Hi Guys

Been a while since I posted here. Some of you may remember me when I posted my issues with my tranny a while ago. The car is not shifting out of first although when you disconnect and reconnect the battery it will run fine for another hour or so. I've been adviced by my mech that the issue may lie in the TCM itself but tbh I don't have the time and the money to try to fix it anymore.

Anyway, after many , I've decided to cut my losses and sell it cheap.

I've posted it on Gumtree for now and so far only had a few tyre kickers and scammers. So I thought I'd post it here to gather more interests.

The engine is flawless with less than 65,000 on the clock (61,200) to be exact. Paint, body and interior is excellent with negligible issues.

The driver seat's railing needs to be welded because one side is broken ( No, I'm not overweight ) I will consider reasonable offers and willing to help organise interstate shipping if needed.

Here's the link to the gumtree ad : http://www.gumtree.c...peed/1005450447

Going to put it up on eBay very soon.

Thanks guys, any opinions or advice?

Word of advice : Stay away from CVT :/

If you are thinking of getting back even close to 10K for it, you are better off selling the parts off individually, etc engine, interior, body parts, suspension etc...

Otherwise, $10K for a car that potentially needs a whole new transmission is still quite a gamble for any buyer out there. As far as people who are aware of CVT issues associated with the V35, I would not even buy it for 10K if the CVT was working fine. They are pretty much just a ticking time bomb.

Thanks for the helpful post ni5mo :) this sale is considered without a transmission since it is a gamble.

$10,000 is my asking price and I'm negotiable. This car still fetches 15 - 20 grand here in perth if everything works fine.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
