Ah here. I just downloaded and installed FF 8.01 especially for you and it displays my ad just fine. Maybe you should try a different browser and keep it up to date (and maybe wake up mike65 as well while you are at it )

Are you saying that you can click this link http://photos.donedeal.ie/photos/Full?id=8784892 then click on the photo that opens and it brings you to the car ad? I can't see that happening, tbh. Even right-clicking the photo from that link, then copying and pasting the link into the address bar just brings up the same pic.....

It will work if, while in the ad, you right click the main pic and Copy Link Location (not Copy Image Location). But that's not what you're doing....

I'm technically literate, and am happy with FF. Unless AdBlock has an issue that I can't see....

Can't see the problem just linking the ad, tbh.

It'd be useful for boards, and for us web geeks who are interested in these things, to know exactly what specs you guys are having trouble clicking through to the ads on. Are you experiencing problems on desktops, or is it on mobile (particularly touch?)? What OS and browser combos?

It's a negative that it's ONLY a 1.8, or it would be better if there was gutless 1.6 option

Good buy at that money if it's running anyway right. Think the 2001/2002 models had a slightly different engine (1998cc rather than 1991cc), so maybe they have better valve seals.

Know someone looking for a car at the moment and I keep seeing great stuff I'd buy with half their budget, but of course they want a 1.4 hatch, not 1.8L+ saloons or estates.

For the record, clicking on unkels link brings me to a photo all on it's lonesome.
Chrome, Windows, have photos turned off while logged in.

The cc figures suggest 2.0L engines not 1.8L. Are you mixing something up along the way?

D'oh, I'd guess the 1.8 is a shorter stroke of the 1998cc.

In my case it was (some time back) a problem between the chair and the keyboard

that's a bargain alright:D:D:D:D and looks in great condition. Definitely get the sump dropped and cleaned if its not documentation and there's any "rattle" from the timing chain cover area ( particularly from the top left on a cold start ).

enjoy

Considering that you can get a tax and tested one for not much more than that, you can. Nice for spares all the same.

Really like this model Camry for some reason.

Nice barge if it checks out.

I don't think so to be honest.

As I said above if it checks out, and the milage is genuine, with over 1 years NCT & 2 full months tax, the car is surely worth €1000/€1100.

If the car is genuine,there is plenty of years motoring left in it.

zilog_jones · 25-11-2011 5:23pm

"Top spec"
2.2 GL was the entry level Camry - it's not even a V6!

Maybe you are right, depends of the taste. Still think there are way more interesting cars around for that money.

Doubt you would find any more reliable for the money and let's face it at this end of the budget reliability is probably more important than power or speed!

Taste is subjective..:D

Def more interesting cars out there alright. I'm blinded by my bias.!

I figured the milage/tax/test situation merited entry to the illustrious bangernomics club..!
