What does 'laying some serious pipe' into someone mean? I can imagine it in a '90's lad mag' context e.g. "I'd lay some serious pipe into that Philippa Forester/Gail Porter etc" but I suspect that's not the case here.

I thought it was synonymous with dropping the kids off at the pool, or stocking the lake with brown trout?

£195 no reserve so far, looks GR9....but has those immortal words in the listing:

Quote

It only has a few weeks of MOT left but I can’t see why it wouldn’t pass its next MOT

Hmmm.... not only but also:

Quote
he logbook states “this vehicle has been salvaged because the estimated cost of commercial repair was more than the value of the vehicle”.
 This was with a previous owner but I don’t  know what work it was referring to

So it's a catagory N or S or summert... not that it matters at this price point I suppose....MoT history looks good.

Probably......

Where would you start though?

Yo Mr @wuvvum if I was a massive sadist I'd point out that this is in your neck of the woods and looks cheap*. But I'm not, so I won't.

£1000 start, no reserve, some stuff about keys and codes. Probably easy/cheap* fix. Or not. Norwich. #elephanttestes #fuckthat #moretroublethanitsworth. But you know what bothers me most? Black centre caps. Yes I'm weird.

Because of cheap, (republican),  Diesel?  And because Renault never imported the Diesel 25 to UKlands.

I don't think I've seen a single W220 without cloudy headlights. How bad WAS plastics technology in 2001?

Why? Nice to drive sure but I imagine pants on fuel and bad spares provision. Were they grey imports? Awesome photo btw.

I used to do all the car movements for Autocrafts with my 3 car transporter and this was a second vehicle for accident recovery,fuel  cost was built into the job and mechanical spares were ok-ish,it was sold before it became a problem.
