M'coli Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 That's awful, what a shower of cunts. You say it happened yesterday morning, I'm assuming it happened in the wee small hours? Skut 1
Skut Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 That's awful, what a shower of cunts. You say it happened yesterday morning, I'm assuming it happened in the wee small hours?Wee hours is our best guess. Didnt leave the flat till midday yesterday and suddenly saw the passenger door flapping in the wind. Still mystified as to why they broke the steering column when they clearly couldnt drive it anywhere with my Alto and a big VW van blocking it in. Its now at my new place until we can work something else out. Id hoped to announce my new lockup complete with engine hoist under better circumstances. Only got the keys on Saturday afterno. I robbed the steering column out of my Y10 and transplanted in order to shift it. Drove as well as ever. M'coli 1
Slartibartfast Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 I mean, why? Of all the vehicles to try and steal? Not that this fine beast is not an object of great desire to those of the correct mindset, but I didn't imagine that would include the local disreputable youths. Tamworthbay 1

DVee8 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Fuckwits of all fuckwits..Karma will hopefully come knocking.
philibusmo Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 I think we can all agree that this is pretty fucking shit overall but in no way Skuts fault. I'm just thankful that it hasn't ended the same way that Triggers Belmont did. But anyway, many thanks to Skut for sorting a door and steering wheel so quickly, now does anyone have a lead on a steering column? I've got a contact I'm going to have a talk with and see what can be done, hopefully we'll be able to get one to Scotchland ASAP and get this mended. STUNO 1

Dick Cheeseburger Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Utter bastards. At least it was boxed in...
philibusmo Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 News in from Twitter, if it's just the ignition barrel and steering lock that are jiggered then it is a generic fiat part; 59232004 is the part number, so it should be possible to source this from Pandas, Cromas, Deltas and other Fiat group 80s models. If not, there is a few new ones in Italy for €99 on eBay. If the entire column is bollocksed then this may be a little more of a search.

Skut Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Got this getting mailed tomorrow. Its not adjustable but it should get the car mobile Courtesy of Si creator of Seat Marbella Turbo strangeangel, philibusmo, beko1987 and 5 others 8
philibusmo Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 Right then gang, I'm hoping this is mobile again now. Is anyone interested in buying this mobile shenanigan or am I going to have to work out a hair brained plan to get it back to Devon, and make a proper effort at selling it?

phil_lihp Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Why not raffle it? If it does need to head south let me know. I'll assist if I can. Dick Cheeseburger 1
Skut Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 It's ready for whoever wants it as long as you don't mind a white passenger door. I'll get some pictures up when i visit the workshop later in the week.
Craig the Princess Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Just saw the door breaking episode. Hope the sub-human scum that did it get the kicking they deserve. For Fiats Sake, Skut and eddyramrod 3
M'coli Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 I don't have the space! I'd love to have it, but I don't have any room for it at the moment, I'd need to have some circumstances change to allow it in.
philibusmo Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 Ok then, well worst comes to the worst I might be able to sort some sort of multi vehicle extravaganza to collect it, unless there is any way to Shitely it to Lancashire where I could easily pick it up in just over a weeks time?
philibusmo Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 I think if I had the car and spares together, I could then do a proper sale ad and get it sold pretty quick smart.
M'coli Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Jesus, I can't believe I'm asking this, but: Skut - would there be any problem with you storing this in your unit until I can get sorted? I can pay storage costs if they're not too much (not directed at you, but just in general!)Phil - how many spares are there? How many times will they fill a Peugeot 106? chaseracer 1
strangeangel Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Just saw the door breaking episode. Hope the sub-human scum that did it get the kicking they deserve. And I'm even later catching up with the news.... fucking oxygen-thieving shitheads Although I am in no position to own it, I have enjoyed following this little car's adventures - long may they continue.

stripped fred Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 That is an impressive amount and variety of spares!
philibusmo Posted December 10, 2016 Author Posted December 10, 2016 Any updates on if this is being sold to M'Coli? If not, then is there any way that this can make its way to Lancashire for next weekend?
Skut Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 Any updates on if this is being sold to M'Coli? If not, then is there any way that this can make its way to Lancashire for next weekend? M'Coli has aked me to store it until he has space available and has suggested contributing its storage costs which I'm fine with. I can't take it to Lancashire as my girlfriends father is in the process of passing away and is in a palliative care unit so with a child to look after I don't have the time to drive it anywhere.
philibusmo Posted December 10, 2016 Author Posted December 10, 2016 Damn Skut, I'm sorry to hear that and hope the next short while is as good as it can be.I was wondering if there a shite relay option available as it would be way too much to expect you to do that by yourself, especially with everything you've done to the car already. I get hold of M'Coli and see what's happening before I try and sort any thing else Skut 1
