So the time has come for me to let this go, its been a great car for me but covering the bones of 20,000 miles a year on the motorway in it is not practical or sensible really.
I'll update this with some up to date photos when I give it a wash but this was it soon after I got it.

Currently has 135,000 miles on the clock, I've serviced it twice since I got it in April last year, Oil (Millers CFS 10w-40) and filter and also changed the gearbox oil again using Millers which was horribly expensive.
I also replaced some vaccum lines under the bonnet and other than that not really done much to it. It came with a strut brace which I removed and I had a 4" stainless rear silencer on it for a while, both of these can go with the car. I also fitted 4 brand new nexus tyres before Christmas and had the tracking done.
The Bad points:
a few little rust spots on the rear door sills but nothing serious yet
The pin in the r/h bonnet hinge is worn and rattling but I have a hinge to go on it, just haven't had the time to paint it yet.
There is a small bit of bubbling under the paint on the tailgate.
Very occasionally the check engine light comes on for a few seconds at a time, checked the code and its the MAF sensor but it seems to run fairly well so haven't bothered doing anything about it yet.
Tax is until 01-16
NCT until 03-16
I'm in work at the moment so I'll try and update this ad with a bit more information when I have time but it is what it is, nothing major wrong with it but it'll probably never be perfect either, makes a good daily driver, I'm averaging 28MPG since I got it using Fuelly to check. It is an Irish car to so no major rust issues underneath.
I'm asking €1500 which I think is fair enough, you'll be hard pressed to find one much cheaper but I am willing to listen to reasonable offers. I'm located in Meath but working in Dublin so can accommodate anybody that wants to have a look at it. If anybodys interested let me know. Thanks.
