| Sold : C5 HDi90 LX hatch 2002 | |
I know its not FF related but thought someone might be after a cheap work hack or know someone that is 
Reason for sale is that I have been offered another car that i'd love to buy and sell and i need the driveway space of two cars to house it so this and the XM I just bought are up for grabs 
Well as i've said before its time to let this one go.

LONG DETAILS
Its been my dads car since 2008 and its never wanted for anything mechanically.
Its a 2 owner car.
Has approx 10months MOT and will come with n tax as its in the disabled class.
Its had oil and filter services every 6k and while i have no receipts or stamps to prove this you can listen to the engine and know its been well looked after.
Last year it had the alternator replaced as well as aux and cambelts.
The power steering pump is slightly noisy at high revs but has been checked and is just the way it is.
The LDS fluid was flushed out when i replaced the rear passenger strut for the MOT and the strut boot as well.
Its had pads this year for the front and back.
Has new front tyres on and the rears have some life left in them but will need replacing within about 5k
Has SX alloy wheels
AC is ICE cold and works, as do all electrical items on the car.
I serviced it just last week with a full filter kit and oil.
The engine is VERY smooth when running and quiet compared to most.
The steering wheel is worn but there aren't many non-leather steering wheel C5's that aren't worn at this age.
It drives and handles as it should, although a front wheel needs rebalancing if you go over 70mph.
It returns an honest 50mpg without trying and has dipped below this on only one tank for me when it towed a car back home for me.
Its got a towbar and single electrics.
The first owner had this fitted for a small trailer to take stuff to and from his allotment and my dad never used it. I have used it 3 times to move cars and the car coped admirably with little stress.
The engine cover is removed as is the undertray but both are provided and have only been removed to make servicing easier.
For its age it is in pretty good condition bar the scrape on the drivers side rear someone left me with one day. The door still closes, opens and seals as it should and shouldn't be much to repair.
The car had very little mileage when my dad bought it, circa 40k and he has put the rest on with some help from me
Its not a fast speedy car or a big torquey engine but it pulls without complaint even when towing and just gets on with the job. I have no doubt it will easily do the same mileage my other HDi's have done if the servicing is kept up with (230k & 270k the others had done when i sold them)
Being an LX you only get,
CD/Radio
Electric and heated door mirrors
Electric front windows
Air Conditioning
ABS
Hydractive 3 Suspension
Some pictures are here but here is one from the front drivers side below as well.
The picture of the drivers side rear damage is with the drivers door slightly ajar incase anyone is wondering, and the dash picture showing the current mileage shows the odo as i reset it on every tank full to give an indication of what can be expected from a 60litre tank full which works out about 10litres per 100miles or more.

The car has never let me down and never stranded me on the side of a road. I know I'll regret selling it for this fact alone but i have an itch that must be scratched  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
