Project Blacky 2

[merc85]

Well, picked her up today, Nice having a car that starts for a change, She has a few issues which i can sort easily.

Abs Light (poss pump)
Turbo Return seal
Grey Smoke on boost (Cat broken up inside) plugs not fouled
Pcv in desperate need
Damaged Drivers door around lock(some scumbag tried to break in)

Interior Mint, Columbas wheels mint. Drives very quiet and nice positive steering so much better than my Red one as it was to light.
Engine feels very fit and the car came with a Ecu for a Manual T5r Mileage 137k with history upto 123k Clutch and rear main done at 80k (bill to prove)

I'm going to sort the issue of the cat and oil leak, ive replaced the maf also, Pcv will also be done asap. Then drive her and make sure she's all good for tuning.

Finger's crossed, she looks to be in good shape alround, Here a pic after i got her back to my Unit

All the car has done for since 2011 is potter around cambridge, 1st time i booted it the smoke poored out but then got less and less on the drive home aprox 80 miles, fingers crossed a good service deleting the cat and pcv will sort it. even got 32.9mpg on they way back to

Red one cant be trusted im afraid, and i will be working solid on the black one as soon as my Back is better, Got lots and lots to transfer, wife says the red one has to go asap. Good in a way as ive quite a bit of scrap to weigh in.
