The Moog Posted October 1, 2016 Author Posted October 1, 2016 Today I collected my 9th car of the year. This is destined to be our second knockhill honey. Baby driver was an absolute gent, braved the dragons and collected me from Accrington. Pez station shot (after BD dropping off the petrol cap key) It has been resting in babydrivers garden for a little while so has the usual outer coating of various mosses. Issues are its needs an engine mount (the gear lever bangs about like Ben Dover) and probably a couple of front tyres. Abs kicks in at low speed then the light comes on and abs goes away. Needs a good Hoover, but undecided whether to wash the outside before knockhill . Mr Lobster 1
The Moog Posted October 2, 2016 Author Posted October 2, 2016 Removed the seat from the space runner. Fuck it is heavy, but becomes mega roomyIt will fit a door in diagonally. EDIT - The car felt a bit lively earlier and I was concerned about the new tyres. Had a hunt online and it says that the beast is RWD! I didnt know that. Would explain the back being a little twitchy on hard cornering.
The Moog Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 Been track prepping the Megane (I.e. making sure it won't explode on first corner.) The only mega issue is that the gear lever moves about 2cm when power is applied. Diagnosis was a knackered engine mount. I couldn't quite work out which one so ordered all three for £45. Annoyingly I need a deep 16mm socket to undo the mount on gearbox and drivers side. All my sets have 15 & 17 but not the required size. Size does matter kids! Managed to get the gearbox one off through combination of slow spanner action and impact wrench. Old and new All back together. Verdict is that it has made a bit of difference. I think the drivers side is toast. Socket ordered. UltraWomble, Jazoli and Craig the Princess 3

The Moog Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 Free car! I bought this Megane from Babydriver for use at knockhill. I have fixed the knackered engine mounts. Reality is that it will be surplus to my needs at about 5pm on Sunday 13th November. I would ideally like to drive back to Accrington in the starlet as it will need MOT in December. So if anyone wants it for free from Kinross (or local ish ) then they can have it. Good bitzMOT till December MOT history is really goodSquishy comfy seatsBeen getting 40 ish mpg out of itAll electrics workRemote alarm and central locking Alloys with locking wheel nuts(key included)Best price in the worlds Bad bitsAbs light is on Front exhaust is blowingCD player doesn't workNeeds a good clean as BD used it for hauling wood Rear boot needs to be opened with a penSpare is on car as NSF wheel had a screw in it eddyramrod and blakey79 2
Slartibartfast Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 In the highly unlikely even that nobody wants it and it goes to the bridge, can I please swap steering wheels. That's the nicest one I've seen. The wheels in both of my megane's are nasty and hard
The Moog Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 Cough;)Might want to see a Dr about that! Yours if you want it. I had a look and abs sensors are about £13 so probably cheap fix. Babydriver recently did oil and filter change. 320touring 1

The Moog Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 Provisionally taken. Out of interest I checked car takeback and they were offering the princely sum of £20 collect or £25 delivered.
purplebargeken Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 How much? Christ that is woeful. More woeful than normal actually.
UltraWomble Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Free car!Just turn up at this house.... Between 6 and 8 pm on the 13th.... And honestly there wont be anybody hiding in the bushes pissing themselves. Oh sorry, wrong thread! Now if you have been back in Accy with this I'd have nipped over with the lad and some beer on the train and left the beer. But Kinross? Sounds a bit Scottish to me..... Six-cylinder and The Moog 2
Six-cylinder Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Pick up in Kinross is one way of stopping me grabbing all the free cars!

twosmoke300 Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Trusted seller see ! The Moog and 320touring 2
The Moog Posted November 18, 2016 Author Posted November 18, 2016 Trusted seller see !A+++++ highly recommended. Not really surprised as it drives so well. Would never think it has got 145k on it. Need to do something about seats as they are not very supportive when enthusiastically cornering. Apparently gen 7 Celica seats do bolt in.
