Roffle 2001/51 plate BMW 318i - we have a winner!

Phwoar. Lovely, Kenneth. Well done on fixing it up.

[Isaac Hunt]

Champion fix, Did the mobs mech have to swear and curse much or is it just one of those 'simple but time consuming dismantle lots to get at small part' type jobs ?

[SiC]

Going to use it for a bit first?

[purplebargeken]

How does £8.50 per ticket sound?

 

£495 casheroos.

[bramz7]

I'll take one to get the ball rolling.

[purplebargeken]

It was one of those jobs that looks ok once you see someone do it who knows what the fuck they are doing. I think I would tackle it if ever needed again. 

[pandamonium]

Take it MoT certificate still lacking?

[purplebargeken]

Here is the offending pipe, looks like chewed licorice allsort combined with dead sea slug. Yuck is the mildest way of describing it. I think we found the problem!

 

 

The end of the pipe slug allsort is still attached to the old CCV. Ewwwww.

 

 

Blue silicon hoses are for winnahs, especially smoll silicone hoses.

 

 

 

Much nicer photographs. These were taken when I had just dusted the car off and before it was fixed.

 

We know what that is....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The innards.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The interior needs a good vacuuming and a bit more of a valet after that on the carpets, nothing significant at all, just dusty and so on.

 

The passenger front door panel needs a beige speaker cover obtaining and fitting. There is some wear on the centre arm rest but a bloke on fb has one for sale much cheep. There are marks and scuffs on the door cards that might not be visible on the photos.

 

The bodywork is bloody lovely and a good wash and polish will make it gorgeous. 

 

There is a slight crease on the rear O/S wheel arch but it certainly isn't horrible.

 

 

The boot area is nice and clean, the load area cover is in great order and there is a clip on mesh thing in place. 

 

There is a full tool kit and the locking wheel nut is present and correct. 

[purplebargeken]

Yes, it is still without MOT, but driving to a pre-booked MOT is fine and dandy having made such arrangements in the past without nun and kitten death 

[purplebargeken]

Owners manuals and stuff are in a nice wallet. V5C is present.

[purplebargeken]

Bonnet BMW badge is not there but I have one....... somewhere.

[jumpingjehovahs]

Worth every second of the wait for full pictures, it looks an absolute peach! Gorgeous interior too!

 

There’s a very good MOT place in Chelmsford, Universal Tyres, fair and friendly and lots of old shite often parked outside.

 

Will take a random please!

I have a tentative sniff of a cash buyer, just waiting to hear back from that person who shall remain unknown until they wish to be known........

 

If this doesn't come to pass then the roffle will swing in to action

[bub2006]

FFS please keep it. I'm paying off a car and hopefully getting another. Combined with Christmas I'd have come down otherwise! It is a good motor.

[purplebargeken]

It's a cracking car mate but I do need to move it on. 

 

I can't really justify it mate and it needs to be used not just sat there like a lovely blue automotive ornament. 

[Lord Sterling]

Coorrrr, that is nice. I really want to make an offer but I'm so barrassic at the moment I can barely afford a pint of milk let alone another motor. That would be so nice for me though.

[yes oui si]

In for three.

[keith777]

I’ll have 3 randoms please

[keith777]

Where exactly is satans shitty toilet ?

[Kiltox]

Two randoms for Lord Sterling please

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

It’ll be a grand by tomorrow night.

[purplebargeken]

Correction: it'll be grand by tomorrow night

[purplebargeken]

Anyway, what is this mythical 'grand' you speak of?

 

I am unfamiliar with the monetary concept of such an amount. I think I may have to go and lie down as I feel faint and weak at the mere thought of such a concept. 

 

Mo, if I could gift it to you mate I would.

[Lord Sterling]

Two randoms for Lord Sterling please

Wow! Thank you!

[sierraman]

Stick it through a test, be much more saleable at £600 with 12 months test on it.

[loserone]

And a much better roffle prospect

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Old BMW with no MOT.......

 

Mind you, for eight or nine quid...............

[purplebargeken]

Very tidy, idles beautifully now BMW for £495....... worth £600 to £800 with an MOT put on by the new owner.....

[bangernomics]

Did you manage to free the handbrake off again too?

[purplebargeken]

Handbrake seems to work just fine, car drives happily
