Barry Cade Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 ITS MOT'D And yes, I made it, just. A legal,respectable car with a years mot for under a hundred quid all in (excluding tax and insurance, but including the MOT test) Fuck you James Ruppert. I was doing this before you thought you wrote the book on it. And it's gone already... ...........................................................................................wife's away to the shops. I'll see it again when it makes a funny noise/ won't start/a light comes on on the dashboard. I know what some of your responses may be to the above..... I used to hate valeting Zafira's- there are so many nooks and crannies that you were never quite sure what you'd find,,,and everything was sticky. Amazing what a few years and 40 degree temperatures can do to a dropped jelly baby. HMC, JohnK, steved40 and 3 others 6
Stroller133 Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 I've been in the back (3rd row) of a B model along with 6 other adults and I was impressed by the roominess and its oomph considering the load.If there were 7 of you in the 3rd row, how many were in the front rows? I'm here all week! Err - I'll get me coat.....
Barry Cade Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Coming to the market soon, need to fit a front wheel bearing, had a rumbly left one, replaced it, then could just hear the same on the right. Whang a couple of tyres on it, replace MAF as the light's on and bung it on Gumtree. Wish me luck... What kind of clientele will a 51 plate Zaffy bring to my door I wonder. It is still a very nice example, too nice to get trashed.Sweetest 1.8 I've heard in many a year. garethj and oldcars 2

scruff Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Genuinely sad to see our Panda go today. They are top motors - just too small for us now though. Barry Cade 1

Sealtainn Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I had pretty much that turn up when I sold my 53 plate 1.8 sewing machine edition and got haggled down to £550 with less than 3 months MoT and a paddling pool in the passenger footwell Barry Cade 1

A nice green up here is associated with the gentry, matches their plus fours and goes well with tweed. eddyramrod and andrew e 2
andrew e Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I will be real envious if it has a fold flat passenger seat too.
djimbob Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Are they in the market for a 2001 Zafira, metallic green with a wheeltrim missing? I could lose another 1 if it helps. Ironically they had a brand new one on his motability, which she stuffed up terminally having booted him out - but she did manage to drive him in it to our house in Leeds to dump him on our doorstep after spending a few weeks homeless the useless fecker. he now claims the whole motability and she has a small unmotorway worthy Pug allegedly with which not to transport his children to him in Yorkshire for the holidays, so it's up to me and his Mum to do the mileage. Everyday is Jeremy Kyle day with that fucking family, so no, they can't afford the purchase price of a second hand Zafira of any description after fags, chippy teas, and family tax credit overpayments are taken into account.

Barry Cade Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 I will be real envious if it has a fold flat passenger seat too.I have no idea. I will check!
djimbob Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 What's COPD? As far as I know it's some sort of self induced heart problem from abusing crack cocaine and prescription painkillers! which is some sort of disability golden ticket going by the street party they threw when my stepson got his appeal upheld
HH-R Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, basically not being able to breathe properly. Smoking is a major cause, but it can be from other things like breathing in dust at work, it's common amongst ex pitmen.
aldo135 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Here is our (back garden) trampoline complete with Grand Voyager alloy as step, so a Zafira seems the obvious next car! Where else do you go when your automatic Renault is proving too boringly reliable? eddyramrod and andrew e 2

djimbob Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Ta Daaaaa. WP_20160319_001.jpg that is one feature I'd love in my Sedona, all the rear seats fold flat and can be lifted out on purpose!!
