Insignia buying advice

mb motors can do the seal, in 2 hrs no need to split any box you just need to drill the 2 holes needed in some boxes and charges £170
the seal effects any diesel engine if its been neglected poor servicing and not letting the car complete its regens fully which puts diesel in the sump.
auto boxes are bullet proof and yes do get the oil change I have done mine and it was filthy .
I have the biturbo elite vxline estate and its been faultless in the nearly 2 years off owning it and deffo get it mapped ther a monster once done .

automatic boxes have the cut outs already and I think its the stronger off the 2 manual gear boxes that have the cut outs the other its just a case of 2 holes to cut on the bell housing were the marks are saves a lot of time that way

Ask seller for the registration number and vin number tell him that you would like to check its history for yourself before you decide to buy it

It’s only 10 miles from me so just going to turn up and do the checks when I’m with the car. There is also a nice estate at another dealer by that one but it’s the 140 not the 160

Assuming you will be haggling on the price, use the fact that the eBay listing first went up 3 and a half months ago as an indication that he's struggling to sell it - tell the salesman that to his face and insist he drops the price to something more competitive.
