JJ0063 Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 We’re going on holiday Easter Monday down to Dorset for the week and I’ve always been slightly conscious with this car having no spare wheel and running non runflats. Thought I’d have a look if there was any BMW’s being broken on FB I could rob a spare from and stumbled across this BMW fitment ‘Road Hero’ spacesaver kit which comes with a handy bag and also a kit bag with everything from a jack, wheel brace, 5 wheel bolts, head torch, hi viz, kneel pad, even a rain poncho! Nowhere to store it in the car due to the dog guard being in the boot but handy enough to throw in the back if we go on a long journey for the sake of £70!

JJ0063 Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Also with these brighter evenings I even got the chance to give it a quick wash, looked nice with the sun getting low this time of the evening.

Matty Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I'm rapidly coming to the depressive conclusion that I'm going to have to join Facebook. Marketplace seems to be far better than ebay for parts 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ0063 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Smashed my eBay special splitter as it’s made of the shittest plastic known to man. Bit the bullet and ordered a genuine BMW one from eBay, they are over £500 new but managed to get one from a breaker for £80 and it’s made of way better material which has flex in so should tolerate the abuse!

JJ0063 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 And on I like the fact it’s second hand as the odd marks on it keep it fitting with the rest of the car. The old one I had was gloss black and brand new so stuck out like a sore thumb. Matty, RoverFolkUs, GrumpiusMaximus and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ0063 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 After the debacle of the Corsa B, it got me itching for another piece of shite to try and tart up and roffle/flog. Browsing marketplace I stumbled upon this 2010 Seat Ibiza 1.6 Sport DSG It’s a little chain driven NA petrol, 134k, MOT until 19/03/25, ULEZ friendly and auto.. should have some appeal. It’s got a scrape on the passenger side, I might try and tidy it up a bit - perhaps touch in the white bits with a touch up pen and sand/polish it back. Unrecorded, they just caught a fence in their residents car park. Other than that it drives really nicely, got a front end knock over bumps which I’ll have a wiggle with the pry bar and try to fix, air con isn’t very cold. Overall nice car, needs a really good clean, wet vac on the seats etc but should come up nice. Not sure what it’s actually worth being a bit battered but I thought for £550, it had to be worth a punt.

I'd put good money on failed drop links on these. I don't want to talk about how many I've changed on the Skoda. JJ0063 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
