Wingz123 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I am having to reluctantly part with my 7 seater automatic Mitsubishi Spacewagon....why? Well its a ‘space’ issue! My head has won over my heart and despite looking for one of these Spacewagons for so long I am letting her go as I just cannot justify keeping her what with my Audi and Avensis which too are capable of doing the same job. Anyway, the car... Just clicked over 120k and if you look up online you will see the MOT expires in September. I will put her through another MOT as know she will pass. I bought her needing a few jobs which most have been done (did them myself ) - fitted a new strut, new pads and discs on the front, full service, gearbox flush and fluid change etc etc. She still needs a couple of jobs doing namely the rear passenger glass that shattered randomly for the last owner as he was travelling down a dual carriageway (there is a guy in Twickenham breaking one of these Spacewagons) and also when you go to start her on occassion you have to wiggle the key for it to completely engage (easy to do) and never not started on me. New starter motor has been fitted in the last 700 miles. I am useless when it comes to having to use a voltmeter - I am adamant it is a corroded wire that goes to the starter. She drives perfectly and I would be keeping her if it weren’t for the Avensis and A6.... Bumpers are faded in places and have gone white. Any questions please ask....cheap and cheerful 7 seater £495 firm wrenchvolt, Christine and DVee8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingz123 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 4g63 engine I believe this to be. No oil leaks. No sweaty sweat between the rocker gasket either which is a bonus! Guy who had it before used it to drive 2 miles a day to work where he drove a van all day....then 2 miles back home again...which ultimately led to why he decided to sell....overkill for what he needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingz123 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 heard horror stories of ludicrous MPG for these (low teens) is it true????I wouldn’t say that bad no. I’ve been all over the place in it - round town and on longer journeys too - took if up to Birmingham the other week and I dont think it was bad on juice at all. I did notice that they dont have huge fuel tanks as I think from empty it cost me £51/£52 to fill up to the brim. Drove home from Birmingham to mine (105 miles from where I was) and the needle was sat between full and 3/4’s. bezzabsa and wrenchvolt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volksy Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I had the version after this, and it was a great piece of kit. Economy wasn't bad (2.0) and drove well. Insurance was cheap too. GLWTS! Wingz123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiperCub Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 If the Rover had've failed it's MoT big-time the other day I'd have been interested. About ten years ago we had a batch of these at work as crew-buses and they were very good little things, reliable and strong carry-alls. I nearly bought one when they were selling them off!

Lord Sterling Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Wow! A former friend of mine's Dad had one of these. I'd not long got my driving licence and former mate knew how to drive, just, but didnt have a licence and we 'nicked' it one evening in about 2005 for a quick spin around Moseley in Birmingham. It was exactly the same as this, same colour, spec and an auto too. Wingz123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 These are brilliant family cars, my dad had one when I was a teenager. I remember being perfectly happy in the back of it, loads of space and loads of glass. Not for me at the moment but that is an absolute bargain, good luck with the sale!

purplebargeken Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Just saying like. I loved my smaller version one. If anyone wants to purchase this, then do a swap for a mk1 Galaxy 2.0 pez manual............. It's a tidy thing with all the bits to make the inside a happy place once again. Question: can those seats come out leaving a flat base? Nnnnnnnnggggggg. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: can those seats come out leaving a flat base? Nnnnnnnnggggggg.Sorry not been on here for a few days - a fever I can’t seem to shake off. The seats can be easily removed by removing a bolt to undo but the seats do fold flat. Space-wise is cavenous - I have had two push along lawnmowers in the back (obviously with petrol mowers you can’t lay them on their side) so they had to be stood up correctly which they were! purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
