sutty2006 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Some of you may remember this fade to pink astra that I was tasked with buying about 4 years ago. Its current lease plan has now expired and the nice old dear has bought herself an Audi A1 of 2013 vintage. This is good news for me, as now I no longer have to go out to this vehicle everytime something goes wrong (or in the last case, she couldnt release the hand brake). Original Collekshun fred http://autoshite.com/topic/18132-half-arsed-collekshun-fred-xxx-auto-pogweasel-content-nsfw/page-2 Its a 1.4 Auto. Pre facelift, merit with absolutely no street cred what so ever.Its MOTd till the middle of Brexit.Has 4 nearly newish tyresI did the timing belt last week. Ideally, it needs the water pump replacing too as the belt isnt as tight as it could be.... but it looks IN there, and I didnt want to spend 3 days drilling it out of the block (pump included). For last MOT it had new rear brake hoses, cylinders, flexis and pipes, Front disks and pads. Ive also replaced the induction pipe from the airbox to the manifold (the last GM pipe available in the country believe it or not) It runs, it drives, it stops.... but its no spring chicken. The auto box needs a little time to warm up otherwise it has a tendency to not go anywhere. Ive had no issues driving it and its come to my house with no issues, but the old dear did. The brakes may need bleeding again. It stops but the pedal is a little "wooly" Its a little crumbly in places, but solid enough for MOTing and the paint is quite obviously faded Its done 67000 miles to the shops and back. What Im after. Cash is king, but Im currently after a recovery lightbar. Full width (120cm ish) 360 degree flashy flashy for my discovery. Ideally one like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-48-88-LED-Light-Bar-Amber-Strobe-Beacon-Recovery-120cm-1200mm-1-2-Metre/113256682014?epid=27023887983&hash=item1a5e9fd21e:g:1WMAAOSw0VZboLJJ:rk:2:pf:0 However, if you can get a full working 360 LED light bar of same spec cheaper, then you're the winner. Otherwise, £155 buys it. I may give it a clean. Emphasis on the "MAY" I live in Stoke on Trent and can collect you from Stoke Station if you dont get mugged on the way through.

sutty2006 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I remember running the front tyres at a slightly higher psi for manoeuvre purposes. It’s definitely full misery spec. Doesn’t even have central locking or electric windows. Why would you want them anyway? Haha Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangernomics Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Tempted by this just because it’d piss my shit parking neighbours off. Are these capable of 40+ mpg on a run?

lisbon_road Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yes, should beat 40 mpg on a run. Probably MPi which will definitely beat it, could be SPi which is more marginal but should still be better than 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I took pity on it yesterday and gave it a quick clean inside. Didn’t bother with the seats tho, I’ll let the new owner bask in its filthy history. And I took it for a spin round the block, it’s not that bad!
