[ruffgeezer]

Hah! Pete recently gave £160 for his Almera Tino and it was that shit he ended up baling it. 

We reckon the cam chain had jumped on the miserable turd.

The one time I used Removemycar to try and scrap a motor I waited in all day and the scrappy never turned up.  Wouldn't answer his phone either.

Agree. Very hit and miss. I've waited in and been let down too, and had a wagon turn up with no winch expecting it to drive on, even though I described it as non running online and over the phone. 

'cant take it mate sorry'.

A day wasted has value too. I can see how some folk hand cars over gratis if there's someone actually stood at your door offering to take it away for free to be honest.

I bought one of these from here a while ago, it was a great car although the timing chain had stretched and knocked the cam timing out meaning it wouldn’t start 50% of the time.

I can tell you!!!

 

The coils of steel were coated in a organic film that  protected the steel and reduced the rust threat.To reduce cost the organic film was removed from the steel.

We were then issued with spray bottles of organic film the we were told the spray on the finished panels..

Like yeah..
