Ludegeneration Express. Manchester- Glasgow

Post by Lovedoctor » Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:43 pm

I posted on here a few weeks I sold my Lude :cry:

Its being replaced by a cheap family friendly 4x4 that my wife will drive. I have paid a deposit and booked my train tickets to Cheadle Hulme for this Saturday and all being well I will be travelling back to Glasgow in a Nissan X-Trail. Dont get me wrong - Deal not completely done but im hopeful it wont end like my 500mile last minute jaunt to Leeds that ended fruitless a few weeks ago :x

Anyone needing anything shuttled North? I can meet on services M6 etc?

indeed Merc.
Glasgow to Cheadle Hulme is £31 so cheaper than driving and less tiring too! Dont suppose you have seen this sellers compound/stock? Comms have been exceptionally positive and seems a genuine guy.

According to the train times its approx 2.30. I believe the seller is meeting me there. Like I say from comms seems a very nice guy and feedback on cars he has sold on Ebay have been positive.

Been there before tho. A week last Sunday made a last minute jaunt to Leeds to see a similar X-Trail. Bodywork/Interior was excellent for year but engine (49k miles and backed by HPi) was an absolute dog - hunting on idle and when i checked the oil black as night and the smallest fraction registering on the sump. Further inspection found a pool of oil in the spare wheel cavity and evidence underneath the engine that it had been dropping oil. Clearly previous owner was keeping a bottle of oil in the cavity and topping regularly. Seller (eastern european trader) tried spinning sh1te about us revving it to hard and oil had left sump to lube engine! :lol: Someone has been duped tho- no longer advertised for sale
