Hi all
Not been on here for a while but am looking to offload my 2006 2.5si as a winter project. I bought the car in Sept 2017, ran it through to September 2018 when it has been laid up. I MOT'd it late last year and the test was abandoned as the car started to heat up on the ramp. Never had a singe issue through the heat wave we experienced that summer! There is a thread on here about the potential cause which could be rectified for pence if you know what you are doing. The car will need a new brake line over the petrol tank due to corrosion and a new set of headlamp bulbs (apparently they flicker currently). There is a thread on here about a suspected timing chain issue which goes to ten pages - I spent £1200 when I first bought the car trying to resolve the issue which I identified the night I bought my new toy home - new chain tensioner, timing chain kit, two new cam hubs later - all genuine new parts but the mechanic could not solve the problem. I ran the car that summer with no issues except for the noise which was audible at low revs.
The car is clean, done 61,735 miles, inspection not due for another 13000 miles. Grey with light leather interior, heated seats, cup holders, roof motor relocated to boot and works off key - visually it looks nice.
What is it worth as a project? It must be worth £2k in parts... Would consider any decent offer - I stand to lose a shed load of money here but Mrs wants rid or is threatening to turn it into a large plant pot! Not posted anywhere else - thought I would give Z4 fans here first bite.
I can email pics etc if anyone is interested. Cheers all.
