[castros_bro]

It is a Rover 218D is a dark metallic green but my PC on Ubuntu will no let me put up photos, n/a 1.9D engine used as daily but with towbar for weekends of wild fornications.  Wobbly OSF disc but new discs/pads supplied. Slightly saggy headlining, some winter tyres on steels included, No FTP in present ownership, USB equipped radiogram, chairs for 5 people. Frilly rusty bits where side trim flows onto rear arches. Will stick up photos tomorrow from works PC.

Fucking thing just FTPed so I'm not sure what's gonna happen with it now!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Oh no! What happened?

[Kiltox]

Battery is toast, that's all

Parked up at a petrol station and it wouldn't start again, 2 hours later (note to self, carry jump pack/tools at all times) the recovery bloke jumped it and it ran fine, just need to put a battery on it today

[dollywobbler]

Did the AA man put a voltmeter on it? I'd be tempted to check it isn't over-charging. Only because that's what killed the battery on my 2CV.

[Station]

Possible swap for Nippa of much Nipperage?

[Kiltox]

It looks like I'm striking a deal for something that ticks most of my WBoD boxes so unfortunately I can't swap it for the Rover or Nippa at this time
