The listing says it has a 6 speed manual gearbox and that he's had the cambelts changed. It's a diesel! Plus the registration number has been deliberately concealed and with an engine change I'd steer well clear if I were you.

Why the negativity, Simon?

It's approved and the buyer will get an extra long exhaust pipe!

Must be a Parts Bin Friday Special. 6 Speed gear box and a Cam Belt.

Must be OK though as it is "Approved"

However I would be wary of someone who advertises a car that they know nothing about.

Well spotted! Err, ... it's a single pipe chrome trim, shouldn't a diesel have twin tailpipes?

Also, is that the airbag warning light I see?

It doesn't ring true. Non-existent new cambelt and water pump and a new engine? How would it need a new engine when it's barely run in? The advertiser is either Johnson with the truth or totally incompetent.
