2001 Astra Estate 1.7 LS DTI... Engine trouble...
We're selling this Astra on ebay - thought some people here may be interested!!
Ebay link........ clicky...
Y reg Astra estate, which has an MOT until May 4th 2012.
Plenty of good bits to this car, but to save wasting anyone's time:
Now to the bad part.... although having an engine rebuild and full service before we bought it, it would appear something has gone wrong!!
The engine will not start!! The top of the engine does not seem to turn over!!
We were told it seemed like the cambelt had snapped, however, I have had the belt cover off and the belt looks good (it was replaced during the rebuild before we bought it!!). I can only guess that the belt has slipped or something??
No idea what internal damage would be caused on this engine, but have seen on the web that you can sometimes get away with just replacing a few rockers, replacing the belt and re-setting the timing!!
No idea how easy a fix this will be and it'll have to be towed/trailered from Croydon.
For more info, check the ebay link above...
Any questions, please contact us through ebay!!!

Many thanks,
Rob.
