68500 mile 406 V6 Exec Manual in Dark Blue Metallic
MOT until August i think but will check when i get home, just had Coils replaced with new type and a new temperature sensor and the coolant bled and replaced as it had a stop message temp too high which is now all cured.
I serviced the car when i got it with the correct grade oil and OEM filters for oil air and pollen, I also replace the gearbox oil at the same time and fit a Witter Towbar to the car which may be removed.
It has had an Connects 2 Aux lead fit in place of the CD changer and it has sat nav which i have never used as i have no disc
The car mechanically is pretty much spot on, there is a slight clutch judder sometimes which i think is caused by the cheap looking slave cylinder which is fitted but it has never bothered me and doesn't slip in any gears under any load, with or without caravan.
The body work is the only thing that lets this car down, it has been reversed side on into the old owners gates at both sides, one side is an easy fix as its a door and this is a common colour and the other side on rear quarter which is the same and to the primer on the door and the quarter but not to bare metal and the car has no rust anywhere at all.
There is also a couple of little dents on the bonnet and where doors have been opened into it etcs, it is a 12 year old car at the end of the day, but easier to point it out now.
The car has recent Micheline Energy savers on the front and the rear has a budget and a older Michelin tyre on which may need changing soon.
I look after my cars and although its not in the best shape externally (through no fault of my own
) its still been washed and waxed regularly and the interior was cleaned and treated with gliptone and regularly re finished with meguiars.The interior is pretty clean, no damage anywhere, the osf door handle surround is missing for some reason, there is a small hole in the osf seat bolster which you can only see from under eye level as you get in, everything works, JBL factory amplified sound system, ac, sunroof, folding mirrors, all windows including one touch on drivers window, the only thing that doesn't is the auto wipers as the sensor isn't attached correctly from when it had a screen replaced in the past, the new screen has a small fixable chip which has never bothered me or grown so i left it.
It drives very well, it has plenty of power as you would expect which no doubt has been helped by the full stainless steel exhaust the previous owner had fitted, Cambelt was done last year and the stamps and invoices to show this are included. It also has service history provided in the service book and old receipts for repairs its had in the past.
No knocks or bangs from the suspension and it handles very well for something with such a big lump up front and its very well damped, mid corner bumps don't push it off line and its very adjustable mid corner with a lift of the throttle as long as the Stability control is turned off first.
I don't really know if i want to get rid of it but i have wanted an Activa since my Dad had one when i was young and don't really want to pass it up and if i had space this wouldn't be happening and still might not, but i'll see if anyone wants this and then go from there, i don't want to eBay it as its full of numptys and id rather someone appreciated it for its rareness and it doesn't get chopped up for some one to put the engine in a 306!
It is a very rare car, i certainly haven't seen another the same spec with such a low mileage in the time i have owned it.
Will get some pics up tonight, just thrown this together to see if i get any interest really a
I'm not sure what its worth so offers, it has been a reliable car and very rarely driven tbh as i generally use my Mini and use this for long trips only.
Let me know if I've missed anything.
Cheers
Liam
