BMW Engine??

[cornishbob]

I'm in the process of selling my frontera : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0857637385

and have been asked a question by a potential buyer, he's asked if it is the BMW engine?

Its the 2.5 TDS (is there a TD and a TDS or only one?) and is it a Beamer engine?

thanks all

PS any idea what horsepower it had at new?

No its not a BMW engine mate, its a VM engine. As for horsepower I gotta hunch they are about 130ish, but for a 4x4 that is a poinless figure really...its the torque that makes em good at what they do, especially when movin a 2 tonne truck and possibly 2.8 tonnes load behind it.

I`d buy it just for the MOT Sept 2912

Well spotted that man ...but does that carry over to the next vehicle and so on, when the car has died and has been reprocessed into something else???

[pot bellied pixie]

keep up with the oil changes and it should last that long

[cornishbob]

yeah, I know a bloke, nudge nudge wink wink MOTs for the next 900 years, no problem...

well spotted, thank you
