'I took it a local garage and asked them to do a major service, replace the cam belt and water pump and then to give it a full health check. They did this and the invoice was £1360!'

 

 

I'm sorry, but ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

'the engine was replaced at 45000 miles by LANDCOVER themselves for reasons I'm not sure about'

 

1) Who are Landcove?r and 2) Because they're shit?

 

Is that a large tape-measure?

I'll never forget walking up Stourbridge Lower High Street and being winked at by a gold Lotus.

I think if you want a cheap to run four seat cabriolet, those Cavaliers aren't a bad choice.

Finding one in acceptable condition is a challenge nowadays.

What's the alternative?

A Le Baron maybe. Or you'd need a lot deeper pockets.

 

The Megane cabrio can usually be had for cheap. The mk1 looks pretty good, and isn't plagued with all the reliability issues and difficult to service parts like the newer ones. That said mine's been off the road for over a year because I can't figure out how to get the airbag light to go out.

That's just the sort of louche behaviour I'd expect from a gold Lotus.

 

Meanwhile, talking of lechery, cop a load of this:

chocolate velour interior. 

 
12 Months MOT (no advisories)
 
Dinitrol rust treatment 

 

No!  Nurse!  Make it stop!

That's a shit excuse because a) no srs/airbag bulb isn't a MoT RfR. B) If it has a separate SRS ECU, the box may have gone tits up. Happened with my Honda. Couldn't get any diagnostics out of it, so swapped the SRS control module and it was working normally. Going to see if the old one can be fixed.

 

So what's the real excuse again? Is it COS IT IS RENNO?

Wait wait hold the bus ... I thought it was? The other things I had to fix were a headlight with broken adjuster (lamp was very obviously off), replacement of some bulbs, tyre needed replacing, and some other niggly bits I've forgotten. If SRS light isn't a fail then I'll book it in.

Could be worth getting one of these and barning it as a curiosity, you will be able to trailer it to events and wow the crowds by ACTUALLY STARTING AND RUNNING THE ENGINE in a few years time.

 

 

Fuel injection fault warning light (tempermental)

 

Oh aye!!!!! The clutch is bo11oxed as well.

That Porsche has got to be good value given the mental prices.. Stick an impreza sexual transmitted infection engine in it and watch your chances of it every being worth anything rocket off into outer space.

I like that, but the partial tide mark in front of the back wheel is playing havoc with my OCD/line of vision.

I may just have had a bid on that... love the wheels! Got outbid straight away but I shall have another go later. Anyone willing to do a delivery service to bloody Devon from Crewe?
