Vauxhall Vivaro
Suspected turbo seal gone,
Switched the ignition off and the engine carried on revving and the engine had to be stalled.

It has covered 162k miles

Sure someone with repevent experience you have this fixed and make a nice work van!

Currenty located in Coventry but will shortly be moved to Leicester. Can leave at Cov if easier for buyer!

Looking at £950.

Hi mate I'm interested in the van. Just wandering what is the general condition like? I.e bodywork, interior etc.. Many dents? Will the engine still turn over? If I bought it then I would want to collect from Coventry. Please either pm me, e-mail r32dale@gmail.com or call 01594 510525, thanks, Dale.

How far are you away from Cov as the van looks as tho it'll be coming down Leicester tonight due to someone else being intrested down here...

The van has no major damage, obviously its not going to be perfect but a very good example.
the engine still turns over but as stated it possibly needs a new turbo, apparently a very common fault on these?
The pictures of the van talk for themselves.

Im guessing it wont drive then?
Does it still start? ie: the engine runs fine but wont switch off?

The engine does still turn over yes, but wouldn't recommend doing so as the seal has gone it'll be running off the oil and you'd knacker the engine.

As stated will possibly need a new turbo, there's a few on the bay so you can get some rough prices etc

I'm very interested! It would be easier for me to collect from Coventry but not the end of the world collecting from Leicester, do you have a number I could contact you on? Good to have a chat with you and hopefully we could sort something out. If I want it then I would be able to collect by the end of the week, could you please give me a call (on 01594 510525 or email: r32dale@gmail.com) tomorrow? Thanks, Dale.
