So guys, I've done it. I've done with the C5 and resolved to buy the ultimate mistake - a 2.7 HDi C6 Exclusive with a knocking engine, as it turns out, it's a bit scarier in real life that the Bburago model on top of my PC! I will be re-building this car's engine as it is very very rare here, gorgeous, lowish mileage and not very rusty - the price was not great but cheap enough, so I pulled the trigger! The car still runs fine but is knocking - not as violently (yet) as the C5 with the DMF but still significant. I am doing my research of course but will need some advice. I have another C6 lined up with a good bottom end. I'm hoping I can put both halves together and make a good engine, but that's to come after copious research and a bit of money hopefully! LR time will be my first port of call (for the millionth time)
When I arrived with it on the trailer I had had the windows open. When I tried putting the driver's one up it went bit-by-bit and did seat but after opening it again to back it in it went bit-by-bit but didn't fully seat and stopped responding. Now I *hope* something hasn't failed, but I hear the anti-pinch may need resetting after a battery off-on (again). Is this common behaviour on these, why would it have gone up mostly the first time but started bit by bit then stopped? Like I say I'm very very new to this beautiful but scary car. It's currently wrapped in cling-film and tarp in the POURING rain - of course that had to happen didn't it! Back ones went fine, front one was going but still not 100% then stopped
Any input appreciated - I hope to get to it tomorrow!
