Guess why the heap is cheap?

[stripped fred]

Ecu fried?

[Richard]

It's been filled with diesel?

[HH-R]

Error P0212 too many McDonalds chips in upholstery

[cort16]

One of the sparkplugs is loose (I actually fixed a misfire on an identical looking picasso once - it sounded for all the world like a burnt inlet valve but I found the loose plug while running a compression test)

Fuck sake scary you're too good .

Yip it blew out a spark plug and stripped the thread on the head.

Heh. It's bedtime anyway, I have to look at loads of broken cars tomorrow.

[Dave_Q]

It's a Rover, t&t till January, for £189 of your pounds.

 

Why so cheap?

 

[cort16]

Get the obvious out the way first. Omghgf ?

Leaking fuel tank.

Is super glued to a blue garage door and can't be shifted?

[stripped fred]

There's 20p stuck in the handbrake.

I'm going to accept this.

Sellers actual words:

 

This car has broken gear stick therefore I am looking to sell it for scrap/use of parts 

 

In good condition otherwise

The turbo siezed up and then the engine ate bits of the impeller.

[beko1987]

Drivers window stuck down due to breakage somewhere?

[phil_lihp]

The colour.

[cort16]

Is it a diesel?

[EssDeeWon]

Rover 75 2.0 Connie. Mot may 2016 £300

 

 

That is not cheap, as these don't go for much more then that with all belts intact!

 

I would love to know how many miles its done for the belt to snap (that's if it has snapped the belt and not the tensioner)

[cort16]

I only called it guess why the heap is cheap because guess why the heap is fucked doesn't rhyme.

A lot of these distressed heaps are over priced when they're mostly frag fodder.

Ah I agree Cort, my comment was more aimed at the seller demanding £300 than your great thread

[jakebullet]

Pretty colour focus is a 1.8 TD. Not got it yet, though the colour guess has to be at least half a point.

[jakebullet]

Oh, and seller states " It is driveable, but for only a very short distance, so towing is strongly advised"

[Jim Bergerac]

That Focus looks nice and shiny. As such, I'm saying it's terminally rotten underneath and 'failed MOT on corrosion'.

[Bren]

I am thinking corrosion - simply because every focus I have seen that colour has rot - the one near me has door bottoms that have fallen off.

[cort16]

If it can be driven short distances I'm going to say oil light is on and it's knocking like nun locked in the boot of an Austin montego.

[scaryoldcortina]

The bottom of the radiator has dropped out so it won't hold water.

[phil_lihp]

Water pump is leaking.  Common on the Zetec petrols, not sure about the diesels.
