Supernaut Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 That would be grand. I've not seen either of the Harrises for a few years now. Would be good to meet at least one of them without me having to travel, for once! The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t fault the car, taking the trip well. From Bahnn Storming the motorways to the narrow, twisty country roads. The random village is Wickwar I used to commute through there If it comes back up for roffle again 1 Random please. Always wanted an isuzu engine and have had a mk4 1600 pez. Nice car.

17-Coffees Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Long time no post, So since it's been a while the Roffle is NOT on anymore as i'm sure everyone will have forgotten about it. Anyways, I'm needing rid of it so I'll offer it here before I try Facebook & Gumtree to try flog it, and then finally before it gets cubed. So what to say? No MOT, On 200k miles, It starts but will need a new battery, the brakes are very rusted and it's not been washed for a while and the arches are crispy but solid. A service would do it some good too. Oh and the big problem...I'm theres a rather loud rumble at times and when turning there a big crack/rumble sound...I'm guessing front suspension. (Bearing tops or something). If I could be arsed I'd have seen about having a proper look myself and sorting it, but even if its a cheap-ish fix of £100 thats £100 i'd rather keep of now as i'm still out a job. So it would need to be trailered away. I had it started up today, thanks to the Lexus via jumpstart ran fine and took it up and down the street (perks of a Cul-de-sac), was fine until I turned it off and then it wouldn't start up unless I jumped it again. @Supernaut can confirm this, and also how good* it is overall. I NO WOT I GOT... So I'm after £100, and i'll even clean it for a bottle of cheap Chianti! (Kind I know.) Ideally wanting it gone by the week of the 12th October. 🥳 Six-cylinder, timolloyd, Supernaut and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17-Coffees Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Yeah, I'm expecting distance to be an issue since Aberdeen area is the ass end of nowhere for 97% of users on here...🤣 But though i'd offer before I attempt to try gumtree and Facebook, can't wait to get offered a broken Xbox 360 and a knockoff-knockoff wish..com watch...

Cavcraft Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 In fairness that probably wants to be at least 50, maybe 75-100% more on Gumtree or Facebook. Those engines are still quite sought after I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort1977 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I am driving Aberdeen to stranraer with a trailer next month, could move this if that helps with logistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 It's a fod van companion! @Six-cylinder should buy it, then in true autoshite fashion try and get it from Scotland to the fod for the same amount as le van cost to get from not_far from the fod... Then we make it do 50 miles around a field sometimes sideways as a celebration* Then flog both to @Cavcraft for £££ 17-Coffees, Six-cylinder, Cavcraft and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those engines are still quite sought after I'm told. The plan is to be cheeky and try it for £250 - 300 on the general market and see what I get offered but expect £200. I've seen stuff in worse condition sell for much more... Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17-Coffees Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 And that's her gone. She was a good workhorse and did a great job taking me & the parents down to Bovington Take Museum last September as well as a good work hack.

17-Coffees Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Sadly not. I got annoyed with fuckwits offering £100 or less and then no doubt trying to haggle down once they viewed. A FB stalking showed nearly everyone who asked about it liked/followed several local breakers/scrap metal places too. but all needed it for ‘there own car‘ of course . One tried claimed they only wanted it for ‘a few bits’ and how ‘they only make £60 scrapping it after they got there bits’... In the end I took £100 from a scrappy down Edinburgh way, and free pickup. A price I was willing to let it go here for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
