red5 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Shameless bump before tax runs out/needs to be renewed. No interest chaps? Naturally there is a glut of For Sale ads whenever I try and sell something eg Vectra and this. Any test etc. If finances a concern e-z payment options are available Swithland Motors style. Thanks for reading/taking pity/tutting disapprovingly.Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 ^ It's a fucking Passat TDi with a long MOT for Christ's sake. What do you have to do to sell an old car these days? red5 and D Spares & Tyres 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Foxhake Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm interested. I'll get back to you tomorrow after I work out some logistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Lol! That floor mat still in the boot then? I put it in there as I didn't have the key for the car and thought it might fit to replace the missing one in the section where it leaked before you picked it up. red5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 If Sir. Foxhake doesn't want this I might be next in the queue - is it watertight-ish now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red5 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 It is. I did the pollen filter with proper vw seal/foam gasket. And resealed the bonnet pull cable.After the downpour yesterday it seems to be just slightly musty (as before ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Foxhake Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Crack on Kiltox. Due to another impending collection and time constraints, ahm oot. red5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasesdragons Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sorry for late reply, Red, I was looking for something slightly less mileage. Good luck with the sale, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red5 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 No problem. The mileage is irrelevant in some cases - this being one of them. Drives a treat. And for £240 ? Serviced, pollened etc? good luck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 The mileage is too high on a £240 car? Unbelievable. Ghosty, Lord Sterling, oldcars and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Not to worry, it's back where it belongs* Well, sort of. My FiL has it and is loving it Isaac Hunt, Cavcraft, chaseracer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Mileage is totally arbitrary at this age/price. There will be sub-100k Passats in worse fettle than this one for sure. Cavcraft and Isaac Hunt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Sorry for late reply, Red, I was looking for something slightly less mileage. Good luck with the sale, dude.Better something with starship mileage that's been looked after than........ Well played, Kiltox. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It's had the things done (suspension and water ingress) that made me dislike it when I had it before - pretty confident it's got many more miles in it Cavcraft, Lord Sterling and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Kiltox laddie, I've got the HBOL for the Passat. Want me to post it somewhere. Is the Passat still local or gone up north? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Anyone want this for a ton before it goes to meet James Brown? Test is out next month. Couple of doors don’t open. Sounds like a pulley is getting a bit tired - sounds rougher than usual when running. Rear brakes are shite aparrently. Has an oil leak. It’s pretty filthy throughout. Will be bridging it this week unless you want to wire me £100 and I’ll come get you from Gloucester station at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
