Hi I'm the one actually selling the car but didn't have access to a computer until today.

Yes this car was originally from Darlington.

The car was on ebay a few months ago - link below (sorry don't have more recent pictures).

It has 2 months tax and 9 months MOT.

Sorry I forgot to note that the car is currently having problems starting - although I have been told that it will be something simple.

The car was driven back from Darlington with no problems at all - but now just won't start properly?!

Does the engine turn over at all? If so does it fire or just spin with no signs of life? Will you be getting this problem sorted or are you selling as is?

TBO for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1900 it should be running sweet when sold!!

It usually starts then cuts out, but last attempt didn't start at all.

The reason we are selling it is that we can't afford to keep spending money on it. Our financial circumstances have changed since we bought it and althought we have attemped to get people to get it going again no one seems interested in doing the work.

The first thing i would try is the fuel pump relay. Can you hear the fuel pump priming the engine when you turn the ignition on?

You cant expect top whack for it without it running i`m afraid.

Tried the Fuel Relay - not that.

I appreciate your comment regarding the asking price. I'll get saving and get it into a garage.
