ABS light on,

[no2lurch]

Still looking... £750 to spend

[impster]

2.0 HDI (110) '53 plate. 62K miles. Has everything apart from full leather (has half leather). Good tyres. Good condition I'd say. In mid blue metallic.

Will be for sale as soon as I get the original reg transferred back onto it, and my own plate off it (need to wait for retention document through from DVLA).

ABS light on - suspect it's a reluctor ring that's cracked (driver's side changed autumn last year). Also has a squeeky aux belt tension pulley.

Full service history, with stamps, - but I'm not one for garage servicing so last few service done by myself - all filters and oil changed every time.

New starter motor fitted last week (the cause of my mystery 'not start' problem). Runs great. Has a 406coupe strut brace. Tow bar and single electrics fitted also.

MOT until September or October I think. Car is in Machynlleth - post code SY20. About hour and half west of Shrewsbury.

Am looking to downsize to a smaller car as don't need a car this big.

Open to offers?

Pics please. The cracked thingy for the ABS... easy or expensive job?

There's a few how-tos for the reluctor ring over on the toupé, sorry, coupé club, if it's on a driveshaft then you can either get a new driveshaft, dismantle the old one, clean it up and fit a new ring, or you could clean it up in situ, carefully cut the ring in half and fit it with epoxy.

cost £50 to get the drivers one done in the Autumn by a local garage - inclusive of new reluctor ring, labour and VAT.

Will get some photos up when the weather improves!

Car has 63K on the clock, not 62K sorry.

Not sure what it's worth really, low milage, good overall condition, 2 fairly new tyres at the rear, 2 front tyres approx 14 months old, new starter motor last week, new battery as well just before Xmas.

Rough price?

[impster]

MOT till middle of August by the way.

Price?! damn this is where it gets tricky.

I suppose I'm open to offers, bearing in mind the ABS light is on. I'm in no hurry to get it fixed but of course it will need doing for MOT. I suspect it's the cracked passenger side reluctor ring that's causing the light to come on (drivers side ring needed replacing last year and it cost £50 to get done).

I'd describe it in good condition - remarkable condition for a car that's 11 years old in fact - but then again it's only 63K miles on the clock.

It has everything bar heated seats (hence half, not full leather) - prat nav, electric seats (not heated of course), electric folding mirrors, air-con (so no sunroof), 6 cd changer in boot, cassette player (remember cassettes?), automatic lights, automatic wipers, front fogs, alloys, ski hatch in the back seat.

Cleans up really well, and it's that nice shade of blue - not the usual dark peugeot blue - more of a mid indigo blue metallic.

I should be getting my new registration docs from DVLA within a week or two so I'm hoping the original registration number will be re-applied to the vehicle (I've had my own plate on the car since I bought it 3 years ago with 48K on the clock).

Not sure what it's worth, but it's a good car, not been hammered, and has been looked after very well. Maybe a few members on this site can give an indication of value????

Terrible photo in the rain, and car not been washed for 2 weeks. It 'gleams' when I wash, polish and wax it.

[jonsowman]

If it provides a useful point of reference, I paid £1500 3 months ago for my Coupe, also 62k on the clock (at the time) and with a failed reluctor ring. Full service history and bodywork excellent.

It's a 2.2HDi and a Coupe though, both of which inflate the price a bit.

Still looking... I think impsters car will be out of my £750 budget.
