Thanks for all the welcomes

Here comes my story of disaster

I started my journey yesterday to view and hopefully buy my csl but omg, what was ment to be a hard mission became mission kill me now.
I'm from Glasgow and the plan of action was to drive my evo to bristol to sell and then today get a lift from the buyer to Cornwall to veiw the csl however on the m6 toll road right at the pay toll, engine started to knock in the evo

I'm not sure how it happened but it has and this is my 3rd forge build engine and the 4th engine I've had since owning the car. The car has been mega strong for ages now too so total

Anyways this happen around 8pm and I eventually still managed a deal with the buyer and eventually got the car to him etc (5hours of waiting for rac etc) tbh I was not bothered wanted was still wanting it or not as I knew I could just fix the evo and use it hard again as it's been the fastest a-b car I've owned and spent crazy money on the car on the car since owning it.

Now my banks a few grand shorter than I hope for I'm still going to see the
csl however if it's not 110% I'm just flying home as I still feel gutted and
annoyed at what has happened and if the csl doesn't make it home I'd just go get ran over.

This is the car and please if anyone knows anything about it let me know ASAP, I've got my iPhone so I'll keep a look out on here for any info people
have.

It's not at that price mind( a lot more actually) and incase the link doesnt work, it was on eBay and has ap front brakes, stop tech rears , ss back box with kw coilovers, uprated roll bar and the plate is Dy54czl hpi is fine however maybe someone might know more about it.

Sorry for such a long post and forgive me if this doesn't make much sense but 2hours sleep as not helped;(

Thanks and if I've missed any question out on previous post I'll get back once I'm back to normal

or settled again

The car was advertised by 'throbindonkey' on ebay back in January (new ebay seller says bought 7 months ago so sort of matches up). Then it had 50,000 miles on it and advertised for £25,950 - a/c mentioned only.

So its only done 3888 miles in 7 months and hes spent £15k on it

What is with the 'dot' after the mileage before the trip counter? They don't normally have this 'dot', here's a picture from a car for sale on PH.

And mysteriously the clock has changed to 24 hour

E30M3SE · 28-07-2011, 11:39 AM

I was told by someone that worked for Hexagon of Highgate, a technician, that this 'dot' signified mileage correction, I don't know how much fact is in this as have never seen it on a car until seeing this picture and have not investigated it myself, but I would be checking the service & MOT history on this car very carefully.

I'm 20 mins from buying my train ticket so I think I'll go see the car as it seems ok so far with the feedback. Thanks for the fast reply dudes but with regards to the dot I'll defo make sure the history seems ok. However anymore people with anymore info let's me know

Thanks
