What a shed....and £2K?!

Sad thing is some poor sod, looking for a bargain or project, will buy it and the next day will be on here with a whole list problems.

His advert is inaccurate for many reasons but the ones that got me were

"Air Conditioning"....look at the HeVAC panel....
Full leather interior?....more like a third looking at seat

and non existent cruise control

It does say in the listing the EAS isn't working and you can see it is flashing up errors on the dash (not to mention the fully lit up EAS toggle). I'd have never bothering going to visit.

Don't know about these days but it used to be send the lad round to the MOT station with the log book and £50.......................................

Don't they just check for broken springs and worn bushes? You can hardly base it on being rock solid considering how many cars there are on the roads that have been ruined by kids wearing backwards hats super gluing on springs and dampers that'd be better suited to a HGV.

Broken spring is the same as collapsed airbag no?

The car is no longer "suspended" on the chassis and will fail to meet the specifications the vehicle was designed to, and so would be considered dangerous.

Same applies to number one bad boy in his saxo....alter too much from the manufacturers original design and it could be a fail as it will not handle as it was designed to.

it's clear he hasn't the time or the skills to sort the problems with this and just wants to get rid quick, listed everything the people want when looking for a Range Rover and not what is actually on the car.

He says CD multi changer - but the boot is empty?? I wouldn't want to buy one that has been driven around on test drives on its bump stops!!

But to be honest this guy could say this car was Blue in the listing I'm sure eventually someone will buy it.

I once knew a guy selling a Golf and would only have viewers in the rain as all the windows were held up with wood!! buy eventually he sold it and never heard anything from the buyer?

P38 cannot pass MOT with suspension sat on bump stops.

So we conclude the suspension's just broken, in which case probs fixable.. or some MOT station's committed a criminal offence?

I would think the former. Suspension sat on bump stops is a straight fail.
