MK1 Octavia 1.8t 4x4 Elegance Estate 2001 51 plate Price reduced

[ruffday]

Well the time has come to sell the old workhorse.

Been a very good car in the couple of years I have owned it and never had any issues.

Bit rough around the edges some rust blobs and scuffs interior the same with scuffs on the door cards etc.

This car been a workhorse/fishing bus. But practical and presentable.

 

Really needs a battery. It has a brand new huge leisure battery fitted but the end cell has a crack and leaked but starts fine and holds charge.

 

Metallic green with grey cloth in fair condition.

Usual elegance spec and everything seems to be working. (not sure about headlamp washers)

Electric windows, sunroof, dual zone climate ( nice and cold) etc.

O/S rear door lock not working on remote will need looking at.

No stereo and drivers connector has been chopped by previous keeper.

Suspension a bit soft.

O/S rear Caliper a bit sticky.

Bit of a whine when cold. Never checked it out poss aux belt/pulley.

 

Now the really good points.

124,000 miles with loads of history and bills.

Cam belt kit with water pump and coolant done 23/01/14 @ 121,000 miles.

Coil pack recall done 07/02/14

Very good engine and box pulls well and no smoke.

4x4 works as it should

4 good tryes

Towbar

 

 

Before I bought it looks like it had new discs and pads on the front as well as a new N249 valve fitted.

 

MOT until Sept but on a SORN.

Viewing and collection from Sheffield

 

It is what it is a rough and ready workhorse sold as runner or spares.

 

Price reduced to £500.
