ok i got an astra 200 model 1.7DTI that i no longer have a use for. It had a problem with its head gasket so i had a new one put on and the head skimmed etc etc etc new battery but it still needs a bit of attention:

84k, 5 door blue, got some recipts for work done but not garage recipts as myself and a friend done it.

Few scratches, flat tyre, management light on, new oil filter/oil, previous owner put in a ton of steal seal that i havent fully flushed out. It seems to run ok but i think diesel is getting past some where?

Would be looking for a quick sale. Just woundering how much i should expect.

Thanks

I don't think you're really asking how much its worth. I think you're really advertising it for sale, in which case it ought to go into the exchange and mart section.

Yeah, couple of hundred tops, probably. Maybe more if you're prepared to break it onsite and sell it off piecemeal...

Sorry didnt mean it to be for sale, just wanted to give people an idea of its history to get a better estimate.

oh right Chris, hopefully £300 ish would be nice to see it gone (it has caused quite a headache).

Hmm.. breaking it.. if i sold the parts then what do you do with whats left/cant be sold? Such as the shell as i presume it would need to be declared as scrapped?

Yeah. Depends on your local scrappers, tbh. Some will still collect the scrap weight and give you something for it, others now charge to collect. Worth calling round before you decide, I imagine. Smile

right. john 933 you would fetch about £150 scrap value if you took your car to the scrappy if not a bit more. no need to strip it althought most wont take with tyres or any liquids. i used to tow them in and remove wheels whilst there. you need v5.

richie. um diesel passing where? im not sure what this means.
as with steal seal that you havent flushed out?

as for the rest 2000 1.7 dti astra van 6 months tax and test needs slight attention 650 ono.
all depends on your consience

Cir mean's year. ( Latin ) For there abouts. I'm not sure if it 2000 or 1999, so use the abbreviation Cir.

when its running and i take the oil filler cap off there is a smell of diesel and smoke coming out of it as if its getting past an injector or some thing. Sounds odd but it seems to puff like a running train Laughing Rolling Eyes

dont vans sell for more usually? if i got 500 i would be more than happy.

Thanks

Annus is year in Latin.

The only thing I can think that you could mean is Circa, which is Around. Circa 2000, would mean around 2000.

my problem is where would the diesel be coming from to get in your engine other than the injectors?
without looking at an exploded diagram of ur engine i would only be speculating.
bearing in mind you are going to smell diesel, its a diesel powered engine!!! that small amount of smoke could be it burning off the protective plate some cars have (recent gasket filter and oil change) and the chugging, your letting a small amout of pressure out when taking the filler cap of its designed to be seal when running you take the cap off where all of your cams and what not are moving there moving the air around them.
i would no worry to much as long as she doesent run ruff as assholes.

i am startin to believe marjays point on ur trying to generate intrest for sale as if your compotent enough to do a gasket change yourself you should know all of these things.

2000 plate 1.7 dti astra van no probs on ebay for 1100 ono so 650 resonable,

It doesn't run 'to bad' but does sound a little rough and the management light is on.. i just dont have time for it any more.

I did state i did it with a friend that happens to be very good mechanic, i was just the grease monkey and did what he told me to do such as tighten bolts and what not Laughing so if you believe that i was not just asking for an estimate (as this is the only forum i use) then please feel free to have this topic removed.

Thanks

no im not that petty Laughing
the engine managment light on vauxhauls are c*nts they come on for no reoson some times especially when works been carried out and just need simple reseting or a sensor is on the blink.
or as a mate did on his vectra after having it reset a few times took the bulb out, which as i previously stated depends on your morals Laughing

This one seems to have a mind of it own, i think it just gets bored!
More than likely a sensor as some dodgey mechanic had it before me and i was basically ripped off (note me not knowing to much about cars and he was crafty in hiding it then selling privately). Lesson learned dont jump at a sale next time!

Dont think i could do that to someone, i got ripped off and it wound me up not being able to recover the costs. I think they tend to be small led bulbs now so arent easy to replace anyways (at least when i had my 2000 saxo's dash out it was all sealed).

Thanks
