AlabamaShrimp Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Won't it pass another test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bangerfan101 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 With welding brake flexis and new bushes an tires all round. Yes. I've had it a year. Put 20k on it. All its had is 2 part worns and a breather pipe. On top of that the clutch is slipping under hard acceleration an it smells like bergan belsan mid August inside.

AlabamaShrimp Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Welding brake flexes? Don't they all just come off and you put new ones on? I'm far from an expert though. Would getting the clutch changed not be cheaper than getting another car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Not for a Shiter! RobT's Rover, Outlaw118's 306.... need I go on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bangerfan101 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Dawn My shit punctuation. It needs welding to sills, and near back axel mounts, plus the flexis an other bits. 110k and the last 20 have been hard an ruthless. Pure bangernomics here. Cost less than a weeks wage, abused til the test is out, weighed in. Repeat. eddyramrod and alcyonecorporation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'll rephrase that; I failed to realise the Rover had already been won. Not to worry, there will be another one. A swift message to Cavcraft might be in order? Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bangerfan101 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I'm gutted the 2nd picture was a duplicate of the first. It was supposed to be a picture of a yard full of old bluebirds and corrolas in a state of disrepair. Arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Also worth bumming the plate off for FordDeliveryBoy to put on the Volvo V70 he doesn't yet have. The Reverend Bluejeans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bangerfan101 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I'm just Seeing how the new one fairs putting into daily service.

purplebargeken Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Moving the scrap Alfa out of the lock up this morning and awaiting collection by my mate. Suddenly hear scrunch/scrape. The sticky out bent wing had scraped the rear arch and bit of the bumper of my mates Corsa. Hopefully SMART repair for a couple of hundred will sort it. Just what I needed. I felt bloody wretched when I knocked on their door. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
