Help! URGENT.

A long shot but here goes, A couple of weeks ago I brought a 340 1.7 GLE of ebay. I live in Birmingham and the car is in Bognor Regis. I brought it with no MOT (very cheap).

Sorry it's been a while :oops:

I thought they were just alloys with no tyres. So are they "ready to go" or not.

Honestly how bad is the corrosion?

I've got to ask, whats the lowest you will take for them?

Local help required for 1.7 DL

Asking a big favor. My 340 1.7 DL has now done 1200 miles in my ownership. However I have a small problem. From cold it starts fine with the choke. Once warm and you take the choke off it still runs fine once you lift the rev's. In taffic it hunts and you need to catch it just right to pull away. Al...
