.......so the aircon's buggered then?

I'd love one of these but it's a look I could never pull off...with the slicked back hair I'd look like a peasant variant of Gordon Gekko.

At least he's put more effort in the usual "Very cheap fix"... well fookin do it then!

Why does he say just completed a long trip with no faults? Aren't cars supposed to do that anyway?

That is one grim car. The worst colour combination with rusty arches and black shit slapped underneath.

Are we talking about the same car?

For that zircon statement alone I would not believe a word of that advert. The owner is obviously too tight to have the aircon fixed and therefore there is a very high chance they have scrimped elsewhere

The phrase "needs a fuse" is wearing a little thin”¦maybe it just needs a re-gas ?

I'm going 100 miles to look at a W115 tomorrow morning with a mate, after a nights work. Grumpy coont mode was likely.... After hearing the sellers description "Car runs fine but no battery in the car at the moment" has made it a guarantee.

a missing battery on a W115 is the least of your worries !! if it has all of it's body (in steel) your on a winner !

It's much worse than that, it's apparently a "1978" 200, diesel, South African import. The cars location was also a grey area & seller couldn't provide a VIN.

Asked Pacer and it set off all sorts of alarm bells with him.
