Re: MK2 turbo sunday 5th dec N*** PUD on m25
Hey Pete
That sounds like the turbo I went and looked at about this time last year. It was in Kent and going for £6500, registered as a 96 rev4. It wasn't. At all! Luckily for me Bryan came along and steered me away from it. From what I remember, the exhaust was shot, the BOV was shot, there was a BC but no sign of a controller, used to have a roll cage as there were holes in the floor, had at somepoint fully rebuilt rear end, and, thats about it! Did a chassis check and I think it was a late 93.
I'm pretty sure it was the same one. N reg with pud as the last 3 letters.
Hope they're not on here trying to sell the car

Hi Pete,
That car was on the Kent Coast run with us this year. It was metallic blue resprayed (originally white). The bloke who bought it was sold it as a rev 3 but it was a rev 2. Think he was happy with it, though I wouldn't have been.

I wish you had bought that car in Kent N*** PUD then Iwouldnt have been able too!! I never realised that you could easily falsify the date of registration documents to knock years off a cars age. Since I bought that car last year I managed to get 3 weeks use out of it before it span one of the con rod bearings and has never run properly since. Is now on its second engine rebuild this time for a cracked piston. Have also just had the turbo rebuilt and the exhaust manifold is cracked so if anyone has a rev 3 one kicking around Im interested. On a plus and there is very few plus's with this car once I reconnected the boost contoller and fixed the dump valve it went really well. Luckily I also paid alot less than 6500 but I wish I had walked away as well as it has certainly cost me a lot more since then. After I have finished this rebuild the engine should be good (Forge pistons now) My experience is testiment to never by a car with little history and at night from a lesbian looking woman with a house full of animals.
My ambition in life at the moment is to go to an MR2 meeting in an MR2!!
