Sold Shonky Rifledropper Barge Now Solderised - Forum as Weird as Usual - Caution: 405 Content!

[Junkman]

I'm reluctantly selling Fernand, our beloved family car, which gave us many a memorable moment. On the 25th May 1994, a cold and drizzly day, a very proud...

 

Oh wait, tis Autoshite, innitt?

 

Verlourstastic Bader-spec wafty garlicbarge up for grabs. Has ridiculous OMGMPG because not veggie/Bosch pump/more pedals than most of you have feet.

Has keep fit nothing, but some of the elektrickery did a Peugeot.

Had some work done for its last MoT, first and foremost the dangerous to public safety rear numberplate replaced. As an added bonus, the homicidal one is still in the boot, because I couldn't be arsed to ditch it.

 

It also had some welding, steering rack gaitors, brake pipes, and other stuff I can't remember/don't give a shit about, like some of the tyres are less than a year old, others still good and a lot of the exhaust is newish.

 

There is basically nothing wrong with the bloody car. It's used daily and I did two trips to Salzburg, two to Frankfurt, one to Wimereux, and criss-crossed England numerous times, including that there London and even 'Nam. It never gave the slightest trouble. Also, of all the 2.0 autos I had hitherto, this is the fastest (120 OMGMPH on Hitlerbahn) and the one that uses the least petrol (easily 450 miles to a 55 litre fill on a run, if you don't do daft stuff).

 

So here goes:

 

Peugeot 405 GTX 2-litre Automatic

MoT until 12 August 2016

130,000ish miles

Perfectly driveable

Radio works

Cigarette lighter works

Front interior light works, including the reading lights

Key blip works (immobiliser removed by Romanian, so no worries should it not work one distant day)

Blipless spare key set present

All four hubcaps present

Heater is toasty warm

 

 

It wouldn't be a Peugeot if it didn't have some things wrong with it.

 

Headliner sagging

Rear interior light non-op (which is actually the real reason for sale)

Passenger doors central locking a bit temperamental, especially when it's raining

Fuel gauge has a mind of its own, but the low fuel warning light is working, so is the trip counter

Aircon not working, but I never missed it. Like everything else in the UK, it might just need a regas

Driver window express switch only working on the way up

It had a slight shunt at the rear right, which left a little crease in the boot floor. There is slight water ingress in that area

Dent in left side of the bootlid

There is also a leak from the antenna, so the front interior light sometimes turns into an aquarium

The clock has the typical fadage to the LCD, so it can't be read, same goes for the outside temperature

Slight oil leak

 

There may be a few more niggles trivial enough for me not to remember right now.

 

Sorry, no 20p coin jammed in handbrake mechanism anymore.

 

Have some pics, lads:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would suit the right person.

 

Oh, and I want 450 Shiterpounds for it, please.

It is located in Stockport, which used to be famous for cultivating Cannabis in the olden times. Nowadays it is merely famous for cultivating Cannabis.

[garbaldy]

nice but is that number plate legal?

[dugong]

That first shot is wonderful.

 

Car is boss. GLWTS.

[EssDeeWon]

Your displaying photo's of an illegally spaced number plate.

 

Is someone going to call the police on 101 or shall i?

[Taff]

that number plate. Jesus H Christ, what were you thinking?

[Lacquer Peel]

I'm pretty sure these have a 70 litre tank, the estates do anyway. /pedant mode

 

Looks beautiful, they are such a great drive.

[Junkman]

Yeah, but every time we fill it, it swallows 55-ish litres.

I haven't let it run dry to figure out the real capacity.

[Jim Bell]

Thats a lovely colour and a lovely car.

[RoadworkUK]

Your lovely big house could do with some nice UPVC windows by the look of things.

[Junkman]

Thats a lovely colour and a lovely car.

Buy it!

[NorfolkNWeigh]

So,is it a coincidence that a certain Preston based star of the Tat thread finished at 20.35 tonight?

[lincolndanny]

It's fucked

[Junkman]

Tis not!

A Junkman owned car can be bought sight unseen.

[Junkman]

So,is it a coincidence that a certain Preston based star of the Tat thread finished at 20.35 tonight?

 

A total coincidence, alright.

[Jim Bell]

Buy it!

 

I would only sell it again in 2 months.

[320touring]

[purplebargeken]

The antenna is leaking! Scrap the fucker.

 

That is lovely, has the right gearbox but it appears I am now a Ford slut so I ain't buying this

[carlo]

I think three of them may make me a tad unpopular...

 

Very tempting though.

[Cavcraft]

[Junkman]

EFA

[garbaldy]

[Junkman]

OK, it's on a temporary insurance policy until 8th December now.

Please save me from having to list this on the Mongbay.

[hairnet]

[Junkman]

Someone was daft enough displayed impeccable taste and will experience a sophisticated yogurt truck explosion soon.

[dunnaz]

I'm very much looking forward to driving this back down south and wondering how much fuel I have left!

[Jim Bell]

Thank THE FLYING SPAGGETTI MONSTER for that!

 

Well bought that man.

 

I dont think I could have held out much longer.

[chaseracer]

I have drivved this motah and it is very fine.

[Junkman]

I can honestly say that I'm confident the car is good.

We would have never considered selling it if that estate didn't come up for sale.
