Annoyingly I'm not in the market until the end of August ... Shame really! If its still for sale come that point though ..

You say in your OP that you had a T4 engine fitted .. is this a typo or do you mean the same T4 thats in the S40/V40 etc?

No it is not a typo but I should have given a full explanation as not everyone knows the engine varients.

The second phase of the 5 cylinder high pressure turbo engine that is found in the manual 850 R and phase one 70 series T5 is known as the T4 varient. It is not to be confused with the 40 series 4 cylinder high pressure turbo engine found in the T4. So in short it is the second phase of the T5 engine, it is alleged it has stronger conrods.

The engine has the better white injectors instead of orange
The turbo is a 16t instead of the 15g

The engine has done less than 140k miles same as turbo, the injectors have been reconditioned and done less than 1k miles. Hope this information helps if anyone needs more info just ask

Aha thanks for clearing that up - I was rather confused when I read it had a T4 engine! I did think it might have been a varient of the T5 - Just like I've heard of there being a T5 thats referred to as a T3 ...

Where abouts in the "South West" are you? (May already have been answered)

I thought about doing a video for a while as potential buyers seem to think Cornwall is at the end of the world! The video may help those who are thinking about viewing the car but are worried about travelling all the way down to sunny Cornwall and the car is not what they imagined. To be honest I don't know why more people don't use this facility to advertise their car.

+ YouTube Video

The car has been withdrawn for sale to allow Brian to view the car in the next couple of weeks. He is sending me a deposit in the next couple of days and I have agreed that should the car not live up to his expectations he can have the deposit back and the car will go back up for sale.
