D Spares & Tyres Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just picked up this beauty cos I can`t say no..... Its not my thing though as I hate spannering but don`t mind bodywork head gasket gone.engine runs and sounds sweet but gets hot quickly and there are melted caramac bars instead of oil Body not too bad for a Metro Drives ok apart from judder from brakes which I assume is discs Its in Cleobury Mortimer. Was asking for £300 but any swaps or part ex would be more interesting, cash either way. I`m quite partial to French stuff by the way but anything considered! 07805 157639 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 8 valve Its had a new arch at some point but they must have cocked up the join by either not cutting the rust out or not sealing it properly and rust got in there.

Cavcraft Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I've seen a few Metros like that. It's either the de rigueur repair or it's breached a flood defence at low tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 It's all about the money, Tom. No offence or anything, but it's pretty undesirable and vastly over-priced. Just like my Scenic. RichardK, Craig the Princess and UltraWomble 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Any body interested ata seriously reduced price of £150? No less though as if it doesn`t sell at that I shall plaster in old engine oil and park it in the corner of the yard until it either dissolves or goes up in value. Whichever happens first. I`m thinking dissolve but whatever Of course I may just end up filling iit with scrap and weighing it in but its seems a bit of a shame Am half tempted to trailer it to Pride of Longbridge with a for sale sign...but I really can`t be arsed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Spares & Tyres Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Not that anyone gives the slightest fuck but I``ve plastered it in old engine oil and waxoyl, given it a good polish and parked it at a friend`s place as my yard is full of both shite and shit. I have removed the MX5 that has been there for a couple of years and will now attempt to get roadworthy. Will probably forget about Metro but may take yearly updates of nature taking it back Grundig and Junkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Bloke Next Door Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 While clearing out more of my accumulated junk today I found a low mileage (65000 ish ) cylinder head off a 1993 1.4 injection that I scrapped a couple of years ago. Yours for £30 if you want to mend your Metro and can collect from Hednesford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 And there was I thinking that the days of Metro's for £150 were long gone?? Proved me wrong didn't you? Looks O.K though Its a fooked Kettle series GSi with real imitation plastic trim.£50 at best in a following wind - and thats being generous Im afraid. Its about as desirable as ringworm in your crotch on a hot summers day. Of course, this is only my opinion, and I like Metros.
