fatharris Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Who else forgot about this car? I know I did, and I own the bloody thing. This hasn't left TwoSmokes' yard for a long time (sincere thanks to him for persevering with it for so long!) and sadly the prognosis isn't good, all low-cost remedies have been done, and it's only expensive ones from here on out. I'm out of enthusiasm, it's out of MOT, and it will not attain one without the misfire being sorted and it /still/ needs a set of tyres. I think its a case of "cut the cats off, and weigh it in" as I'm not keen on the idea of sinking more cash into it, especially as I'm going through a few personal crises that require large dollops of cash to fix very soon. Time to have a very long think. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It always ran okay before you sods effed about with it! Okay, it occasionally used to flash a light at you and misfire like a bastard, but the good old 'switch it off and on again always worked It was a decent(ish) car, worth saving I think... but not by me! purplebargeken and Ohdearme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatharris Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I popped in to drop off the documents today to find that the Kia has been earning it's keep whilst staying at chez DeuxSmoke. So that's it then, the end of the Magictits.

rainagain Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I meant would it be worth a roffle for the scrap value. I’m sure there’s other masochists like me out there that would like a crack at getting this running right for a the price of a roffle ticket. tommytwo, Kringle and bangernomics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
