Do they mean water leaking in, which lets face it is pretty common or it's losing/using water which could be head gasket/warped heads and any sort of general nastiness. I have to imagine the later given the Non Runner status. Also have to doubt the mileage, no sh mentioned so my money would be on a speedo change at some point which with a now missing service history has been forgotten about - still cheap enough for sure and sounds like they just want to punt it on with no hassle so have taken it in as a p/ex.
I wonder if they would be interested in a time waster
Edited to say : gah, beaten to it with the head gasket suggestion.

LS?
I guess it depends on the usual factors...but
LS?
chassis
engine (watr leak)
service history (prooving mileage)
general condition
like i said - why the headlight conversion?
CAT D, C or not...
and thats without considering the usual stuff like tyres, mot, tax, interior, spec, etc, etc
maybe not such a bargain afterall...?
all this LS talk, its about time we came up with a name for converted cars isnt it...
Cerbless...cerb LS...
since its a chevvy engine...
Cerb - rolet
Chev - bera...
Hmmm....there will no doubt be some better suggestions!

As someone looking for a Cerbera to "drop an LS" into, that one is tempting but:
First its a Cat D Cerbera, to me in the "current environment" a cat D in relatively good running condition it should be no higher than £7k. Officially modifying a Cat D car is adding insult to injury - insurance is abit higher...
Then the fact that the car is sold as a non runner, it has any number of problems and most likely has a rotten chassis, so to me £6.5k is high, maybe if the seller could be negotiated down to £5-£5.5k would I think its worth it.
Hmmm
... Paul its your neck of the woods, could I persuaded you to cast an expert eye over this Cerbera?
