purplebargeken Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 P reg Disco, manual. 5 door jobbie in blue. Inside is reasonable. Engine is good, nice engine and good gearbox but the clutch is slipping and the pedal has jumped to it's death on the floor. Poss clutch are but could be anything. Budget for a new clutch. Doesn't drive, so will need trailering. Bodywise is a bit tatty. It is rusty where the body mounts onto the chassis by the front wheel arches. Back end isn't too bad. Car Take Back have offered £250, so it anyone wants it then £275 or so would get it. MOT till June or July. Location is Enfield EN2. Please pm me if you are interested. Photos tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmatt Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Clutch forks aren't actually too bad a job so long as you've got a lift or a pit. It's do-able on the drive but the gearbox and T-box are fookin heavy. John F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do it yourself with two trolley jacks, but it's not much fun. Mine was made easier by the 2" lift & 3" oversize tyres meaning the car was high enough when stood to drag the box out from underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hiya John, could you give Andrew a call please to sort the details out for the Disco kollekshun. I think he has tried to call be it didn't seem to work, or it could just have been him. Hard to say really. Cheers fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
