Amelia Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 11 hours ago, loserone said: I drove a coupe one of those a good few years ago and I wasn't massively impressed, it felt bit dog-eared, rough and crap. However the 5 door 1.4 one I drove a few years later was actually really nice. I guess it's the difference between a looked after car and one that's been treated badly. loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 This one is nice, I was amazed at how the centre console and radio are directed to the passenger. The back suspension is knackered though, it's like driving on the bumpstops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 The Duster isn't really heavy enough to A frame the 405 comfortably. I should buy a Rexton. No, the 405 is bottom of my list sadly so it's being axle raped by @Jimbob McGregor and a few parts are going off on facebook. No sunroof for @Scruffy Bodger. Also I had forgotten that at my height and with my gut my legs go numb after half an hour of driving. A shame as it's still rust free and the interior is OK, but the wiring has been hacked to pieces and it needs an engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yes it's definitely better to have a bit of weight upfront with the A frame Ah that's shame I would have had that of you as two engines here that would sit in it nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get my 205 back on the road before summer. Swapping a working lump in will probably be easier, quicker and cheaper than fucking around with whats in it.

loserone Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Randomly trawling through Facebook and spott ed a bargain, so quickly messaged and pointed out how local I was - we're not far from Royston Vasey here. A few hours later I was collecting it. Didn't drive it home as it was at the top of a hill near the ski slopes and it has no brakes currently. Came with a tipper trailer and water bowser which are already being useful. It seems to have a totally different brake setup, and some hub gears which are dismantled and it's set up for direct drive. Needs some work! Sunny Jim, 320touring, Coprolalia and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
