The other half has gone off the road in the Rover75, it's almost certainly a write off :roll: , 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....

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!

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!

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

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 :shock: 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 :roll:
