Likely to be an injector. Highly unlikely to be the hp pump. 40 years in the trade btw..... Back leaking injector is most likely, especially at 120k.

That’s actually not that unusual. ‘Subject to inspection’. It’s a tricky area to be in because it sets expectations with the customer. Pulling back money for undisclosed issues/defects should have been the way forward from there. Mismatched Chinese there’s on the same axle would have set off alarm bells with me.

Any car that comes in with ditch finders on there needs taking a closer look at. If they cut corners on tyres and they are the only thing keeping you in a straight line, they’ll bodge everything else.

Water ingress on those. Sits in the sills on both rear sides. Easy to fix. Go under each rear sill and remove rubber plugs to drain. Basically water sits in and if left will overflow into the car. I agree though out to trade.

The high pressure fuel pump is driven by the timing chain, which is at the back of the engine, realistically it is engine out to replace it and when you're in there the chain must be replaced, you could easily spend 600 to 1000quid depending on where the parts are bought....

SOP in place to get all p/x driven by a mechanic is the way forward but how will that work on sats.

I’m amazed that you assume everyone trading in a car, especially an old shitter like that, is getting rid of it because they just fancy a change, most people don’t change cars until the old one starts costing them big money, or they get a warning that big expenditure is coming. Unless you’re putting trade-ins straight to auction, where cosmetic condition/appearance is the most important factor, you need to assume anything you get offered is going to have issues and price accordingly…

Still very sought after models being the LCi. Suspension shocks/struts on e92/93 is hard. Some folk can’t acclimatise to “the firm ride”. Worse with run-flats, especially Bridgestone Potenza RTF OEM tyres. Should’ve had air filter. As airflow measurements and fuel pressures are compared as part of the parameters checked on the fault code generated. Also exhaust pressure before and after turbo and DPF. A lot can be learned by watch live data whilst car driven. I’m sure it’ll be a good project for someone as prices have dropped heavy but not those with n57 engine though. May even be a qood breaker at the price it owes. Happy days… easy come! 🫣 That’s enough dribble from me, lm away to sleep currently the middle of the night for me.
