doobietoo Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Did a job for a mate at works other half and am being paid by Skoda hatchback.... Its a T plate with 3 former owners 134,000 on the clock MOT until May and it is a silver diesel 1.9. Will know more/ have pics once i pick it up and can drive/ have a good look round but thought i would see if anyone on here wants it first before i sell it locally. Please note i have yet to see/drive or drive it so it may only be good for a few bits and the bridge but who knows.... I cant see it being worth more than about 2 or3 hundred quid complete or i may break it if enough peeps want parts... Form an orderly queue here........or not as the case may be...

dugong Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Skoda Felicia diesels are 'ard. Any car that can live in rural Cambridgeshire and not be killed by Peter Simpson is doing pretty well in the longevity stakes.

sierraman Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I thought at one point Car Mechanics was turning into Rover 75 Monthly. I know who you mean now. Is he an autoshiterist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Car Mechanics mag editor I believe is Peter Simpson Incorrect. His protegé Martyn Knowles has been editor for quite a few years now, and the title is at a different publisher. Peter did edit it for many years, and Classic Car Weekly then Classic Car Buyer. He's now satisfying his truck fetish with Classic & Vintage Commercial. However, I'd be interested in pics of the car we're actually meant to be talking about.

doobietoo Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 So drove it today and it goes surprisingly well just a slight knock on pulling away etc from the front which i would suspect is a bush... cruises at 70mph fine pulls well and turns left and right as it should.... The body is ok with a little rust on the rear arches and the odd ding here and there ....The reason it was got rid of is that it has a starting problem when the glow plug light doesnt come on, I disconnected the coolant electrical plug after which it fired right up so at a guess a new coolant sensor would sort it out it . Battery is flat from where its been sitting but i can charge it for the new buyer before collection. It has service history up to 88,000 and has been looked after since then by a local garage but no records of that. It has keep fit windows etc but has both tacho and central locking although you have to lock and unlock the passenger side as the drivers side key doesnt work the lock does though. It needs a good clean inside and out as previous owner had a dog...that about it really ... any questions ask away...Looking for £250 ono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lord Sward Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I once sold one of them to Keith Adams of this parish for a banger rally. Well tough, especially since his co-pilot was Andrew 'Pearly' Elthick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechered Flag Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Looks a lot tidier than my 2000 X plate one, but then mine had been sat a year, and only cost me £80 6 mths ago. They're a good car, if a little under powered, but can return 60mpg driven sensibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
