Yes but what exactly?

[Felly Magic]

The entire nearside has a BFO bollard scrape down it?

[cort16]

Nope but close

[Felly Magic]

Both doors pushed in?

[twosmoke300]

Back doors smashed in ? 😮

[scaryoldcortina]

Accident damage on the nearside?

Is it also on your watch list?

 

I'm staying out of this because it's on mine...

[scaryoldcortina]

also cheap because beaker and animal are trapped inside.

[Felly Magic]

I just guessed due to the photos

[cort16]

Both doors pushed in?

 

Correct.

I thought it might be a good buy, sling a couple of doors on it

 

 

Doesn't look so clever in this picture I bet the b-pillar is just about in the drivers seat.

Don't be silly they never worked. BMW don't even fit bulbs from the factory.

 

On all other points, no.

[scaryoldcortina]

smokey engine and/or poor oil pressure which "might" be a sensor fault and NEVER is.

[LabRat]

Gearbox fault?

CAR HAS OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ON, WE HAVE STARTED THE CAR JUST SO WE KNOW IT RUNS...A BIT OF INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THE OIL PRESSURE SENSORS DO GO WRONG ON THESE HOWEVER THIS CAR MAY/MAY NOT HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE

[scaryoldcortina]

Heh. No one bins a 6k car without changing the £10 sensor first. Can you go again, I'm busy.

[scaryoldcortina]

Actually dont - i have an idea, BRB...

[scaryoldcortina]

OK.



A mechanic I know has been bothering me all week to come look at this lovely* 307 he just got. It won't go, he got given it by the previous owner who was sick and tired of it randomly not starting then being fine again. Final straw was when it refused to go on a filling station forecourt literally seconds after being fed £70 in diesel. Matey boy got the car free in exchange for towing it and extracting the fuel.

 

He couldn't fix it. An autolelectrician* ran codes and then gave up. I finally got to see it at 3 this afternoon, spent less than 5 minutes pondering and advised him to buy something. At about 5 he rang to say he got one, fitted it and the car started straight away.

 

What did he get?

[Parky]

A gallon of petrol and a box of matches?

[scaryoldcortina]

I suggested that on the phone to try and avoid even looking at it. To make things worse the damn thing was in Washington.
