As title, basically I've f*cked up yet again, and due to lack of funds/current circumstances I can't really fix and MOT it.... It was supposed to be sold to my sister at a bit of profit but turns out she cant insure a 2.0, even with its meagre power output!
Its this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281336230648?_...EBIDX%3AIT
It DOES start and run now. The problem was a burnt pin for the fuel pump in the BSI, I've just cleaned it up and sqeezed the socket closer to make better contact, I would recommend the wire was bypassed though.
Unfortunately a rear shoe locked on the other day, not really sure why but I had to damage the shoe, the hold down cups and the bearing getting it off!
So they need sorting, but will be back together so the car rolls shortly.
Oil has been overfilled by previous owner and has leaked from various areas, not gushing out, just looks a bit untidy lol.
Alternator pulley bearing is noisy, as the other thread in the HDi section.
For MOT it will need at the least - holey cat pipe welding, OSF ABS ring replaced, numberplate bulb, possibly a tyre due to rubber deteriorating. This is what I've found on a quick check, there may be more.
Does need a clean inside and out, has sat for a while so theres a bit of mould, and just general mess...including lots of baccy and filters all over the dash/floor/centre console etc lol. Theres also a small fag burn in the passenger seat.
Good points -
Low mileage
5 door
Cheaper tax band (£70ish for 6 months)
Huge spec inc auto lights and wipers, half leathers, leather wheel, multifunction trip computer etc
Ice cold AC with climate control
Decent bodywork, just a few odd scuffs and scratches as you'd expect
It does drive but obviously with no MOT/tax, dodgy rear brakes and possibly more faults I recommend a trailer! Or I could have the car couriered at cost.
So whats it worth? Anyone interested in buying it?
Cheers
Tom
