  1. That is a bummer. That is an expensive screen from Autoglass. Still, £500 is a hell of a chunk of change. Hopefully quote 3 will be a bit cheaper!
  2. Don't say that too loud, you'll have them queuing round the block!
  3. That is grimmer than Grimms fairy tales! Brave man there! Be great to see what it's like when it's clean!
  4. That's great value! Well bought!
  5. Back in the day, a small mini clubman auto estate [I think they made them] would have suited her down to the ground! God knows what something like that would cost now!
  6. Water leaks are a pain! I remember one lad telling me that they had a customer complain he had his boot filling with water. The foreman simply remover a bung in the boot floor. 'There you go sir, the water now has a way out!
  7. Shame it's a little auto you need. I've just found this for similar money! 1999 SLK 230 Kompressor, 52k Miles, Very Tatty Paint, History, Part Ex 2 Clear | eBay
  8. Did feel it was a bit much for one that needed work, but little auto's do seem to command good money.
  9. Is this any good? Vauxhall Corsa c 1.4 Automatic 2003 Silver Mot until Aug Ulez free 49,880 miles | eBay If anyone knows how to make this a 'clicky' link, please feel free to do so.
  10. Great work on this. They were great at being 'a car'. Seen loads of late 90's Toyotas around lately. Don't know whether they are ULEZ refugees or people can no longer afford the HFM new shiny on the drive and have begged or borrowed Grandad's old car.
  11. Unfortunately, they are, or have, reached that age where they ae worth very little. For us it is great as we can pick up a very nice working vehicle for not too much cash. I do see some cars up on ebay/facebook for serious money, and yes perhaps for the very best it is warranted, but for the rest, £1250-£2000 seems about it for a cherished, low mileage example with a full MoT. These are lovely cars. They ride beautifully. The diesels are reasonably good on fuel, but the V6, on full chat, well, let me tell you, it will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and give you goose bumps! Lovely. My V6, unfortunately succumbed to the dreaded tin worm. Hopefully my tourer will fare better.
  12. Lovely looking car, but, with no MoT and a suspect clutch, worth maybe £400 tops? More probably than the scrap man would give you, but I feel that is all.
  13. Good luck. Hope it all works for you and this time the bloody thing seals!
  14. That looks great! Normally they fade to a 'lovely' shade of pink, reminds you of Penelope Pitstop! Didn't they also form the basis of the Daewoo Nexia? Probably won't help at all as they all seem to have reverted to washing machines now.
