  1. ok, we are looking at timing chain at the minute.... im dropping it down to a local specialist. would the bad injector bring on the engine management light?
  2. hi, thanks for this. i have the exact same car but auto also in stock, and they sound totally different. it sounds absolutely dreadful the one in question in comparison
  3. why would the gearbox be making a noise if the car is static? also the engine really jumps about when you start the car!
  4. hi tradex, rev and 3000 rpm and hold, deep tractor noise, dip clutch, changes noise but to a different pitch..... release clutch, still deep rumbling noise..... mate, it sounds like a flywheel out of shape but its all been changed.....
  5. gents i have a merc e250 estate "manual" 2010 CDI with 130k on it. when it came in, when revving, it sounded like a tractor..... typical dual mass fly wheel noise. noise when you dip the clutch etc etc spoke to about 10 people and all said flywheel which i predicted. £1100 deep and we are still no further along! noisy when revving, even louder if you dip the clutch in and out why holding the revs at 3000 rpm. clutch, flywheel and release bearing all changed, but engine is still shaking its bollox off!!! engine mounts all fine! is there anywhere else i need to be looking??? at a loss.
  6. Use a card machine to close a deal all day long. If they say they will do a deposit when they get home you won’t see them again.
  7. Payment sense. Money in 3 days and only 0.3%
  8. I’ve just put in a clutch and flywheel on an e250 merc and guess what, £1200 down and mis diagnosed.... oh and the car is still vibrating it’s bollox off lol suck it up and move on.
  9. This guy is pulling everyone’s leg, probably a spotty old man in his vest sitting in front of his pc in his bedroom still living at his moms
  10. I have sold LOADS of high mileage Audi’s- I’ve just sold a merc e250 estate 2009 manual for £7000 with 130k miles on it within 14 days. audi A6 lemans absolutely fly off the shelves also.
  11. cheers mate, sutton have been the best value by far.
  12. yes but is it 111k miles though yours is under priced mate.
  13. does anyone have a decent supplier for timing chain kits and cambelt kits? not just for minis but on this occasion it is.
  14. E250 merc cdi - absolutely awesome for £8k 11 plate - I have just the car for you - it’s immaculate and drives fantastic https://www.villagecarsessex.co.uk/single-car.php?ID=138
  15. i am sorry to hear that, for the record, i will not be buying another auto electricians..... all they seem to do is take a wild guess, and charge you £60 for the pleasure of telling you what it could be. and not exactly what it is.
  16. Suddenly I’m having a great month - 12 plate fiesta auto gone, now the 3008 gone on finance as well lol. Who would of wrote it. Just for the record 3008 are good news
  17. dairy lee chocolates????? dairy lee is cheese!!
  18. Haha, ive had someone all over mine since Friday. And another guy just came in and I gave him a finance quote on it - Hopefully original guy coming down today to test drive and take the beast away.
  19. Must of had 7-8 calls today, more than the last fortnight put together - first weekend after the school holidays. Only 1 away today but a fair amount of viewings, calls, walk ons etc. Looking forward to the rest of the month if it carries on at this rate
  20. Tradewise are underwritten by covea - Being a new trader it’saways expensive, mine was £2k but now I have a forecourt I should imagine it will jump next year
  21. If you are buying private and the log book isn’t in the correct / name address then walk away immediately - you don’t have a leg to stand on.
  22. I have 2 kids, and to be fair it costs me £60 everytime i leave the front door in the school holidays lol
  23. Please leave my 3008 out of this, it is Not the route of the problem here lmao
  24. We are on an extremely busy road and high visibility. Next door to to one of the largest used dealers in essex. Crazy Dead. We are in Rayleigh, Essex.
  25. Only sold 1 this month which is a decent deal but....... It is absolutely dead here. no phone calls. very few walk ons. I can understand being quiet on forecourt, but the phone isnt even ringing. i have literally just rung it to see if it is working.
