Posted February 26, 201114 yr Moderator sad but true, my RX4 blew its turbo tonight in Breightmet of all places (Kev's gaff) saw a lot of smoke at first, then the engine revved its nuts off so i had to stall it. Luckily I saved the rest of the engine before all the oil got sucked in! was on the way to sis in law's so she rescued us and I placed trip mines around the car and camoflaged it. (only joking Kev) so I'm looking for a motor now, up to £3k. Seen an ad for a nissan primera 2.2dcu diesel and a vauxhaul Zafira 2 DTi 16v ATM. wish me luck! I'll have to get the school bus monday morning with all the kids, wonderful
February 27, 201114 yr I'll have to get the school bus monday morning with all the kids, wonderful go on your bike,or dont you want to get it dirty.
February 27, 201114 yr Moderator I have had a couple of zafiras. Very bus like but lots of space. Ideal for school and shopping runs.
February 27, 201114 yr Errrr .... I have to ask the obvious, if the engine's OK why not just get the turbo replaced? Those nice chaps at Turbo Technics will do a replacement unit for a lot less than a new car. Just sayin'
February 27, 201114 yr why not buy your own? this one is in your budget... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1988-F-Volvo-B-D10M-Alexander-Double-Deck-75-seater-/250778707753?pt=UK_Minibuses_Buses_Coaches&hash=item3a63936729

February 28, 201114 yr Author Moderator Assume it was a Renault Rx4, not a Mazda rx4? The Mazda is an awesome car!! yea it was a Renault RX4, it was a good car TBH.
