Rover414 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 He says it is the head gasket when I asked about it so not entirely sure it's worth the risk of driving it all the way back north to Liverpool though it would have been nice to have one for a while that is working.

bub2006 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 No mate. Had the proton from here,fetched the spares proton from Kent other night. Wife took really ill so was trying to get home and the ATF cooler on my proton gave out and took gearbox with it. Had it recovered home and decided to use the spares car I bought instead. Checked it over and found the shell was twisted from the shunt it had. Couldn't change gearbox over quick enough with wife being ill and doctors appointments etc (she isn't allowed to drive at the minute) made the decision to cut my losses and got rid of both of the knackered protons. Picked up the picasso in very tidy overall condition and MOT till Feb for 280 quid clayts450, HarmonicCheeseburger, puddlethumper and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketeer Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'm a proper Picasso perv now after my dalliance with a 1.6 8v earlier in the year.

dollywobbler Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Tomorrow, I begin a lengthy several-day collection caper/roadtrip thing. I depart here at 7am to head to Kent for work purposes, then the excitement happens on Sunday - bye bye Rover, hello new steed. Might go all old-school on the caper right up and put it all together afterwards, like we did in the good old days. No poo count.

If you're coming to 'proper' Kent, welcome to test my Mazda 323, but expect you have enough on with work and exciting collecsions. Even though as per my thread, it is a 'fire risk'...

I believe the 02 plated exclusive is still roaming around here somewhere. Now sporting a 2.0 manual engine and box and different panels. I would not need to buy a van either.

dollywobbler Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 In other news, had to go to a funeral today. Pleasant as these things go, with a lovely vibe to it. Not too forlorn and very celebratory. Naturally, my head was turned by the funeral cars - Australian things is about all I've got. I was amused that the hearse actually had a rear wiper... I didn't take pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'd been thinking of getting my dad a spare wheel for his Auris for Christmas - he's had two punctures in the less than a year he's owned the car, and both have involved getting the AA out as the silly bottle of monkey spunk which came with the car wouldn't fix the holes. Looking on eBay and the amounts people are asking for space saver spares is absurd - like 80 quid for a second hand one. So I quickly gave up on that idea. Then quite by chance earlier today I discovered that the space saver from the HR-V will, with the addition of £2-'orth of eBay spigot ring, fit straight on the Auris. Sorted.
