Which Engine (kinda new car thread but not :P )

[Toms306]

tom what happend to the Avensis ?

It got sold about a month after I bought it lol....

What's wrong with the Hdi. Price delivered to my door?
















But seriously, price complete?

Ok, deep breath

MOT and tax are up at the end of March (expensive tax due to year)

MOT fails -

Wheel bearing
Exhasut snapped just after cat
Rusty hole in NSR arch
OSR seatbelt won't retract
Airbag light (intermittent, despite 'fixing' seat wires)
Possible beam camber (scrubs with a load in, but cant tell how far the beams gone yet tbh)
Handbrake doesn't hold well - although I think its still above the 16% requirement - has new cables but I think one of the calipers is 'dodgy'.
Number plate light only works if you whack the tailgate - I think its the tailgate loom broken

Other issues/annoyances -

Turbo sounds like a police car
Clutch slipping a lot now, juddery when pullingaway and release bearing whines, and the bite point moves as the cable is knackered
Blower motor barely works due to a wiring fault
Most of the dash is broken/loose wiring/missing fixings - from a very poor heater matrix change I guess
Aux belt squeals (new belt and tensioner, possibly a bad pulley)
No cambelt history and on 121k
Hunts constantly at idle
Jumps throughout the rev range (possibly a sensor but I'd guess injector fault)
Tracking is about a mile out
Steering ram has no cover and as such is now scratched up, possibly cause no issues though
No rear exhaust heatshield - but thats irrelevant as theres no exhaust gas there now anyway lol
Oil leak from turbo retun line
Water 'disappears' but cant find a leak, unless the gaskets going but thats unlikely on a HDi afaik


So really you can see it's not worth anything but scrap. So I'll take my bits off it and sell any 'good' parts (that wont take long lol) but also saves me putting it back to standard if I just break it.

Wouldn't take less than £550 for it (standard) due to how much it owes me (lost more on this than a £2400 Golf so far lol).
