fck! the mystery deepens now! :\ who got it?
You, Fraz, Toblerone and Daniel were the main guys interested from here

Who the f**k is toblerone?

And sucks to hear that Rob. Mainly because I wanted parts, but, always up for some morale support..

And yep I ended up getting it
Unsure about what I'm doing with it yet though :/

And here's another vid of that damn knock/tap noise, what could it be?
Sounds really bad and a few times when it got hot it starts to screech ?
In saying that, I did drive it for 3hours home...

Because he's obviously impulsive and it was cheap.

I wonder if he wants a cheap Mercedes.

I'm sure if you offered it for little enough he'd buy.

And then wonder what he's going to do with it.

I think the point still stands.

I bought it because it was nearby and cheap..which is rare..
And it will save me a lot in the future on spare sparts for mine. But,
After driving it home I really liked the 5speed manual over my 4sp tip aaand I like the white.
So might put my engine in it

and keep it.
But probably just take bonnet,side skirts and a few other little things for my car then part out the rest.. Like I said
Still very undecided :/

Here's some more pics,

It looks better then my silver one

Just do a manual conversion on yours.

And WTF happened in the engine bay?
Blow a coolant hose?

I'm guessing it could be piston slap. Rare, but possible. I know it's an issue in some of the 06-07 V6 Triton's, as well as some of the earlier 4G63T's.

Basically, the piston is moving up and down on the gudgeon pin (the pin that connects the piston to the conrod). Would make sense, as it's in time with the engine rpm.

If you end up manual converting yours, I wouldn't mind the shell.

I'm not sure ill be able too, and I don't want to pay someone to do it :/
Do I have to change over the ecu when I do it? And cluster, and make room for a clutch.
