Mattle40 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 https://vimeo.com/118155104 Hi all, wasn't really sure what section to put this in but this is a car I'm potentially buying. It's 250 miles away so I asked the owner to send me a vid of the engine. It's a 54plate on 78k miles, would everyone agree this sounds healthy? Is that rattle the timing chain? Matt Quote
nissanjuke Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 It sounded healthy to me,but I notice he had a induction kit on, ask him about the mods. Quote
Mattle40 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks, yes it's a k&n typhoon, also has invidia Gemini Quote

nissanjuke Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Well as you know all these mods create extra noises,nice ones at that! 1 Quote
Mattle40 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 They certainly do. I'd already planned on the invidia anyway so it's a bonus. I'm just concerned about the engine being healthy. Everything else seems to check out so might have to go for it. Quote
Mattle40 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 That's normal for a diesel Well I hope that's a joke lol 😠1 Quote
Hooch Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Sounds good to me. He's willing to go out of his way to post a video so he sounds genuine. Worth a punt. Edited January 30, 2015 by Hooch Quote
Daryl Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Where is the car, as im sure a local forum member would be happy to go look at it for you, save you the hassle of a long trip Quote
