850 T5 96 Auto For Sale, good engine etc.

[benedict]

Hello - I joined a while ago but never actually got round to posting as all my questions were answered by searching / browsing (including the ABS ECU repair which saved me much hassle/money )

As per the title, I'm now selling my 850 T5 Saloon.
The MOT runs out mid May and given the issues (see below) I think it may be better suited to breaking for the engine / box / turbo / rad etc rther then keeping on the road. Whatever the case, I'm open to offers and located in Leicester (M1 J21)

Originally Hampshire Constabulary training car
White.
197k miles
T5 engine still feels / sounds excellent, car still goes like rocket
Automatic gearbox
New radiator (integral oil/atf coolers) 6 months ago
ABS Good (ABS ECU repaired as per method elsewhere on forum)
remanf starter motor last year
T5 wheels with good fullsize spare
Blue interior / half leather seats

Issues: (which is why it may well suit if you're looking for engine etc):
Some vibration under braking from n/s front
Passenger window does not open
Crack in bottom of windscreen on passenger side.

I'll get some pictures up when I can.

Cheers,
Ben.

@volvo-express:
Thanks for the PM, unfortunatley being a new poster I can't reply directly (until I have 30 posts), so I'll c&p it here:

Thanks for the message, good luck with yours too.
Yours looks to be in superb condition so obviously a great car for someone.
The condition of mine generally isn't brill and with the issues I've listed, thought it might suit better someone who wanted to break it.
I don't want it round for long, so I may end up having to scrap it - which would be a real shame as the engine is still superb.

Cheers,
Ben

It's now sold. Thank you to those who expressed an interest.

End of an era for me after 6 years of 850/c70 T5s and the best damn engine I've ever had in a tintop.

Cheers,
Ben
