tommotech Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I took a trip across the bridge today, with the stripped C3 Pluriel body shell. Even with no engine, gearbox, interior or roof gubbins it still weighed in at 800 kilos. I was only expecting to get 40 or 50 quid, however I was pleased to have £112 transferred from EMR to my account. Value of scrap has certainly increased, last time I weighed a car in was more than two years ago and I struggled to get 40 quid for a Metro.

SiC Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Looking like I may be able to rent a garage and not cost too much either. Going to have a quick view outside tonight and if it generally looks ok, I'll get the keys to have another look inside. I guess as long as its dry and reasonably secure it'll be a go'er. Its only a 10-15 minute walk from home too, so very practical and the garages are part of a retirement flat building - so I guess its hopefully less likely for trouble makers/kids wanting to have a bit of "fun" at my expense with my car + stuff. Told Mrs SiC and her response was: Rolls eyes Admittedly a ring is a bit cheaper (well what she wants is) than another car. So had a wander up to where it would be. Closed up so couldn't see inside but I can pay a £10 deposit and get keys to take a look. Only irritating thing is that it's in front of a parking area and there is a yellow cross hatched area. The garage next to it has a hand written sign saying it's in use, so I suspect people park in front when it's busy. Like this: Even though that one was locked, a neighbouring one was open so I took a quick look inside. Basically as you expect a garage! It backs onto a pile of soil, so I was worried about damp a bit. The asbestos roof had marks of where sealant was between the pieces. That wet looking mark at the back didn't feel wet, so not sure what could have caused it. I did wonder if it might have just something on a shelf back there that was spilt or even some car exhaust spewing out crap. brickwall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sectional jobs that are backed onto earthbanks or soil accumulation will leech the water in through the joints and puddle on the floor. Trouble is, you don't always see the water until a couple of days after a downpour. Mine does this. I blagged a massive PVC tarp from work and use it as a floor covering, pulling back the ends after any significant rainfall. It dries out quite quickly....

Five minutes later, I received an email advising me that I had successfully purchased and paid for an item and it is waiting to be despatched Of all the items in my watch list, at least it chose something useful - an obd scanner - thank fuck it wasn't something more expensive - I must have fumbled the buttons in my pocket somehow The Moog, RobT, Tickman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 When I had the tyres fitted they had trouble sealing them. Recently I thought they'd been looking a bit low and I was going to pump them up, just hadn't got round to it yet, last time I drove anywhere was Tuesday morning, and the weather's been rubbish. It'd been fine up until then.Unless it's an actual puncture, it seems like the cold weather here's made it unseal or something (car was at a friend's house in central Manchester where it's 2 degrees warmer all weekend). Got up and went out today, reversed off the drive, try to set off and there's a grumbling noise and the car pulls violently left. Can't drive that so stuck it back on the drive and got out to find the above. Don't want to use the pristine spare in January and the tyre fitters should sort it FOC based on the trouble they had sealing them so I'll chuck it in the Bini and run up soon. Rim looks undamaged luckily. danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if that's better or worse for leaking/damp soaking through? At least the soil isn't against it. It's also full of crap. So I'll probably have to end up waiting for that to be cleared before I can sign up for it. Probably going to be a couple of weeks at least best case. brickwall, anonymous user and richardthestag 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_70s Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Looks shit, but I spent 2 hours lying under my car in the rain today as the bootlid drained directly on to my right knee and my right leg was slowly submerged into a puddle so I'd fucking kill for it at this point.
