I asked him :-) He knows it's had a new engine, but the garage told him it came out of an earlier Xantia. Says it's got no A/C either - I thought all facelifted cars had A/C? He's also saying he's selling it becuase it's surplus, but then talking about swapping it for something else. Very curious. It's definitely a wrong 'un...
AND, he wants £1650 for it apparently!!!!

When I asked him a Q on the first auction he claimed no knowledge at all of the engine being wrong. Interestingly he didnt post the Q on the listing - but posted all the others....

That intercooler looks like it's been well fitted with good sealing rubber against the bonnet. it would work exceptionally well.................................... IF THEY'D PUT THE BLOODY SCOOP IN THE BONNET IT REQUIRES Image Image Image
It's a dead end at the moment and will do nothing other than HEAT the incoming air due to heat soak of the (sealed) intercooler from the bonnet.
My guess is it had the bonnet scoop, but someone installed a new bonnet to get rid of the scoop.

Obvious engine swap, lazy devils didnt bother to swap the inlet manifold, I wonder what else they were too stupid to swap?#

Me too, and he gave me the same cock & bull story!
Funny how he's not put any of our questions on the listing isn't it [;)]

'Ringer' springs to mind. Just confirms my belief that ebay is full of scammers.

I dont think its fair to say that about ebay members,i have had much success buying and selling on ebay you just need to be a bit careful thats all as there are some real bargains to be had[;)]Dont bid without going to look at it first[:0]
