Dick Longbridge Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I know that many on here would prefer the bubonic plague rather than own a mkiv Flog. However, having done many miles in my fiancées old one, I can confirm that they are trusty old steeds, brilliant on fuel and a lot of car for the money. We were gutted when ours became scrapyard fodder following a t-boner by a giffer in his Transit. What I'm trying to say is, good luck with the sale - its a reet barg!

reb Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 This is what the computer reckons of the last 1500ish miles. Mostly town driving, bits and pieces of country roads. Immediate edit: it's the 110bhp VE pumped engine, you can tell by the red I and the fuel pump. It will probably run on veg happily enough if done properly, apparently direct injection doesn't particularly like running on it cold.

SiC Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Contis, posh. I've always wanted to dislike these, but after being in and driving a mates I changed my view. Boring yes, but solid feeling and actual springy suspension - unlike most rubber banded German stuff you get nowadays. Yes cornering is shit, but that's made up by the absorbing qualities of the suspension. VAG shit, but one of the last reasonably decent one all round with generally solid engines and boxes.

worldofceri Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 If this were to be heading southwards and the towbar fell off somewhere near Coventry, it wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen. Just sayin'... Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughant Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 £300 for that is a megabarg. I've got the Leon version and it's been immense. Despite losing 5th gear I'm still seeing around 50mpg. In fact I'm looking to get a slightly more presentable one for me other half. She'll probably hate it at first but when she realises she's only filling it up once a month will think hmmmmmm!!!!

320touring Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Much as to pains me to ask- what size are the tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 The tyres are a completely painless 195/65x15. Somebody on the local sales group has just listed a set of these wheels with mixed ditchfinders, no centre caps and no car attached for £75.Cock, that'll no work for the e36 without a second set of wheels:( Cheers for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Awesome. Just checking insurance quotes on it but if we can find it reasonably I think she will take it. Will PM you shortly Richard once we've sorted out logistics, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I just messaged Richard to ask if he was free Friday afternoon/evening. We're gonna be half way to Fife then and should hopefully be able to bring a 2nd driver. Cavcraft, Lacquer Peel, Tickman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binhoker668 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Do it. I've had one of these for over a year now as my work hack and also long distance family tank. It's been great and I've had zero probs so far. Mine's a year 2000 with about 189,500 miles on it. Solid. Flat4 and mk2_craig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely needed anything done except the starter and the subframe. Which is probably for the best since access isn't the greatest. Headlight bulbs particularly. Not an issue though as all 4 plus the sidelights have been replaced with Osrams just a month or so ago, I kept killing cheapies with basically all of my driving being at night.

reb Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Worth 6 grand in scrappage now !The main problem there is I've not owned it long enough. The second biggest problem is that'd require driving a new car, and I'd really rarher not. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
