The Old Bloke Next Door Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nice one! *On the Transit, I mean. The Tranny is used as a mobile shed. Volvo. *hnnng* I loves my 940. More girl-in-petrol-station picz reqd. I was aiming my phone at the petrol can, must pay more attention to fit females. Nice neighbours. Watch out for any mechanical grabs popping over the wall and having it away. Stainless steel scrap yard has deterred any thieves climbing over the back wall to date.

warren t claim Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Bump! I'm off to look at an 03 plate 1.6 Carisma Elegance for a friend tomorrow. It's got a weird spec of full leather but keep fit rear windows. Will it have the GDI economy engine and is there any particular faults to look for?

Ben_L Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 If it's a GDi, make sure its running perfectly. There was some hoo har about the GDi only liking VPOWER or Premium Unleaded. Not sure how true it is, but they seem to burn oil if they're not meticulously cared for. Tread with caution, any signs of abuse or neglect could indicate imminent trouble. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Excellent car for the money, huge bargain and well bought. Not a bad looking motor really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren t claim Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 An 03 plated family saloon with sensible miles for £350 must be good news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Elegance with poverty spec rear windows is surprisingly common on Carismas. Check all the usual places for rust, particularly on cars with sill trims.Other than that I'm not aware of any major vices and they're a surprising nice drive.Edit; Apart from the GDI stuff.
