Another 1.9 `turbo` diesel, where are they all coming from

Too many miles tho and looks to have had a hard life, you would be far better off buying a classic TRS for that money!

Queried it and the listing now advises:

On 05-Jul-06 at 19:35:15 BST, seller added the following information:

After having it pointed out to me that the turbo engines are 1.7 and not 1.9 I had a friend look at the motor and he told me that it DOESN'T have a turbo so it is in fact a normally aspirated 1.9 diesel

Cheeky sod's still kicking off at £50 though

Okay I admit it, couldn't resist and and got this one too...... for the princely sum of £56.99. Deffo worth it, 4 new matching tyres (budget?), newish spheres all round (except accumulator), quarter tank of 75 percent veg oil mix, new windscreen, a working and RUSTFREE sunroof, that must be a first!
Engine is mucky but doesn't drip all over the place. Strangely with that mileage (214200 miles) the interior is immaculate and the engine pulls as well as one half that. Clutch and gearbox are good no untoward noises from wheel bearings, cv joints or anything else. Fan works, heater works albeit from an adapted cable to the tap.

THE BAD BITS .......... rear silencer bracket has snapped so exhaust hangs slightly and umm errr hmmm ....... can't think of anything else

The usual dings, scratches oh and some strange rust by the seam running up the wheel arch, seen as you open the rear door. Actually it seems to have been welded at some stage but seem rusty again.

haven't been under it yet so it's early days with regard to MOT, so far though it looks as though previous owner just couldn't be assed (his words not mine)
