Hi Pieman - nice bus. I may be interested, but just want to ask a few questions about the engine. Which Subaru engine is it? What mileage has the engine done (presume it came from a donor vehicle)? Is there any service history (to go with the engine)? Do you know the date and mileage of the last cambelt change? Does it consume any oil (either leaks or burn)? That's it for now, but I'll probably have more. Cheers. Fin.
 
Hi Fin,
I have just been in touch with my mechanic who has answered your questions below.
It is a 1.8 engine out of the Subaru pickup.
He couldn't recall the mileage but says the engine was completely stripped down and rebuilt with any new parts required. He has spare plugs and filters which I can get and include in the sale.
There was no service history with the engine but it has been very reliable and any inspection is welcome .
It does not have a cambelt as it is gear driven.
It does not consume excessive oil as I keep an eye on all fluid levels.
Hope this helps.
 
Price reduced to £16,995
Any inspection welcome.
Unfortunately it's just not getting used much anymore.
Always kept garaged.
 
Forgot to mention it also comes with a ladder to access the roof rack.
Will try and put a pic on later.
 
Bus available for viewing in Carlisle.
Currently undergoing a service so I can arrange for it to be viewed on a ramp so you can have a good look underneath.
My mechanic can also answer any questions about the engine as he sourced and fitted it.
Just let me know and I can sort it and give directions.
 
Price reduced to £14k as I have seen something I want.
Come and have a look
 
Last throw of the dice !
Down to £13,500 or I'll be keeping it.
It has an agreed insurance value of £14k
 
Is that a 2/3 width bed with one 3 point seat belt and one lap belt?
 
May look at at swap or part/ex depending on what you have as i can't face ebay yet !
 
Hi, is this still available, if so where are you based, and do you know the engine code? Maybe EA82. I don't know whether this is included as a prefix to the engine number. Cheers. :)
