The new one is a 52 reg 2.0 se, full leather interior, heated seats, some kind of Aircon (different to the t4) fully delaership serviced up until 2014, 3 owners from new, 177k on the clock.

For some reason it has a darker silver bootlid which has a 1.8 badge on ( I've checked, it is a 2l) and the front bumper is bashed on one corner, and the passenger door mirror has no glass in it, all can be transferred over from the t4 though, by the time I swap the wheels and suspension too you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference visually, apart from the (broken) egg grate grill and chrome door handles that this one has.

Worryingly none of the brake lights worked, but cleaning and refitting the fuse gave me the rear window one working, then a pair of spare bulbs got one side working, but one of the pair I found must have also been a dud so a stolen fog bulb from the caravan gave me all brake lights operational, all rear light bulbs were horribly dim and silvered over, had one spare pair so the outermost ones are now nice and bright but the boot ones are dim, we have some at work I think.

It was 3 miles away as I said and I haggled him down from a rather random figure of £287 (Facebook marketplace has an auto price reduction thing) and got it for 250, still has 90 miles worth of petrol in it as well, I'll give it new oil filter and plugs tomorrow, probably do the fuel filter while I'm at it, plus it's got the wrong back box on for some reason (unless some 2.0 were a single tailpipe?) But all in all a smart buy for the money, plus the best bit being it was listed as no mot, but it is tested until November 30th, it has the classic x40 drop link clonkery but that's easily sorted, plus it doesn't smoke, which is nice.

I also thought the same about the engine but unsure if the block and pistons would be the same or not.
