Did a Collection!

[Royale80]

No big trip or poo count as car was 10 mins walk away.

 

Collected the BMW I mentioned last week.  Took it for a test drive on Tuesday-very nice drive. Heater fans fixed themselves (bloke put new hedgehog in-made no difference-fans came on halfway through test drive)-I think it was a dodgy relay-anyway bits are cheap for these.

It was put through an MOT on Thursday and passed with three advisories-rear tyres-which I already knew (seller told me about these) and a slight oil leak from the sump.

Paid a grand-not bad in these times-94000 miles, a couple of owners, stamped service booklet up to last year (for what its worth) and a body that is severely lacking in rust (apart from a small pleb on the rear arch).

Plus point again is steel wheels (wifes car)-spare is MIA but one from my spare Senator wheels fits.

 

So happy so far- will tax on Weds , change engine oil,gearbox oil and spark plugs.

Focus being picked up next week by car take back-£241-had it 9 years-paid £2000 so not bad apart shitting the PAS pipes 3 times.

Very nice. What engine/box is it?

[Royale80]

318i-its the older 1.9 8valve which is supposed to be a longer lived engine (apparently) and auto box.

Lot of car for a grand, specially these days

Good news -spare not MIA-found it under here-thought it would be in this carrier.
