My D4 is on a 62 plate and is 6 speed with the retracting dial type gear selector.
I always though all retracting dials were 8 speeds?

Tbh vendor sounds like a right toss to deal with, just imagine what may happen if you have a warranty issue!

I'd look elsewhere TBH.
This particular D4 sounds like a bit of a shed.
Oh and the propshaft centre bearing normal passes the MOT because its hidden by a heat shield, which the MOT tester isn't allowed to remove in the test. They simply put a note on the certificate saying covers fitted, hiding some components.
Plenty out there for sale though, so best look for another.

I think you should have a quick slide underneath as I am genuinely interested, whipprsnapper like you wont take two minutes.

The 3 and the 4 both snap their cranks, they didn't really address any of the reliability issues with the D4 over the D3. The 8 speed is superb everything that can go wrong will go wrong. We have been running a D3 for a while now for the same reason, dogs and family bus you cannot beat it. Did a trip to the new forest x5 adults, dogs and roof box all in comfort.
