doubleyeller Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hi all, I took this as a partex from yehitsryan who needed the Lancer. The only problem is I don't want it lol So here it is in all it's glories* 108,000 and MOT till December. A few spots of rust, overall it's ok and the dash change is a fun break from the norm. He drove it 250 miles to partex it so seems to run ok... It's got a new sump and brake lines. The sump gasket has been poorly fitted, and there is a small oil leak because of this £300 or £5 a ticket Located in Chard Somerset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgetgricey Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Whereabouts are you, as could be interested in a couple of tickets. doubleyeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleyeller Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Sorry! It's in Chard Somerset. But can deliver for fuel and a ticket back within a radius of say 150 miles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat4 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'll have number 33 if it goes to a roffle please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleyeller Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Ok well price now dropped to £5 a ticket, 2 for £9. BIN is £300. Anybody tempted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 These are ace but surprisingly difficult to sell in my experience Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 They're not especially ace, but are pretty dreadful to get rid of. Call in the crusher. Mr Bump and loserone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These (and I speak from 2 days experience) are absolutely and totally ace! The power it has is absolutely staggering for a 1.4 and dash change is a fun and interesting quirk - personally I would definitely keep it if I were:1) Not going travelling2)Had the facilities to get the sump gasket sorted - been quoted £150 for this £5 a ticket? It's a great roffle in my big headed opinion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I think at £2 a ticket it could be a laugh, but £5 for a dull car which needs work? Maybe it's just me, the last roffle i ran was £1.50 a ticket and I could have weighed it in for more than that..

doubleyeller Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Right then people, due to the lack of enthusiasm I am going to offer this car one last shot at life. The autobreaker place that was mentioned on here as offering generous bridge prices has quoted a bit over £200, but I prefer not to kill a viable car so if anyone wants this at a rock bottom bargain £200 please get in touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leanycan Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Would hate to see this car go over the bridge for the sake of a leaky sump gasket... still got plenty in it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk doubleyeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleyeller Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 It's a hoot to drive too Ryan. I just can't keep it so there it is. How you getting on with the Lancer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leanycan Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 The Lancer is great mate. Not as good on petrol as I thought I would be. However I think it will take me a bit of time to get use to it. Probably only getting 350 mile to a tank at the minute Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically they're a bit underpowered for the weight of the car, a 2 litre non turbo would probably actually return better economy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twosmoke300 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 If it helps to sell it - they don’t have a sump gasket - just silicone . Even cheaper to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I now own this, albeit temporarily... My insurance company were a bit huffy about covering it on a multicar policy, quoting £1070, so I told them to stuff it. Then my uncle messaged me to say his Renault Scenic diesel had shat it's turbo and did I know of any bangers for sale... Well, he's not new to Autoshite having owned the ex Station / Barmatt Nippa previously. Wingz123, Dan_ZTT, Flat4 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
