DodgyBastard Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 The lada has miraculously fixed itself, I went to it today and it started up and drove fine with no issues, I think last time we were out in it, it was a combination of flooding it when it was warm and also some of the ignition system being soaked in water having splashed through a large puddle.I hope that's it because now I'll be afraid to use it in case it does it again.

DodgyBastard Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 I agree, orange indicators are needed. It cost me a grand total of £300 for the car which was pretty fucking good. It drives fine but has a couple of issues needing sorted including a seized blower motor and wiper linkage needing stripped down and greased. chancer, Craig the Princess and Skizzer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyBastard Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 How on earth did you find that for £300?, I had one of these briefly, gonna have to get another before prices go up.It all started with Derskines 305 that was due to be roffled, it wasn't selling out very quickly on the forum so was put on Facebook where it sold out almost instantly.A friend had enquired about swapping his 190e for the 305 but as most of the money had been collected for the roffle I had to turn him away.The roffle went ahead on Saturday and Derskine informed me that the winner had planned on banger racing it.I was a shocked that it might be meeting an untimely end on the oval especially since I knew there was a good home out there for it so I offered the banger racer £300 to forget about winning the 305 then I swapped it for the 190e.The 190e was actually up for sale for £1200...Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk Mr_Bo11ox, somewhatfoolish, dome and 7 others 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyBastard Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'd been wanting a Henry for the garage for a while but couldn't justify buying a brand new one for it to most likely be wrecked/neglected so bought a second hand one for £60. A week later I spotted a wet and dry Charles for £40.Both seem to work quite well.Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk The Moog, BeEP, LightBulbFun and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyBastard Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 I managed to get a look at the 190 in daylight, it's not bad.

DodgyBastard Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 I spotted a Micra for sale on the tat thread and having just sold the Charade I thought I'd go for a look yesterday. It was a little bit snowy outside so thought it best to take something capable.

RJC_3673 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_0566 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_0564 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_0563 by srblythe, on Flickr It drives well with no issues but I'd really like to get a standard steering wheel back on there.

Broadsword Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Really impressed with the 190E for the price. It’s definitely something that has been on the list but never quite got round to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the lilac overspray on the right hand of the dashboard, I’d say respray. Possibly originally white going by the passenger door (on the inside). danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
