D Spares & Tyres Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 This beauty is up for grabs 1.9 diesel. Good engine. Drives well enough for a 200k mile nail but its way past its best. No MoT, can't be bothered to clean it up and flog it I'm going to rip the engine and a few other bits out then weigh it in. Would sell complete for £175 or can post bits.

DSdriver Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The aircon compressor on my 93 floppytop with pezzer engine has bearings fubarred. Is there any likelyhood that yours will have the same unit? The garage just put a shorter belt on to take it out of the equation in case it seized, broke the belt and took the camshaft with it.

D Spares & Tyres Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Possibly the same, although I doubt it! I'll let you know when I remove the engine. By the way, I have some early DS parts for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Swap for my Sterling and some ££s your way? Probably not and it sounds a bit desperate but I wouldn't mind cleaning it up myself and offering to Mother_Sterling as a Micra replacement.

Switching to Econ gets rid of the whine. Is it in danger of dying and doing damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs an proper EGR repair rather than the ingenious bodge it currently has ( XUD injector wedged in it and sealed up with glue ) I reckon the DMF is on the way out too, there is an unconsistant rattling noise on tickover.not that bad yet but reckon its an early warning of impending doom in the clutch department?

Lord Sterling Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yeah, I think I'll give it a miss. If I had the money I'd happily get it sorted. I doubt Ma wants to spend anymore on another car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Spares & Tyres Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Its not worth spending money on. You can get a tidy one with long mot for £500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Spares & Tyres Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Some parts gone, rest of car still here. It has new rear calipers and all pixel displays work fine by the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
