    bit suspect.

    Guy says the turbo is smoking, but it's just been rebuilt as has the engine, if one thing has failed after being put back together then many more bits could be. I enquired about this a while ago but didn't go ahead with it as that's a lot of money for a car that could need a new engine

    I hear what your saying, Just sounds abit cowboy to me and the engine doesn't look like it's done 300miles after a full rebuild and the guy has no proof of engine work carried out?! think I'll pass on this one!

    could just need a restrictor in the oil feed line.

    Fair amount of parts though which together will be worth something but with no proof of that engine rebuild id be out, CA18s arent known for their reliability if not treated well...

    Doubt it with it being a journal bearing turbo.
