Dale B Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Anyone know of any issues with these ... are they reliable, daily driver etc etc. Not too worried about fuel / service cost, just want to know if it will start on a cold winters morn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Its a mondeo V6 so should be pretty robust! Obviously ford didn't mean to bolt 2 turbos on but I am sure it should behave pretty "normally". I won't ask why your asking... Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale B Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 I won't ask why your asking... Gaz. LOL .. cheers Gaz. A friend of mine is looking to emigrate and has a 2001 Noble M12 in Titanium Silver and also a 1998 911 996 C2 with GT3 Body again in Silver. He's offered either of them to me for £20000 which is a bargain but wasnt sure about any problems that may arise with the Noble. He hasnt had any but hes only had it for 6months and done 1500miles in it. The 911 he's had from new and its never missed a beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerotop Dave Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Blimey, I'd get the Porsche anyday. Reliability wise it's gotta be the better bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 £20k for a Noble... I'd jump at that chance ! They look very nice in that titanium silver also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Try here Dale: http://www.pistonheads.com/noble/owners.asp Might be a little more informative than me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 £20K for a 996 C2 in GT body?Bite his bloody arm off its worth 30K minimum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Seriously stay away from the noble! I have contracts at a dealership that used to sell/service them and i have a friend that built them in barwell also. They are utter crap, you wouldnt believe how many of them set on fire! All the guys who worked on them complained about shoddy build quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Your best bet, is to ask here: For Nobles: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?f=26&h=0 For Porsche 911's: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?f=48&h=0 There are one or two members who've had both (S3am is one, nice bloke), but these two forums are a wealth of information. Start a thread in each if I were you. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
