Jim Bell Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Any, any, any, any. Wefindantcar! Dotautoshitedotcom!Your mission is to find a terrible shagged out car, ideally recently crashed, hopefully in need of a few hundred quids worth of immediate work, with a broken drivers window (ideally) and a Lucas fuel pump. I know its asking a lot, but I would really like to buy one from a dealer trying to wring as much profit as possible out of what is basically an end of life vehicle. Hopefully with a fucked clutch and in need of a cam belt.Go!Winner gets two three numbers in the draw when I get sick of it after a month and roffle it.And a free decal.

Have to pass on that. Does look nice though.

Jim Bell Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Does anything that you kindly posted run on straight veg man? I'm guessing the 306 might, if it has a Bosch pump. 320touring 1

I'm guessing the 306 might, if it has a Bosch pumpThe early (upto about 2002/3) VAG Tdis will run on veg no problem- bosch pumped. Skattrd on here has a Bora with that lump and many thousands of veg based mileage. I'll be running my Octavia on it as soon as I run out the current tank of derv.
Jim Bell Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 These veg-friendy? http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C624359 I'm not sure man. Anyone else know?

Jim Bell Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C598693# I wouldn't mind a nice BX. That's not one though.

Jim Bell Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Looks nice that. Too high roller for a work comuter though. I might as well drive one of the pez cars I current own to get 30mpg. Insurance would eat up any actual fuel savings too. Verdict: not for me.
John F Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Bah! You wanted the nicest MOT'd car within budget and now you're packing in a load of other caveats? Ah'm oot. lol. anonymous user 1

Skattrd has a c250 Td Merc estate for sale- the 2.5 om605 engine will run on veg. he gets mid 40s mpg out it.http://autoshite.com/topic/18152-merc-w202-c250td-estate-for-sale-see-page-4/ Lacquer Peel 1

Jim Bell Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Have you thought about being a bit fussier? Coz, like with just over £500, the world is literally your oyster.Indeed, if I had the right amount of money for what I want, I wouldn't need any help finding one. It would be no challenge and there would be no requirement to write this thread. That's kind of the point of the thread.

oldcars Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Sorry, this prob should go on the silly question thread but how can you tell what motor will run on veg? Is it all to do with the fuel pump, and if so why? We find anyshite.com, we find anyshite.com from £50 to £588. we find,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
