Cavcraft Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 It may have, Vanny, as it does bear a Liverpool area reg plate. The tyres could defo be of use me old china as a couple on the car are really shit but the spare is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanny Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well i can either drop them over toward the end of the month, or you can go get them yourself? Glad i've finally found a home for them. When they went into stores they where to good and too new to ditch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Right, some shitty Internet based car scrappage outfit have offered me £130 for the car. Obv. I'll whang the good battery off and swap it for a shit one if that happens. I'd still much rather someone took it on though, it'd be a right bleeding waste of a car if it got weighed off. Thus if anyone can beat that by a quid or more get in touch please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Avoid motorways? No need! The 1-litre 4-speed copes fine with motorways. When I met my wife, she was using her's to commute 35 miles to Oxford down the M40. Apparently, she once covered a fair few motorway miles not realising she was still in third gear...

Cavcraft Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yes Tim but if you bought a bottle of white wine so I can pretend I paid for it and treat my missus that'd sweeten the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanny Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Lankytim, possibly/probably it depends if dad has taken it all to the tip or not. I definitely still have the wheels. I'm up Chester way over the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigmund Fraud Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hey Vanny, do you still have those bits available? Also.. Does anybody know if a Mk1 drive shaft will fit this model? As far as I know, the driveshafts from any 106/Saxo/AX should fit. I would probably check the part numbers to be sure, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_Rocket Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Be careful with the driveshafts, there are different types on 106's one for a tapered hub bearing and one for a flat type- not sure what the late AX's take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yeah, there's early/late type shafts, plus the fancy ones off sporty ones which are equal length. This will take any non VTR/VTS/XSi/GTI early shaft off any saxo/106/ax I would guess but you're around the changeover year. Have a look at yours when its off. Drop the box oil first or you'll make a mess, alternatively jack the car up on a MASSIVE angle and you might get away with it but this has never worked for me. Filling the gearbox back up is a lot easier through the breather on the top than through the fill plug on the end like what haynes tells you to do, just take the fill plug out and stop filling when it pisses out. 2l bang on from empty to full. Tapered: None Tapered: I've got a good Saxo VTR engine in my nans shed if anyone wants to make this into TRAK DAY CAR 4 TRAK DAYS. Sadly I've no brightly coloured roller paint, deathtrap JTF bucket seats with bits of plasterboard anglebead to hold them in or any of the other usual trak slag stuff. But iginoring the usual idiocy, an AX with a VTR engine does go well and will still return MPGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 ...Just out of curiosity, how easy is it to stick one on then? Oh, and thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
