whitevanman Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 The other half has gone off the road in the Rover75, it's almost certainly a write off , Need to get a cheap car to keep her going as she travels 100 miles a day, I can get about £300 or so together, needs to be in the North of England or Scotland and be available this weekend. Ebay has nothing I would touch in the price zone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooters Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Dunc, You can have the 940 sport edition for 300 if you want, mint condition nut needs a clutch, mpg not too bad if you behave yourself! It will need towing to WVM towers and will need a new clutch. To make up for the clutch ill throw in the road tax, till November, mot June I think. Only thing to watch is a noisey pulley up front. Hell, ill even buy it back off you when you are bored with it! Photos...viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15876&p=428625&hilit=sport+edition#p428625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 needs to be in the North of England or Scotland and be available this weekend. D'you know what, there's a Voyager I fancy near Stirling, and I happen to have a cheap 406 in the north of England.... I might be having a very busy Monday!

CortinaDave Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sorry to hear that mate. I spied a Primera hatch on an R Reg in glenrothes for sale for £300 at the weekend, I dont know if its got MOT etc as i didnt stop to look but on passing it looked really tidy and was out on the main road which *suggests*its legal. I'll do a run by this eve and see if its still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitevanman Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 OK, quick update, seems she can have a courtesy car for a few days until they decide the Rovers fate, have told them I want it back as I doubt it is much more than cosmetic damage, so in lieu of knowing whats happening I'm putting Granny_Bol's Fiesta back on the road next weekend, so I HOPE the panic is off for next week,Plan B is to put the LDV Convoy I have just acquired on the road, but it has brakes that shake more than J-Lo ass and often don't bother to work at all....Plan C is to MOT the Cortina estate next weekend and use it, none of these are ideal as she 'needs' a modernish car as she is a social worker and there are standards that the council's expect from such workers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
