RobT Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 In a classic case of ‘can’t keep them all’, the Cavalier will have to go. The 416 isn’t selling, but also it’s handy having an auto for scooting around town in, so anyone fancy this for £150? Not currently subject to lottery funding but might go that way! 135k miles, MoT to October (need to check the date) and taxed until the end of August. Arches are a bit shite but drives really well, even if it’s a bit noisier after the run to Wales a few weeks ago. Inlet manifold gasket as I’m reliably told by Andy cms206. 2.0 8v so cruises well on the motorway and is good for B-road hooning, as KruJoe ably demonstrated with his John Cleland impression at Shitefest. Interior is decent after I spent ages cleaning it, and all electrics work apart from the door mirrors. Comes with a fair bit of history too. So a slice of the Senior Sales Executive lifestyle for the meagre sum of £150, I’m expecting massive interest in this…. Edit: Can a mod do the green For Sale ad tag, thought I'd done it but isn't coming up, cheers. KruJoe and ProgRocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Ooooh, tempted! I'd have said "yes please" straight away after my test-run, but I must see SWMBO. That said, Dollywobbler did mention something about fancying a Cavalier...and he's just sold a BX! Edit: beaten to it by a serial Vauxhall botherer!

Cavcraft Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yours if you want it. Mr Coli. I said 'done' because I'd changed the header to include a 'for sale' tag, not 'done' because I'd bought it. Though I very much wish I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 It can be on a drive away, pay later basis for an AS regular if that helps. The more it sits on the road outside, the more likely it'll get damaged or vandalised. One less thing for me to think about then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I drove this at Shitefest and it was most excellent. Skintness unfortunately prevents indulgence unless you want a Volvo 940 with about a months MOT on it. M'coli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove this at Shitefest and it was most excellent. Skintness unfortunately prevents indulgence unless you want a Volvo 940 with about a months MOT on it. Thanks for the Volvo offer, but I need to reduce numbers rather than replace it with something that takes up more space! aldo135 and rml2345 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 That looks a bit of all right that does. Shame I've got nowhere to park one car let alone the multiples that I want. I think it's too cheap, should be £395 at the very least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sadly I'm oot. Really need something with a tow bar and the cost of getting it to Wales is probably close to the purchase price! I can confirm that it is a pleasant steer. Far better than I expected to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Arg. Has this gone yet? I have absolutely no need for it at the moment, but I've always wanted to try a Mk3 Cav, and at that price it'd be almost impossible to lose out, even for me...

Skizzer Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 MEGABARGAIN. +1 on this being a really nice drive, with very strokeable seats. Also, SKIZZER DELIVERY SERVICE available for anywhere on the Swansea to Paddington train route, if Wuvvum doesn't beat you to it. FREE, as can re-charge the mileage to expenses.

Cavcraft Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 but I've always wanted to try a Mk3 Cav, You won't be disappointed. They're not 'exciting' but they're bloody brilliant and totally reliable. rml2345, cms206 and RobT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Forgot to mention an important bit. It might need a new brake servo or something as the pedal can go a bit soft sometimes which can make the sphincter twitch. Come off and press again and it's fine, just don't leave your braking late... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sounds more master cylinder to me. A failed servo usually makes the pedal go rock hard. An ideal way to learn new Autoshite driving techniques! The art of not panicking when the car won't stop is one we all should learn. skattrd and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Does it have rear drums? You can get that sort of thing happening if the ratchet slips on the self-adjuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Having driven this at shitefest, and been driven by joe_cleland in it I can vouch for how well it drives. Also fans of tasteful early 90s velour will approve of the interior. If I had a cavalier shaped space on the drive I definitely would. Robs a top bloke into the bargain!
