That's old smokey Y217WDM

Don't get me wrong, it is beautiful to drive, pulls like a train & interior is mint, new tyres etc. But it burnt 5 litres of oil in 500 miles - perhaps it was 2 stroke?

Car was getting worse, problems starting &the engine starting to knock when cold.... SO TRADED IT WITH ANOTHER DEALER for a nice SAAB turbo 185bhp :-)

And the wait goes on... :(

Trader is now looking for a cheap engine....

1st stage of the small claims court form filled in ready... So mr R&A Cars of Wolves, you have 24 hours to call me, tick tock tick tock ....

Only code stored was Crank Position Sensor! Any ideas???

Having just read all this, I'm hoping not to have this much hassle!

The main man with the purse is back off holiday on sunday & I've been told to expect a phone call on monday, so we'll see... also, I only mentioned the B4204T3 as this was the only engine Salvo had...

Ok, for the second time last night I had the engine management & traction control lights on together!

Still waiting.... :frown:

Update:

My wife managed to get hold of the trader & explained the situation, crafty mare rang him from her work phone, so it didn't do go to his answermachine! We'll see what happens next after...

Salvo quoted £395 for the T3 variant which I belive is 165bhp so if I've gotta spend that sort of cash & still have to strip & swap bits, would it not be cheaper to rebuild what I've already got?

Decoded my VIN and found my engine code B4204T5 but you all probably knew that anyway. Will have to nurse it thru the next few weeks to get some overtime in!:(
