Lankytim Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 @@@@@@PRICE DROP- WE WILL NOT BE BEATEN ON PRICE!!!!! £200@@@@@@@@@ Hi gang, My inlaws want to liquidate their Rover 25. Its a 2001 51 plate. 1.4 MPI in rotting flesh light green. GOOD POINTS. A)only has 53k on the clock.b)Just been serviced with all new filters and oil.C)I fitted a throttle body and cable from an MGZR to de restrict the engine so it now drives very well.D) Head gasket done a couple of years ago (although I have no paperwork to prove this, the PO is a family friend and I can remember them having it done)E) I replaced a couple of oil seals on the ends of the cams to cure an oil weep.F) Wheel in each cornerG) Good on pezH) Overall a lovely motor. BAD POINTS.A) Scabby front wings plus some scabs on the rear arches.b )EML light on (TBH who cares?)C) Exhaust blowing (not badly though) I haven't looked at it, it could be repairable with a bit of paste and a coke can or something.D) A couple of tyres are pretty lowE) Shit colour As you can see, the good points exceed the bad points. The MOT is up on the 5th of June and the TAX is up in August. It will need the exhaust looking at plus a couple of tyres to pass. Its being sold because the inlaws are going down to 1 car, now they are retired. OK, it's not the most desirable of cars but it's a good motor and should do someone a good turn. Other than the bits mentioned it I can't see it needing much to get an MOT, if anything. Collection from Stoke On Trent. N.B I want to keep the AA badge.
saucedoctor Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Front wings are £35 from Euro Car Parts, btw. The rust in the rear arches is catchable. As long as the cat is OK, the rest of the exhaust is dirt cheap. Will probably need track rod ends by now, but they're cheap too.Oh yeah - who ever buys it - ditch the standard/OEM locking wheel nuts. They're cheap shit. (Looks like at least one is already gone)GLWTS.
fordperv Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 This site's not what it used to be, Joking aside looks a good buy for someone needing a runaround
HillmanImp Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 flesh light green I would say this is darker (NSFW) http://fleshone.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/green-fleshlights/green-lady-limited-edition-fleshlight.jpg Gerald 1
Lankytim Posted May 18, 2014 Author Posted May 18, 2014 It's not far off to be fair. Who the F would want a green fleshlight? (not that I know what one of them is)
Lankytim Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 If nobody buys this I'm going to fill it full of Semtex and crash it into a kitten orphanage. Partridge and Cavcraft 2
Lankytim Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 This is getting baled soon. £200 with the tax? That's LESS THAN IT'S COMBINED TAX AND SCRAP VALUE. phil_lihp 1
Lankytim Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Well, I hope you bastards are all proud of yourselves. I still have the wheels if anybody wants them. I remembered it had new front brakes a few months ago too! Partridge and HillmanImp 2
Lankytim Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 No its not. Everyone should hang their heads in shame. brickwall 1
trigger Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I wouldn't mind the alloys for my Acclaim but your bloody miles away!
Lankytim Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Remember trigger, they can easily migrate to Felixstowe....
trigger Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Oh! That's a good thought, what's the likelihood of you traveling this way in the near future? I might be selling the car soon anyway as I fancy a change again so it's no panic.
Lankytim Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Well, my lorry visits Felixtowe every night Monday to Friday, I could give them to my night driver to take down with him. Only problem is he gets there about midnight and he'd need to have a safe place to drop them off. Maybe he could just stick them in that little room with the phone at the bottom of the crane or something.
Lankytim Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 YS M8, CAN U PAYPAL THA CASH 2 ME NOW PLZ Cavcraft 1
Bren Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Should have been raffled. 20 people x £10 = £200. Could have been 2nd prize after Barry Shitpeas' ovlov.
Cavcraft Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Could have been 2nd prize after Barry Shitpeas' ovlov. Don't worry about that, plans are afoot. crapcarcollector 1
