Hi All...

Right. Black Onyx Turbo TCT, as some will know had quite some work done to her. Replacement engine, Strut tops, new Auto box fluid, new oil, filter, cam belt and water pump. Replacement spheres on the front, also a new exhaust middle section and sideways box. Back box has a blow, but Ive another back box somewere Ill chuck in with the car.

Theres also an LPG Injection kit fitted on the car, ALL there, just need to sort the electric side out.

All windows work, though the rear drivers side one is quite slow and needs a helping hand to moove, not sure why.. all tyres are good, just passed MOT, so theres about 11 months MOT. Subject to TAX ready to drive away. I CAN tax her too.

Starts well, starter sticks sometimes, suspension quite quick to come up.

Gearbox is wonderfully smooth.. smoothest Ive driven, no issues at all from what I can see.

Sunroof, of course does NOT work... and Ive also had to wire a manual switch for the cooling fans..

YES the arm rest IS an adjustible Electric one...

Bearing in mind the things ive done, Im looking around the £550 mark for her PLUS tax...

Cheers - If nothing here, then of course, as we all do, Ebay. But I do NOT want her to got a Puggeriser, after all Ive done.

Thanks for looking

Paul

Hi Paul
Is there any chance of getting the LPG side of it back in working order? Is it just dodgy electrics or was the conversion project never finished?
Cheers
Steve

I'd have said getting the LPG working is a 'biggy'!

Just a thought - sorting out the sticky starter may also generate additional enthusiasm! :D
It's certainly a very late s1.5 there Paul - don't think I've seen an M plated s1 before.

Out of interest - does the car need putting on high to get the LPG filler connected?

No Andrew, from experiance, she stays up long enough for the angled filler nozzle to fit, and even then, Id connect it upside down to the handle angled upwards....

It certainly looks low there, that's why I ask! Is the rear end sunk down a little in the pics,
especially the under view? I'm just curious to know whether the tank is quite low as I have
an L reg LPG VSX Xantia which has a massive tank under the floor in the spare wheel area.
I'm surprised yours has the spare carrier still connected! Is it just there in spirit or actually
holding the tank up!! Don't they get a bit rusty... ;)
