For Sale: Spares / Repairs Astra (2007 - 1.7CDTi) + a lot of spare parts

[Via]

Will start with the bad... It went bang on motorway one evening...

99% sure head gasket gone (when trying to start just spins fast, sign of no compression) I do have a diesel compression test kit, not that interested myself now but if anyone seriously interested will happily do a reading if required.

Turbo gone (no damage to compressor/turbine but full of oil).

Bodywork isn't great (been keyed previously and has surface scratches where I've been using it as a shelf, these would machine polish out. Bonnet has quite a few bad stone chips so would need respray/wrapping).

This may be all that's required to get it running again, however may be other damage unseen (e.g. head crack) so could be repaired for as low as £200 (Head gasket + Turbo cartridge) based on eBay parts.

The good...

Has had Stage 2 remap, front decat (internals removed so still looks ok for MOT) and EGR delete. Was running around 150bhp, nippy but still economical - averaged 50mpg real world.

Brand new starter motor (fitted a week before it died)

2 brand new tyres (Pirelli) again fitted about a week before it died (BAD point: front O/S not sealed properly so has a slow leak)

Previously bought a load of spares including radiator, intercooler, brakes, hubs, etc... these are all included (no head gasket or turbo!)

I have been offered £150 for it from one of the we-steal-any-car places, which was more a "what if" look, tbh would probably rather donate it to local college than actually let them have it so open to any offer. If I could be bothered to fix everything it would be worth about £1500. I've owned it 3 1/2 years and it has been totally reliable (apart from last time it was driven obviously!). Was due to be replaced anyway so just got a new car instead.

*MAY* sell some of the spare parts separately if anyone is after anything specific, but I just have not got time or space to strip it nor do I want it in condition I cant move it easily to get rid of (E.g. Tyres / Wheels will not be sold separately).

£150 is a good shout for it.

Don't disagree with that tbh just disagree with their whole company ethics so would rather let it go cheaper to someone who wants it
