Right, you're all going to laugh at me here but do diesels (in general) have cats?

Looking at a bargain 93 BMW 525tds SE for a daily use while I do a few jobs on the 190 and garage it for the rest of the winter.

I'd be tempted too. Nice car and probably fine for vegification. I'm sure it's indirect injection. Perfect for frying. B) Check it out.

3 OF THE TYRES HAVE ABOUT 7MM TREAD LEFT,1 IS NEW, 2 BALL LINKS,BATTERY,EGR PIPE,BOTTOM ARM,RADIUS ARMS,2 FRONT SHOCKERS,BUSHES&SERVICING BILLS.THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ISN'T BLOWING IF THATS WHAT YOU MEAN BUT TAIL PIPE IS A BIT TATTY


It's only got a month left on the MOT though so I'm gonna take a really good look at it and see if it's worth it. Spoke to the giy and he's willing to take me on a real test drive (car parks to motorway) to prove it's worthiness so it's dead tempting!
