KruJoe Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Its a w plate Sadly too new. Save the pump too (+pipes and injectors), it'll be worth about the same as the rest of it weighed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Oh ok not to worry. If not gone by Tuesday ill scrap it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH-R Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Bosh it on eBay spares or repairs with no reserve, with scrap being so low you it wouldn't be hard to get a better price selling. If you can be bothered with ebay buyers of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explosive-cabbage Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Oh ok not to worry. If not gone by Tuesday ill scrap it. Save me the pump if you are scrapping it. andrew e 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanky Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 If you're going to scrap it then for goodness sake grab the battery, bulbs, wheels (if possible), wiper blades and anything else universal off it before it goes for fragging. Even if its not the same as your Vectra, helping others out with a battery, bulb or somesuch either for a small consideration or free has got to be good for your karma and banish this bad luck more quickly. I understand you might not be able to keep big stuff, but electrical bits, the stereo, battery and things ought to be easy to stash somewhere. Whats the spare wheel like? is there any fuel in it that could be extracted and stored in jerry cans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Save me the pump if you are scrapping it.Is it not worth collecting for the price of a takeaway to go in the spares pile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 I've nowhere to store odds and ends etc and neighbours of shared house will start bitching about cars. After thinking on this a bit more ive come to the conclusion of if anyone here has space to strip and sell off parts to forum members then anyone here can have car for free. Only a small gesture but I'm trying to say thanks to everyone here who has assisted me in anyway explosive-cabbage, Tamworthbay, oldcars and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 And as its still insured for now I will tow it on a steel bar anywhere within reason but I would need a driver for that andrew e 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 EC, I saw a 309 with a diesel engine in the scrapyard on Saturday, it was GLDT or something. The belt driven pump was very visible on the front. How much is scrap recently? Still haven't dragged my Astra estate (full of metal) out yet. explosive-cabbage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Scrap still low,I can get up to 45 quid for saxo on car take back but they want it complete. No taking pumps off etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaShrimp Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I know you've been through a lot of shit lately but if all this needs is a gearbox and they're about £40/50 on eBay then why not get one stuck on. Working you can sell it for a profit that'll help towards the Vectra. I know you're pissed off but I don't get why you're ditching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 The reason is AS I cant have two broken cars outside the house,don't want to give anyone any ammunition. Also I really cant be doing with roling around underneath trying to wrestle a box in plus hassle of finding one etc. Id rather put time into the vectra beko1987 and explosive-cabbage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thats the right frame of mind. Either get a free car, or put time (cos it doesnt need much money) into the vectra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Can people actually object that you have a broken car on the driveway? If my neighbour came round complaining about my car being a mess I'd tell him to keep his nose out. It's not like you are encouraging a rodent infestation or you've slung a piss stained mattress on the garden.

beko1987 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Not legally I imagine, even a broken but legal car on the road is fine, but if you're at a low ebb anyway, and have dodgy neighbors, the hassle could be too much, especially if you have to live with these people. Depends how well your neighbors will take to being told to FRO. Would the wrose case be they take you off their crimbo card list/stop saying hellow in the street, or worse case they set fire to your cars/house/dog?

bub2006 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 I just don't want or need hassle of two broken cars and awkward people Sam. The saxo has a good rear beam on it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Oh I hear you. If I wanted to procure a 3rd car I;d have to go and speak with 4 of our neighbors who are usually arses abut that sort of thing, but would probable be ok with me as I fixed their car/hoover in the past. If I didn't however, snotty notes/blocking in would occur. We can't all have the luxury of a big driveway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I decided that the couple at no 84 should have a red door, I'd be hardly likely to bang on their door insisting they paint it because I say so.

warren t claim Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 My advice would be to just scrap it ASAP. I'm not saying you shouldn't keep a few spares from it but knowing your luck you'll probably catch legionnaires disease from the washer fluid.
