Same owner 13 yrs, 85k miles (all MOTs to verify) and serviced annually locally. Used for horse towing work by very well off owners, and light estate stuff.
I did the basic checks - bulkhead OK, 4 new tyres, chassis sound (but mucky) engine not too smokey and started from cold OK (in -2c conditions!) Heater Ok, BUT - lots of oil on the top of the head and around the turbo, and
the drivers side A piller is rot. Now, I know the oil isn't good but is it acceptable. The Lady of the house has NEVER lifted the bonnet so no help there. The asking price is less then a thousand pounds.... MOT till May too...
I need help - it's what I want (perm 4 wheel drive and space to swing the dog) but is it a mutt - Do all 2.5 DTs blow oil a bit and this is just an accumalation?
Thanks for any help!!!
