Sold for sale nissan almera, spares/repairs. having a clearout £100 ono or cheap £1.50 roffle. sorry now sold.

[blackbart]

hi all, im having a pre christmas clearout. i was going to put it on fleabay as spares, but thought id give it a shot here first. its my old (2004) nissan almera. its the top of the range with a/c built in computer/ sat nav etc. here's the bad bits, there's always bad bits lol.

its only got 2 days mot left. it has a perforated sump, so will need a second hand one off ebay. the engine light has been on for months, but never bothered me. the code says its a crank sensor. it will need a couple of anti roll bar bushes for mot. and the mother in law opened the passenger door on a cyclist and damaged the door lol.

good bits, its never let me down in 6 months, apart from spewing its oil outside my house i mean, lol. its got about 12 stamps in the service book, up to around 2013. and its done about 130,000

ive bought another car now. so it's gotta go.

the highest offer takes it away. asap preferably, as its down my local club, and they want it shifting very soon.

im sure with a days tinkering, it would do someone a turn, i bought it to ge me out the shite, and it did the job, so its a shame to see it scrapped.

i'll try and upload some pics. please someone take pity on it, the highest offer gets it. hoping to get £100 or maybe even a cheap roffle.

just pm me if you need anymore info. all the best guys and girls

[Cavcraft]

I don't want it but price and location will help chief. GSTWTSGLS

[blackbart]

sorry , im in coventry and was hoping to get £100. if it's not worth getting roadworthy again ,then maybe it would do someone for spares. obviously it will need trailering as the oil is leaking out of the sump. and no tax etc.

[Slartibartfast]

That's a nice car for a ton, even with scrap as it is. Surely some sort of chemical weld bodge can be done to the sump to get it driveable to at least shift it to a new home.

Too far from me and I don't have 100 and I already have a hopeless project to deal with but GLWTS

[blackbart]

thanks mate, i did try a can of engine seal, but it didnt work. i'd assume a secondhand sump could be fitted fairly cheaply. i'll see how it goes, if not then i probably will try ebay for spares, but i've had some bad times on ebay with motors. hopefully though, i won't have to scrap it. (touch wood)

[gadgetgricey]

Does it have the reversing camera fitted (like the Primera's).

If so that might be worth the £100 on its own   

[beko1987]

That is lovely tbh. Same I A:Dont have £100, B: have a sump.

 

What's the engine code for the sump ebay search people may want to do?

 

Is the satnav comically out of date?

[blackbart]

sadly not mate lol.but it does have the annoying reversing sensors though, and the sat nav disc has got to be worth £20 i'm guessing.

[blackbart]

hi mate, ive only used the sat nav a few times, and its always got me there, but i assume it would be ten years out of date.. i'd rather someone get a turn out of it, before it goes to the gallows lol. all offers are invited, even shite ones lol.

[Slartibartfast]

Apparently a sump can be had on EuroCarParts for £35 of our fine English pounds

[beko1987]

It really shouldn't go to the gallows, it looks lovely inside, but I can't afford to help in any way sadly.

[beko1987]

I'll have 5 tickets @ £2.50 though...

Although it'll probably turn up and be for a VW Fox or something.

[blackbart]

lol, we've all been down that road.

[blackbart]

yes indeed lol

[blackbart]

or a cheap cheap cheap roffle@ £1.50 a go. even if the winner scraps it you'll be quids in, lol.

thats if i knew how to do a roffle

[Slartibartfast]

To do a Roffle you say "I'm going to Roffle" and name the ticket price. Some helpful chap will come along with the number template and post it and then you wait til all the numbers are spoken for. The following Saturday, the person who has the number that matches the bonus ball on the lottery has it.

[Slartibartfast]

I think time is a factor though, if it's taken in the next couple of days it could be driven away, assuming the sump can be bodged and some more oil shoved in. Otherwise it'll be a trailer or A-frame job.

cheers mate, without risking sounding anymore stupid than i already am lol, how would i get the money?

[Slartibartfast]

Someone - you or a trusted third party - sets up a paypal account and the payments go into there. Obviously once people have paid you want to avoid having to call the roffle off because then you have to refund everyone's money. I'm new here so I don't know the etiquette around that part very well.

[blackbart]

ok thanks mate, it's something to fall back on if i get no offers, and who wouldn't like to win a car for £1.50. even a scrapper lol

Pre-booked MOT?

 

If the place it is parked at bears no qualms about an honest shitter rocking up, having it up on axle stands, changing the sump (I presume there's no oil in it atm), filling back up with oil it doesn't sound too tricky. I;ve done sumps lying on my back in the road before...

[Slartibartfast]

Didn't think of the old pre-booked MOT ploy. You can tell I'm a rookie

How likely is it that the engine will have sustained fatal damage from lack of oil?

i only drove it a few days when the leak happened. but i went through 5 litres of oil with keeping it topped up. which is why i gave up and parked it up.the neighbours wern't too happy with the mess it made outside my house lol. so fingers crossed, the engine should be ok. but obviously i can't guarantee it. i also forgot to say that i could leave the tax on to get someone home.

[Christine]

Nice . I'd have 5 tickets ,any random numbers 

[Cavcraft]

Is it still taxed lol to get you home lol?

[gadgetgricey]

How bad is the sump. Massive hole. or a slight weep.

Just wondering if it would drive 30 miles with the oil being topped up every five or so?

[Christine]

Only 30 miles ?  put slick 50 in it , it'll run just fine with no oil at all  then

[blackbart]

it does leak a bit, i can't see a massive hole,it's more perforated i'm guessing. but it would definately get you 30 miles with topping up. i probably done 200 miles just keeping it topped up, but the outside of the house wasn't looking too pretty. lol.

and yes i forgot to cash the tax back, so it would be taxed to get you home? i just forgot to put it in the original post. just as i forgot to cancel the tax lol.

[UltraWomble]

sadly not mate lol.but it does have the annoying reversing sensors though, and the sat nav disc has got to be worth £20 i'm guessing.

Depends on the year of disc - exact same year and model as my Almera that is, almost tempted for spares for my own.
