AMC Rebel Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 My sister in her inimitable style asked for advice on replacing this then ignored my advice. It's now at my house pending sale so I said I'd offer it on here. 2006 56 reg 110K miles New turbo last year - with associated oil feed pipework etc to avoid it going again in 10 mins. Decent tyres all round MOT until October next year Front leccy windaz and leccy mirraz (all working). Working original AM/FM single CD radio CK56 BKD for the MOT history - which you will see is pretty decent all round. I changed the front drop links last year. There are only two things I can think of that are downsides - The message centre shows a brake fault occasionally (it's always after you hit a bump). It clears itself after one or two restarts and can be (and usually is) months before it does it again. It has been doing this so long we're pretty sure it's a spurious warning (nothing dire has actually happened and the brakes work fine). Can't photo this as it's not doing it at the moment. Aircon inoperative and we tried the "just a regas" - it does work but then it all leaks out again after a few weeks. All in all, I really like this car but I don't need it - it drives spot on, rides really nicely and pulls well, especially with the new turbot. I will take moar (some) pictures in the morning when it's not so dark. Currently residing on my drive LE12 5 mins from J23 M1
DaveDorson Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I was in one of these at the weekend. Made me think I'd be sensible to purchase one, as they're relatively nippy and do move you about in a degree of comfort. It'd be an ideal commuter. LE12 postcode can't be there far from me either.

Supernaut Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 A 56 reg car with a year of MOT for £300?! Get out of town! That's a bargain despite it being the inferior 307 (306 for life yo) and the mildly chocolatey 1.6 HDi (compared to the old 2.0 8 valve). It's unbelievably grot-free looking too! Maybe I'm just not used to that being in Scotland and near the coast. GLWTS! oldcars, rantingYoof and AMC Rebel 3
DaveDorson Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I've PM'd you, I reckon this might be a suitable WBOD while I sort out the issues with my fleet.
