Cavcraft Posted July 16, 2013 Author 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.
Vanny Posted July 17, 2013 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.
Cavcraft Posted July 18, 2013 Author 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.
dollywobbler Posted July 18, 2013 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 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.
Wilko220 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 . When I met my wife, she was using her's to commute 35 miles to Oxford down the M40...Sounds like a gr9 first date!
Cavcraft Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Genuinely struggling to think of any rust or rot at all, but I will check tonight or tomorrow and let you know
Micrashed Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Looks like Im out on this as Im trying desparatly to get Docco to sell me his Nighthawk project.Bike ownership by the backdoor and an ideal lad and dad project I think.
Cavcraft Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 And verily the weighbridge doth beckon. Anyone interested before it gets f*cked off?
Station Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Hey Billy!Does the tax and MOT run out at the end of the month (31st)???
Cavcraft Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 Tax is 30th (or 31st, whichever it is) and MOT is 26th or 28th I think.
Lankytim Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Nooo! Wasn't you checking for rust for me? have an exporter interested in my bluebird. How long can you keep it for?
Cavcraft Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 Oh shit forgot about that Tim sorry, blame the weather!I'll check later when I get home, give me a ring about 5.00pm please if you think on as it will remind me to check it overSoz about that. Ps can probably hold for a week if you want it.
retrogeezer Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 have an exporter interested in my bluebird. ah, that will be a shame...
Lankytim Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Hey Vanny, do you still have those bits available? Also.. Does anybody know if a Mk1 drive shaft will fit this model?
Vanny Posted July 24, 2013 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!
Cavcraft Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Vanster I can collect if you want and store at mine until LT can collect
Sigmund Fraud Posted July 24, 2013 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.
Rusty_Rocket Posted July 24, 2013 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!
cobblers Posted July 24, 2013 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.
Lankytim Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 ...Just out of curiosity, how easy is it to stick one on then? Oh, and thanks for the info!
petr Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Good little cars the AX I saved one from scrap paid £80 for it fixed it up only need back box and a tyre ran it for a while it even survived running a dear over! Sold it for lots more a year later. Not that many around now specially the early ones.
Sigmund Fraud Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 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. I stand corrected !
