Moderator mervin Posted June 19, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hmm coolant pipe snapped , get it repaired and filled with water and before you buy,then get it running to see if the oil and water are mixing together, it could have been left out under that sheet all winter with no antifreeze, engine block could be cracked, the fact is has tax and mot is not a bad start, but if they are not prepared to sort the pipe or get the engine started then adjust the price accordingly or walk away, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
