Breaking A 1997 Blue 2.0i S40 CD

Hi,

This car will be for breaking in the next few weeks, me and Gatos will be breaking it together when he gets the time.

Aside from the exhaust blowing, the cruise control switch not functioning and a few scratches on the bodywork everything works as it should so everything is available for breaking!

Fully loaded CD edition, 17" Wolfrace alloys (paint defects, needs refurb) with Pirelli runflat and Dunlop tyres, heated charcoal leather interior, assumed to be a sports model judging by the exterior sport trims (I believe sport models have a different suspension setup, exhaust backbox's and trims around the wheel arches, as pictured.) Interior in v/good condition with the only wear on the drivers seat.

Vadis has failed me again :D

That's a nice shiny knob for someone!
Also I am still still interested in the front suspension if the top mounts aren't shot. Really only need nearside but if it is uprated I'd take the pair.
Cheers

Is the driver's side front foglight decent and, if so, available please?

ok, I'll have the knob ;-)

list of other things that I'd like if the price is OK

if the tail lights are OK, still need those
radio antenna
floor mats
... and the drivers seat looks OK too...

Now solved from elsewhere, I think.

1) Taillights available. The bulbs where changed a few months back too.
2) There is no antenna on the car. I could source one off another S40, but you will have to wait a few weeks.
3) Mats are available but they are not originals. They are aftermarket heavy duty mats.
4) Heated driver seat is available.

Will check but won't be available for another few weeks. I'm waiting on Gatos to become available as we'll be power breaking the car in a single afternoon then scrapping it.

You seem to have a MY2000 which could possibly be a phase 1.5. I've heard suspension components can not be interchanged between phases. Best bet would be to check which phase you have first :thumbs_up:
