ruffgeezer Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Reality has bitten, I need to get a car Mrs Ruff can learn to drive in, and so my fleet of three must lose it's newest member as the other two vehicles are non negotiable. It's a 2004 reg C15 with the DW8 engine, just shy of 90k with receipts for clutch and cambelt as well as some new front discs and pads. I've had the van 3 months now and for it's MOT I have replaced both front arms (TCA bushes were worn) and both fron ARB bushes. It has 5 good budget tyres and H4 spec headlamp bulbs. It's a scruffy noisy little thing, but mechanically it's spot on, oh save for a slight blow on the exhaust, but I'm hoping to source a good second hand one next week. It will come with a full MOT, a few spare bits I have and an Autoshite window sticker. Also has enough history to choke a donkey. The price is a firm £700. If I advertise elsewhere, I will apply a £150 knobhead tax. dugong and Craig the Princess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabergé Greggs Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Also, is there life in the rear axle bearings? That's all I need to worry about, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 I don't know about veg, but I know it has had a rear axle bearing, and if my boss will put his name to a ticket on it, there is no doubt in my mind the other one will be good too.
