1998 Fronterror 2.2 petrol LWB

MOT 25th Feb 2016

'Taxed to get you home'

97,000 miles.

Towbar

Alloys

All that sort of bollocks

It drove ok (done about 15 miles in it) and starts first crack.

 

The top steering column bearing 'has play in it' according the MOT advisory. According to me to effing right it has play in it.

One brake light doesn't work, the lad I got it off said if you replace the faulty one, they all pack up so just use it as is, or fix it or something! 

The driver's seat base has sunk. Rather laughably there's a pretty horrible 'stolen from a skip outsode a 119 year old person's house' cushion to help* the driving position.

It's got some scuffs, scrapes and rust marks as I'm sure you can imagine

Back tyres gradually go down if you don't drive it for a while.

Erm, £399? I'd also swap it for a caravan (damp free, useable, 3 berth plus) if anyone's keen (ha!) to own a classic* popular* Vauxhall.

 

Chester, Cheshire.

 

Do all rush at once.

Fuck my luck: battery flat, went to jump start it then remembered the bonnet takes a lot of pissing about to make it shut properly.

Pumped the tyres up, left it running for ages and 'fixed ' the bonnet catch.

 

Shut the bonnet, felt smug and let it tick over even longer. Then noticed the fan hadn't kicked in and steam coming from under the bonnet. Went to open it, guess what? I have over engineered the bonnet catch and the fucker won't open.

I'm in the house now, bollocks to it.

Are you now so sick of the thing that you are prepared to swap it for two non running mopeds and a 1980's Velbon camera tripod? The tripod has three legs if that helps?
