For Sale Saab convertible with clattery engine

[michael1703]

I bought a saab 900 convertible because the sun was shining and thought I'd sell it in the summer for OMG millionzzz, but I can't be arsed. I paid £275 for it so would like something like that....

 

Despite rattle in engine it drives OK, you can get an engine on ebay from £100-£275 so it's still worth doing, they're an £850-£1750 car in summer.

 

It's blue, it's an auto and the roof goes pop at the touch of a button.

 

Car is in Wickham market in Suffolk

Can you define "clattery"?

 

Talbot Horizon?

Mk1 Fiesta?

9" coach bolts in a washing machine?

Skellington wanking in a metal dustbin while rolling down a hill?

 

Could you just live with it or is FTP imminent?

Would that be Chris Skellington?

[michael1703]

I've driven it about 30 miles and its been OK, but it's a bit ticky tocky

[SiC]

Sump sludging? If so, needs to be cleaned asap to prevent killing.

Is it a turbo ?

[michael1703]

Non turbo 2 litre. I've not had time to look at it or even flush the oil

[sierraman]

It's had an advisory on an old mot to say it wanted 2 litres of oil adding before the test, that's probably why it sounds like that.

[Tetleysmooth]

Would it be worth making a video-with sound obvs, and post it on here?

[DodgeRover]

Possibly but possibly not as mics pick up and distort sound sometimes to the extent a quiet engine can sound like it's crackered

[michael1703]

I'll see if I can get a clip of it

[michael1703]

Bump, anybody?

[Inspector Morose]

What, accident damage as well as the clattery engine?

[Lankytim]

Is this BV72s old one?

[Richard]

.

[Lankytim]

And it was a turbo too, this one seems more repairable I think, at least it drives!

[michael1703]

Raffle at £5per ticket if enough interest

[Bobthebeard]

No, that was a manual and I think it went to Bob the Beard.

It was a manual indeed.

But I didn't buy it. To much hassle and potential expense really....
