent full service. Next MOT due 09/10/2025, Full service history, Black, 4 owners, £3,600
