peugeot 405 td for 65 quid anyone?

[the judge]

Hi peeps.i have just "won" on ebay a 405 td with no mot for 65 quid.

 

Its in Worcester if anyone fancies it. I have just changed jobs and have no time to fix it,or even pick it up. Ran its reg through the mot thingy,and it didnt bomb on too much.

 

Ebay number 301781431592.

 

Please someone bail me out,my conscience will drive me nuts if I have to duck out. Otherwise I will just have to suck it up and buy the bugger!!

[the judge]

Half an hour? No one? This place etc etc with yer Bentleys and Porsches. Pah!

Absolute bargain that.

[the judge]

Sold!!! When u picking it up etc etc.

[the judge]

If I can sort it,I would quite like it. Its just work ate flogging me,and I cant turn a good flogging down with xmas coming and 5 spoilt brats

MOT history website seems to have crashed again. Is that because the whole of Autoshite was trying to check this car?

 

EDIT - found it via a different URL. Rear brake issues and corrosion around front suspension upper mount rule me out. Soz.

[brownnova]

For me it's the offside registration plate lamp not working from 2011s MOT that concerns me...

 

And for that reason I'm out.

[drum]

Easy 20p brake fix on this.

[the judge]

Bastards!!!

[Lankytim]

What will "cartakeback" give for it? I once won a 405td on ebay for £75, decided I CBA collecting it and got car take back to collect it, for which they paid me £140. Never even saw the car and got good feedback too! The car take back scrappies had a good LOL at it too.

[Lacquer Peel]

Not enough to cover the finishing bid.

 

You don't see many 405s any more full stop, let alone early ones or 1.8 TDs, the problems it has don't sound terminal if you're handy with a sparkly stick.

[the judge]

Yeah,i can sparkle. Its just picking it up. Got a traders policy i hardly use,so i should go and get it really.

[stephen01]

CTB offering 25 quid if you can drop it off, what crap!

[the judge]

Come on people!! 65 quid!!! Supposed to be a good engine too. Full cheapo eggbox dash!

[D Spares & Tyres]

Oh fuck it I'll have it, catsinthewelder put me onto this and initially I said no but on reflection, £65?

 

Can't really say no can I, as I'm so local

 

Pm me details of how to arrange this, I'll shift it saturday

[the judge]

Wahoooo!!! Will email the dude for a number. Thanks

[D Spares & Tyres]

Well I picked it up and it drives perfectly

 

Booked in for MoT Monday so legal to drive home

 

Several cosmetic issues but I'm happy with it

 

Have a petrol station shot

 

 

And another

 

One small incident on way home....

[the judge]

Superb Tom!! Glad you can do something with it!!

[D Spares & Tyres]

197,000 miles but the chap had it for ten years and only done 17,000 miles in all that time with an oil change every six months!

 

He was sad to see it go but bought a 406 auto due to health issues

 

Interior almost mint and very comfy. Headlining droopy and dashboard cracked are the only two major niggles

 

Would of made more money with a decent description, I'm sure

 

Front bumper badly cracked but I still have Mr Moogs 405 so it shall be donating it very soon ☺

[The Moog]

What's the plan with my old 405? Did you ever get to bottom of running hot?

[D Spares & Tyres]

No, very strange

 

I ran it for a bit, even a-framed a car back from Oxford. Did quite a few miles in it

 

It would get warm but used to put heater on full to help.

 

It never used any oil or water, I think you may have been overfilling it as the correct level on these is around halfway down the radiator

 

When it ran out of MoT I just parked it up, shame to scrap it but too rough to fix up

 

It can just stay there and be used for parts

[Inspector Morose]

What engine was in moogs 405? Could think of a use for it and it's box. Just sayin' luyke.

BX avec les BOOST

[Inspector Morose]

And GEARZ

[D Spares & Tyres]

1905 turbo diesel with Lucas pump

 

Runs well but gets hot up hills no idea why, its had radiator, head gasket and thermostat

 

£100

 

That's what my Gambian friend will be giving for it, but if anybody here wants it that's fine

 

I shall remove it for that, you don't have to ☺

[Inspector Morose]

How in a rush are you? Just that the BX is out on loan at the moment as you have seen in other threads.

Could do with the box and linkages too to up the gearing a bit. And no doubt other bits to make it all work. Put it on the bill!

Lucas not the pump of choice but it's a start in the right direction!

[Minimad5]

Have you tried a new water pump ?
Rather tempted myself at one hundred squids.

Rather tempted myself at one hundred squids.

Had a new water pump fitted about 6 months before I bought it. Comes with stacks of history.

[CHRIS1980]

Bloody hell!!! I would have loved that. I missed the ZX earlier in the week too
