greengartside Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The badge on the front I expect Either that or the lack of pineapples, home-made rusty bits and a roofrack. This meant the previous owner was thus 'uncool' and got rid at the earliest opportunity. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Why was it scrapped? I got it cheap because it had no MOT. I seriously doubt it's worth the effort (1.6 petrol) of even trying to bother testing it, plus I haven't the room/time/money. Plus it saves it from having some spoon fit 18" alloy wheels to it and drive round at 3.00am on cut springs. But mostly because it's a Golf.

sierraman Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've had that, get a car for £100 or so, then you think well it only wants a bit of welding and a pair of tyres, by the time you've fucked about it's making you about £30 for a weekends work after you've had about 30 text messages offering to swap it for broken Ryobi drills or virus infested laptops, you end up selling it to someone for £350.

Cavcraft Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Krujoe: It's finally happened! Obvs. like it was my son's hard work and skills, I was just a spanner-passer. Omitted to buy gear box oil, so a VERY quick test and it all seems great. Next up matching tyres (back ones puny) and a sticking brake or two to attend to, then will change those drop link things.Whilst the above was being carried out, two separate people offered me some motors, namely another Transit van (back-heeled) and a Vectra (possibility).

dieselassist Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 ...probably too late now, but the rear calipers (if they were functioning) n window regs/ with metal inner liner housing thing were/are probably worth 'harvesting', even the manual reg can be adapted to use on a leccy windows model... for someone intent on keeping eg at GTTDI or GTi or whatever tested these 'consumable vag parts', parts are now 'hard got' in the yards, n easily resalable on e-bay or whatever...

Cavcraft Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Oh, that's got sacked right off, that Golf. Within 48 hours I believe it'd gone off the DVLA register. What a terrible shame. dieselassist and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Has the ignis got 3 cylinders or moah? If it has 3 then I would wave it in Bucketeers face ... he is a perv like that and was hankering after a cheap 3 pot. I did offer to remove one of the spark plug wires from the corsa, but that didnt seem acceptable. purplebargeken, Cavcraft, Dave_Q and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 You know, I have no idea how many cylinders it has Right, was there talk of another Vectra above somewhere?

Bucketeer Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Please let me know if/when the Ignis is due to be CUL8RD. It'd do me a treat for autotest lolz and general everyday drudgery. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Well copulate my success, topped up the gearbox oil, went for a test drive and hammered on the brakes to see if it'd free off them sticking a smidge. Instead of that, a bloody brake pipe (the one coming from the load load valve thing) sprung a leak.Can you safely or legally buy a mid-pipe repair kit (c/w unions) or is it a replace the whole thing job?

Guest Hooli Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Can't see why you can't cut n flare it to add a section in. It's under no more pressure there than where the normal joints are. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Right, the Zafira's gone now. That meant it was time to fire up the Astra H as it's sat for a while unused.... Hopeless visibility and non-working speedo aside, it's a bloody ace car. Love the look of these 3 doors, black lends itself very nicely to the shape too, imho. Great to drive, feels as nice as it looks imho. Coming later, Astra part two... nacho man, DVee8, Rusty_Rocket and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
