Sound cheap to me @ £155

 

Needs a new torsion bar as it's broke, don't know hard they are to fix but it's still taxed and MOTed until next March, It's the 1.9TD GLX model but does have nearly 200k but that's nothing for one of these.

torsion bars are one of those things thats easier and cheaper to fix by yourself at home, but only if you have a spring compressor.Im sure theres plenty of these at scrappies to salvage a decent one off of. Im probably really wrong, but hey ho, thats why im at college and here, to learn

[Milford Cubicle]

I think the whole rear suspension unit is relatively easy to replace, it's just finding a decent one that's a problem.

[brammy777]

i just remembered you dont need a spring compressor, they are an intergral unit, you dont need to remove the springs.405 estates have clearly lasted in greater numbers than the other varients though.Doesnt anything by citroen share the same torsion bar?

[Milford Cubicle]

It'd be rather hard to compress a torsion bar

 

[brammy777]

Sorry got confused with twist beam rear suspension there.

[FredTransit]

 

This sounds cheap for £1500 with T+T, qute fancing a camper at the moment, Got a moden 2.5Di fitted as well.

Jesus that's a bitser! Mk2 doors, Mk5 mirrors and Mk2 rear lights and wheels!!! Mk2 doors, why do people do that? Hmmm, 1976, not a good year for rot! Still it's a fair price for something you will have to tax, and it's got a DI.

[Milford Cubicle]

I think a twist beam rear axle is based on the same principle

Anyway, back to the tat!

Someone on RR picked up a similar but un-messed 80 for £210, I can't see this being worth 10 times as much.

Independent five-area blow-up front seats, with their own compressors.

It sold me on that quote alone. What a beauty.

Have we had this straight looking Renault 20 yet? Must be a while since one of these appeared on eBay?

^ Yes please!, Nice colour as well

 

That looks like my next car! Well it would be if it wasn't a bag of sand! What happened to these cars being 3 or 400 quid!? Those Renault 18s recently went for a sensible price, this is being very optimistic surely? I know R20s were more expensive than the smaller Renaults when new but surely that doesn't apply in later years, in fact often bigger cars are cheaper because they become less desirable!

Back on. Will be interested to see what the market naturally dictates it to!

By George, I think I've cracked linking to the new eBay pictures!

 

To celebrate, let's look at this Sunny estate:

Shame not to be buying it from the long-time owner, but it does sound like a very good example. Had I not got the Bluebird I'd be going for this.

How? I still can't do it.

[Milford Cubicle]

Those Sunny estates are odd, didn't you get a choice of 2 different styles when that one was new? The 'sporty' fastback and a van-based alternative.

Enlarge image > Right click on image > View page info > Click on media > Copy and paste the http business where it says Location. That’s on Firefox, but last week I couldn’t do it.

 

MC, thinking about it there were actually three versions of what were badged Sunny running at that time. The hatchback/saloon N13 models (actually a Pulsar), the B12 fastback estate/coupe, and the B11 DX estate/van (with the very upright back end and round headlights).

Enlarge the image, click on 'view page source' and look for the picture URL, it begins http:// and ends jpg, and is on the second or third line. Copy, paste and post as you would normally.

Aha! Thankyou SL

Will this be the 'scene tax' of which you speak?

Looks ok in the pics, somethin' ain't right here...

[brammy777]

that will most clearly be bangered.

[Twiggy]

But how do I get the photo up ? I`ve managed it before.....

[outlaw118]

It doesn't look too bad...I've taxed worse.....Didn't the seller have a clearance type sale not so long ago?

[trigger]

 

It doesn't look that bad to me neither.

[outlaw118]

Shame its a slush-box though, I had a manual for a while, exactly the same as that on a Y plate, Oyster Gold. Lovely. (GR84driftin')

Smarty pants ! How did you do it ?

Smarty pants ! How did you do it ?

I'm using Internet Explorer 8 but what i do is click on the image in the left hand corner which opens up a new page with a bigger image of the item for sale, Then right click on that image, Open Properties then copy and paste the code that is there.In for the case of above is http://i.ebayimg.com/07/!BYnQ(Qg!Wk~$(K ... cQ~~_3.JPGbut i add theat%20the%20start%20and at the end.

[Twiggy]

Thanks Trigger ! That`s what I did, and just ended up with the URL for the image, that`s all. I`ll have another go, see if I can do it.

[trigger]

It's need to end with the JPG. at the end, Are you copying the whole code?, Keep you finger in the left mouse button and stroll down with it.
