red5 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 1x Proton 1.3 Saloon for your perusal Mot'd till June 2015 Grubby, slightly tatty. Needs a good clean Has clutch that slips under load - pottering about it's ok. Am currently doing 35 odd miles round trip to work and back in it with no bother. Rear lamps were leaking - boot drained and board drying in garage. Jack/wheelbrace freed off (also in garage). Will refit bung into boot before sale. It does want a clutch however. Dentage on n/s/f winf/door - see pics.Rear bumper adrift - see pics. Valve clearances done, oil and filter changed , thermostat changed and coolant flushed.rear drums stripped, cleaned and adjusted. Bearings cleaned and re-greased. It's grubby, but 56k on clock that looks about right. 5 forward gears! Electric clock. Remote release for fuel flap and boot. No PAS, No sunroof, No electric windows, No CDL, No dash dimmer, No headlamp aim adjuster, No... £150 ono - drip feed payments accepted. Deserves more than I can spend time wise on it. Semi-C, UltraWomble, mat_the_cat and 3 others 6
Jim Bell Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Nice mats. That looks a bargain. Bet the clutches are a piece of piss in these?
Cavcraft Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 New clutch only £45 on eBay, this is a bargain for someone.

red5 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Nice mats. That looks a bargain. Bet the clutches are a piece of piss in these? Yep - 2/3 hours on a 2 poster. Mats are Protonâ„¢ and therefore win. ps - 5-ish hours for sale and it's not sold...scrapper/it's not what it used to be/cock on a door et al.. Cavcraft 1
red5 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Thats the most unprobable fact ever. I like it. Kind of - the Mpi injection was a mixture of Galant/Lancer..parts bin ftw.
tooSavvy Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Mats are Protonâ„¢ and therefore win.Full set of dealer mats ('liberated' from my Mpi hatch) are resplendent in MrSavvy TS

skattrd Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 red5 someone on the AS cars for sale group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1532199727049618) has expressed interest in this fine steed, it might be worth popping on there if you use Faceache

red5 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Non-sale bump. Mega-sale/giveaway etc etc free stuff yadda yadda 'WeGoYugo WeAllGoYugo Great value Swithland' and so on. But not Yugo obviously. £100 Or i'll put a bloody clutch in it myself. Or swap for an air compressor......mine just expired with clankage..

Cavcraft Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 It's a map of the UK firing a massive spunk bubble at Iceland. Ireland didn't want any part of it, so were left out. MrDuke and oldcars 2
bub2006 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Love the steering wheel on these. My aunt had a k plate 1.5se with leccy windows etc. Steering was very light I think she said. I think they look great from the front end too
