RobT Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Anyone fancy this? I paid too much considering it's a bit of a heap, but atleast it now sports the correct trimz. And the gold plus beige interior is rather alluring. The MoT is until mid-June, it has two new Falkens on the front, and I'm in the process of sorting out an intermittent misfire/missing a beat thing. I've got new plugs and leads to put on tonight so hopefully that'll sort it. There's a graunching noise under acceleration, so that will need investigating, but it steers and stops fine. Body is shite, there's loads of lacquer peel on the front wings and elsewhere, plus some ropey sill and rear arch repairs. The ignition barrel also sticks a bit which makes quick getaways difficult. Edit: it's a 1.7 giffermatic. So in summary, it's a bit shit, but could do a turn for someone (if I manage to sort the misfire out). Only got one pic, so will add some of the interior later.

RobT Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 New spark plugs tonight seems to have cured the rough running. The old ones were ancient and poorly gapped so no wonder. The old thing is actually quite good fun to drive, nippy and chuckable around town, so I was being a bit harsh earlier calling it a heap. Well, it is a bit rough but drives fine for a 200 quid motah!

Skizzer Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 That looks like a bit of alright, actually. I'll ask my mate who's currently borrowing my Yeti how he feels about Volvo 440s.

theorganist Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This looks lovely especially for £200. I paid the same for a Montego which looks like it has been dragged out of a scrapyard with an interior which looks like it has staged the conception of half the population of the Cotswolds! This is very tempting if I can clear some space! D Spares & Tyres and RobT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is that your own personal car park Rob? Its always empty.I wish. If it was it'd be chock full of shite by now. The usual case of most people chasing the spaces in the lower deck, and leaving the top one for me. You get to see some great sunsets up there too. inconsistant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Rob, seriously that looks so tempting. Sadly I don't have any money right now, but if I did, I reckon I'd buy that just because it's so cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
