I remember people buying these as bangers back in the early naughties and the 2.0l were pretty peppy units. Clutch is apparently slipping, but aren't these ridiculously easy to change or something? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F324035158266 IIRC, any 8V (inc. Mk3) had the ‘letter box’ between gearbox and clutch making it easy to change the latter. Hopefully, we’ll find out when @4wheeledstool finishes the Mk2 and moves on to its successor.

That car is well fit though. I think that one has been for sale on and off for months, not 100% sure, as not tracking them as much as I used to. Not sure why it has not sold.

BorniteIdentity Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Details sketchy atm but please bear with. My father is an estate agent and has instructions on a probate sale in Suffolk. There’s a Citröen Synergie in the garage which is, apparently, in very good shape. He mentioned it to me as he knows I love a cheap car and this is. The daughter would be happy with anything really. I suggest a nice donation to the family’s charity of choice would have it on your driveway. All I know atm is it’s a blue/green - a diesel - and about 90k on it. I’ll update the post with pics once he gets things moving at his end. eddyramrod, loserone, pilninggas and 12 others 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
