Thought so.  :y

So someone has bought it from 300 miles away, and is now selling it again a few weeks later?  Why do I have a feeling there is something wrong with it that isn't being said...  ::)

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM THIS IS A COMMON FAULT

If that is the case then sort it to sell it, I too am suspicious, would be interesting to read the codes, Oh and I don't like the back end of that.... :) :)

It's missing the Irmscher lower tailgate trim.  They do look a bit odd without it.  :y

Had that come up a year ago (from the original seller) I'd have bought it but no way I'd pay his BIN price blind

But that's precisely what we tell people here all the time ;) P0420/430 are essentially 'normal' on the DBW cars..

Indeed - although reading around, it seems less common on the 2.6 than the 3.2? Which is odd.

If I had seen this car when it was for sale in Norwich at £2k, I suspect I would have bought it.  I'll be buggered if I'm going to Edinburgh though!  ::)

Yeah, I did it on mine 2 years ago.  Not so much as a flicker of the light since.  :y

Yup, move the two rearmost O2 sensors from behind the pre-CATs to behind the main CATs et voila, light extinguished.

Really must do mine as the light now pretty much refuses to go out (though it went out for a while yesterday, I stared at the dash wondering what was wrong for a bit.. ;D)

mmm just looked at the mod in the maint section, looks pretty straight forward. :y
