Just brought a 2004 1.9D Multispace Having sold the 2007 1.6 hdi in 2012 as it kept blowing turbos, not picked it up yet .It only cost me £100 has mot to March 2018 but has a noise when engaging the clutch hopefully just the release bearing .Might be a load of trouble but for the money I can always drive it to the scrapyard. Will update when I get it.

Welcome back !

Thanks Geoff handed over the money and got registration doc so its now official. it has got bumpers on the bumpers !

Well that car looks really good on the face of it !!

As you know the 1.9d is a good 'un so there is every chance it will be a good deal.

Hopefully with a new clutch kit fitted it will be OK ,I have been busy so have not had much time to have a good look ,It started really easily and the coolant looks clean so I think it will be worth spending some money on, I did notice the central locking is not working properly so I think they just got fed up with it . I will sort out the tax Tomorrow and then get her home .fingers crossed.

Did you get time off for good behaviour ?

[jimbo]

No I jumped the wall,
She made it home OK ,It all came flooding back the comfy driving position and the sweet smell of the weeping heater matrix, was a very nice drive apart from the squealing release bearing ,I made the mistake of playing with the clutch release arm with the engine running and the noise went from a slight rumble to a load of snacks and bangs as presumably what was left of the ball bearings fell out ,luckily I could still change gear,I squirted some spray grease towards the bearing and the squealing quietened so looks like I will be buying a clutch kit,
