Hi

a mate is looking to get a 318 TDS touring for work. The bloke selling it is saying the engine has gear drive in place of the cam belt/chain. I dont know about this derv engine, i prefer M20!

He dose not sound like a "car" person.

Can anyone help

Thanks Rich

Its a E36 on a N reg. its very high spec and its cheap!

The bloke just says its gears and so he has never changed the belt/chain. I have no intrest in diesels and am just checking this out for him.
