Eyersey1234 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 That's one Chodtastic 75 you have there, my mums cousin and her husband had a couple when they were current, an 02 reg saloon and an 05 reg estate which they took delivery of the day MGR went pop.

Kiltox Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Got this booked in for a test on Friday to see what else is fucked. Should probably look at the airbag light.... Split_Pin and yes oui si 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you fix it? Asking for a friend who owned two 75s in the past with this feature, may need to know for future. Sorry, HE may need to know.... dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 If you get a multi-page failure sheet could you do a comic and not at all cliche shot of you seemingly holding one sheet of paper, only to let go and drop the other pages down behind it?

gadgetgricey Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 jeepers, you could have fixed the wiper when you did the airbag. Good news though Have you had a price for the welding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news though Have you had a price for the welding? Local mobile guy quoted £300 which I think is a bit OTT. Haven’t had any other quotes yet but a guy on PH who has a workshop in Bristol has offered to lend a hand. I didn’t think the wipers were that bad - my OH was moaning about them from the passenger seat though ? I used to keep a stock of wiper blades too, haven’t for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2100k Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Do you need 5 seats? If not then just take the back seats and belts out. Result = pass without spending £300. Obviously you would not be able to just reinstate the seats and would have to make the two seat nature of the car clear to the next buyer.

Kiltox Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 No thanks ? Is that even how that works, I know it’s a way around having dodgy seat belts etc but surely the prescribed area doesn’t change just because there isn’t currently a belt attached to the anchorage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
