Inspector Morose Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 They're okay on a journey on your own. Mine used to regularly go from Birmingham to Redruth to see my mate and his 2ft gauge railway. One of mine was turned into the company van to save using a bus. Quite a useful little thing - rear seats taken out, lined out at the back and rear windows blanked off - turned it into a useful parts getter and crew change machine until one driver on a crew change forgot where he parked it and it was taken away and crushed by Birmingham council after four days sitting on double yellows.

KruJoe Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Pretty chuffed to win it at that price to be honest.

vulgalour Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Chompy rates these as super fun, I can see Mrs KJ being very pleased with them. Because it's a Fiat I don't fit in them (see also Lancia and Alfa Romeo) which really disappoints me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Mrs B has the cinque. Loves it, although for some reason, prefers the Coop 20vt, or her S2000. Can't understand why? Enjoy. They do seem to be cheap fun RobT and KruJoe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Home and dry* All in all, a successful collection. Cost: Half a tank of WVO, one severed ratchet strap, and £2.50 for a Waziristani hand wash. Best thing about that enterprise was the hand-warming brazier burning inside their lashed-up shelter! This thing is an absolute flipping hoot on our private* back lanes, I'm telling you. It is now fully hoon tested, and comes with the Joe_Cleland stamp of approval. oldcars, Cavcraft, The Moog and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Time to move this on.It has developed an increasingly persistent but intermittent non-starting habit.It did it a few months back, and an ebay crank sensor seemed to fix it. It may be the same problem now, but it's giving a different fault code this time, one for a key-code immobiliser problem. But the key-code goes out as normal, so I'm not sure. Also, I now suspect HGF too. (Oil cap mayo, coolant vanishing, and creaminess in the sump oil.) I just CBA to spend any more time on it, and due to its bad habits, Mrs_KJ has fallen out of love, so it's days here are numbered.It still drives brill when it decides to start. Bloody thing. You still reading this? OK, it's tested 'til June: It'll likely want some tyres to win another test. Any plus points? Recently overhauled back brakes. It's yellow. Erm... that's all I've got.How much? You decide. 99p start Autoshite members' AUCTION! (GBP (Pounds and pence Sterling) bids only, no licked Twixes, bid increments 10 pence or more, that's up to you. Auction ends 24 hours after the last bid. Other T&C's may apply if I haven't thought of them yet.) Location: Central, so close to everyone on mainland UK. Collection: most days/times are possible, evenings are good. Relaxed timescale, storage is not a problem here. I can bring you to it from Skipton bus or rail station. Delivery: May be possible, we can talk. May involve A-frame risk and further T&C's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Aye. I did have a look myself this week, with the thought of picking up an identical one (with differing issues), and keep this for bits. I found a good runner for £200 needing an alternator down int' West Riding, but the Mrs told me to FRO with that idea, as she saw it as an excuse to have another carcass littering the place. Bugger. Rumbled. (Plus, it's gonna be a while 'til she trusts a Fiat again.) JohnK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegod Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 IIRC fiat dealer guys used to change the gaskets on these round the back of their workshops in their lunch hour as a bit of a foreigner, must be a pretty easy job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Cool, that £75 (just) beats the bid from CTB in Preston if I drag it to them there. Is it likely someone will make a go of this thing? If so, I potentially have some goodies to throw into the deal... eddyramrod and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explosive-cabbage Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 £75 is a good start. Unfortunately, I'm out:- This thing cannot be driven whilst wearing size 10 wellies. Therefore it cannot be driven by me. And I'm too busy winning life with a BX. trigger and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
