If you mention you're from antilag, i'll do a better deal however I will stick with the gumtree price on here for now.

It's a good daily driver, just needs a "speedy seal" put on the crank shaft to stop a leak there and needs new CV's, but they are only noisy when powering through turns etc so still have a bit of life left in em

isn't a speedy seal something used for repairing holes in tyres?

quite interested dude, whats up with the crankshaft

So its an oil leak on the crankshaft (front main seal). We've replaced the seal twice now and still leaking from the same spot. This means that the seal area is somehow worn so that even a new seal cant stop the leak 100%. So, what you or your mechanic will need to do is put one of these speedi sleeves over the shaft to increase its diameter so that the seal can push up against it again and provide a seal.

Mechanics use these all the time since its pretty common for this to happen to crankshafts/camshafts/etc..

On the other hand you could just live with the leak, which is what i've done for over a year - it doesnt drip THAT much, and you just top the oil up every month or two and degrease the engine bay whenever you wash the car.
