mistertwo Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2529430.htm Just noticed this, looks quite interesting. What is the thrust bearing that he's on about needing replacing? Is it a big job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyer864 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Looks a very nice car in good condition, run a nitrous kit tho be careful it hasn't f***ed the engine . as for the thrust bearing i'm to believe it's when the clutch pedal is engaged it whirrs when the pedal is pushed down ! mine's been like it for over a year , with no dramatic effect ! yes it will one day go, and a whole new clutch assembley will be installed. Also say's needs to get rid for estate car, but will p/ex for Audi quattro ???

It also says it has an oil leak, but doesn't say where. Car looks very average and tired to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it missing part of the front lip or it's just me It looks that way, but I was thinking maybe just the angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 -missing front lip -Nitrous installed- possible damage -needs mechanical work -not particularly low mileage -interior looks worn I'm sure you could pick up a much nicer example for that budget here on the forum mate! just hold out in my opinion!
