I still have that Citroen c5 kicking around if anyone wants to fire me a cheap offer
Going to have my 2009 Citroen C5 2 litre HDI up for sale soon, bought it about 2.5 years ago as a stop gap motor and my dad ended up using it for about a year.

MOT until October, 98k miles (I think need to double check)

Got it off an old couple with more battle scars than a tank in Baghdad. It could have only 1 previous owner need to check logbook.

DPF/Anti Pollution light is on, it cut out on me a couple of times as if I conked out but started up no bother.

Passenger mirror doesn’t always fold out when it’s unlocked

Decent service history and old MOT certs. Also have receipt for timing belt at around 60k miles.

Do someone for a runabout, I need to scrub it this week and get photos.

Price: Bag of sand for anyone on RMS before I get hounded for swaps for dogs or PlayStations

Gonna shift on my old E46, always thought someday I'll use it again but I won't. 2005 320cd, 130k, usually E46 back arches. Clutch release bearing was rattling, but tbh it was rattling from the day I bought it in 2019. Hasn't turned a wheel in well over a year and is covered in green crap now. But I plan on cleaning it. That was it when it was clean a few years ago.

Had this out today to wash it, with the other half’s car sorted and mot’d, it’s really not getting much use now. @purplea4T has dibs to look at it, if we can sort a time that suits. 🤣

Not really sure I want to let it go.. but it’ll prob be advertised soon. Few small issues to sort, noisy wheel bearing and eml has come on for the cat. Could just be with it sitting about for a bit. 🤦‍♂️ have a bit of time next week to get it sorted. But other than that it drives really well.

I swap you it for a Dacia sandero that has absolutely no engine problems at all 🤣

Anyone interested in this Swift Sport? £1850.

Just passed MOT.

100k miles.

Recently had the following:

- 2 new front Eagle F1 tyres
- Full set of discs and pads
- Full service - filters and fluids
- New springs all around
- 2 rear wishbone bushings
- ABS sensor
- Hand brake cable
- Windscreen washer pump
- New battery

Simply not being used enough by us and I know it'll sit and gather dust until next MOT in 12 months.

What roughly would be the real world mpg on this for bombing down the motorway?
