sutty2006 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Well. The time has come. I have put a deposit on something equally as shite and miserable (collecshun Fred next week), so the tortoise must go. I’ll be deeply upset yet mildly relieved.M reg 1.7 straight diesel manual Envoy, that means less to go wrong. Honest. 145k, with little history. Runs and drives mint (slow) one of the nicest driving cavaliers ever....if you can believe that. MOT till 20.9.18. Excellent MPGs. (200 miles to 20litres ish)New clutchNew radiator and coolantNew oil and filterNew fuel filterNew ARB links frontNew front winter tyresNew number plates SOLD egg, Talbot, johngarty and 21 others 24

MorrisItalSLX Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Fwar. Thats so un-lush that its more lush than physically possible. FTFY sutty2006, Talbot and Jim Bell 3
loserone Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Fwar. Thats lush. Came here to say this FTFYAnd mean this. I bet this is amazing in the fullest 1994 autoshite n/a diesel way possible Jim Bell and GrumpiusMaximus 2

Lacquer Peel Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Gr9 4 veg...?That looks like a Lucas pump lurking. GRIM.
sutty2006 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Posted February 24, 2018 Haven’t tried it on veg, runs efficiently enough as it is haha. Forgot to mention it had a new spring and full tracking done around September/October last year too.
Talbot Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 The most Veg you can run in one of these is about a 50/50 mix, and even then only in warm summer months when "cold" starts are at 15°c. And you have to have near perfect compression. And all working glowplugs. And injectors with good spray patterns. ... so never then. GLWTS. If I needed a very comfy way to die of boredom, I'd be all over this.
ProgRocker Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 1994 M reg base spec with n/a diesel - sounds just like my old ex-Police Escort saloon. It had about 154k on it when traded in for my current car. GLWTS
GrumpiusMaximus Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Phwoar. That must be unbelievably slow. But worth every second. sutty2006 1
bramz7 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 If I hadn't just left £50 on a 1.9 diesel Rover I would have gone for this. Awesome. I love basic diesels. If it goes to raffle I may be interested.
purplebargeken Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Roffle this. To not do so is a crime against roffling and a lifetime of woeful misery via Hyundai will be inflicted.
sutty2006 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 I could do with a quick sale really so I can make room for the ever impending misery that I will collect end of next week. May roffle if enough interest but currently open to close offers! Bargain motoring for someone
fordperv Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 a roffle possibly would be the quickest way to part with this glacially slow automobile to be fair
Cavcraft Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 That looks like a Lucas pump lurking.GRIM. Have to confess I thought these were all Bosch equipped, but to be fair there can't be many on here who know as much about fuel pumps as yourself.
BeEP Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 If I hadn't just left £50 on a 1.9 diesel Rover I would have gone for this. This one? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201802223968922 If so I could be interested in baling you out of the Rover if you want to go for the Cavalier.

sutty2006 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 Ok, tenner a ticket...50 tickets? Not done this before so let’s see what interest we get.
sutty2006 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 There ya go. When’s the lottery draw?
Kiltox Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Wednesday or Saturday. Allocate the tickets, collect the money once all allocated and draw at the one after you’ve had the money in. Bonus ball is the winner.
sutty2006 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 Cheers fella. Wednesday draw then. If not all numbers allocated by then will send it to Saturday. Get sorting your numbers out lads!
