A grand?!!!! Does it drive like a Golf? 😆

On the diesel Golf. Who buys a diesel Golf and runs it for 10yrs doing circa 400miles per month....unless hes in the armed forces or had his collar felt by Bregante for a serious crime 8)

To get it through its MOT then the advisories would end up killing it at somepoint.

Pity. The engine was brilliant.

About £100 would fix that! Brake pipes need a rub down and then undersealed.

If Carlsberg did back street chopshops.....they'd be managed by Lee 😆

A 1998 2 litre petrol CRV of any interest to you?

Possibly yes- could you email me more info? markhoracekuk@yahoo.com

Renault Scenic ?

With NOS fitted?

Just reading through this thread, and actually Hora I have to congratulate you. You've managed to demonstrate - even for you - a level of bell-endery previously unimaginable. But you've somehow managed to slip it under the radar

Stealth bell-endery? Seriously... I'm impressed

Don't think it went under the radar, people's expectations are really that low. 😀

Hora YGM.

Shall we all enliven proceedings by suggesting cars for Hora. I reckon an off-road Trabant would be perfect

I can see you in one of those Hora

Even betterer!!! 😀

It'll be super-flexy but I really like that Trabant (the WHITE one)

I can just picture you, bellowing 2 stroke oil all over Deansgate, Your huge bulbous planet-head poking out above the windscreen, Barry White on the eight track. HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAYEEEEEEEEEEEZ 😀

My wife sold this last year or I'd be putting it forward;

I can definitely see you in this:

see, the title couldn't be just 'anyone know of a cheap car for sale'...Oh no, it had to be some sort of contrived title showing how much knowledge you have on a topic.

You're a marketeers dream, apart from the bit where you have to spend money.

I've got a van for sale for £1500. 1 owner, 1.7 diseasel astra van on an '06 plate. 125k miles, new tyres all round, painted in Pest control white. I'm not selling it to you though, because you're a fool.....

He wouldn't have bought it anyway Flange. Because you didn't specify what make of tyres. The first thing any shrewd, thinking buyer looks at when purchasing a vehicle. You can ascertain their true providence by kicking them

I'd far, far rather see a car with regular services at a good, well-reviewed independent garage. That way you're getting a proud owner-mechanic with perhaps 20+ years of experience and a reputation to preserve, rather than a YTS trainee at twice the price.

I've been lied to on too many occasions by main dealers. The final straw was a Vauxhall garage telling me that my brake pads were "marginal" when they were almost brand new. Always makes me wonder what other corners get cut to make their numbers.

You can ascertain their true providence by kicking them

Let me get this right - I get to kick Hora?

Mark - its yours. £50, collection only. And I'll fit R888's all round....

I often over-look any major mechanical problems on a vehicle if its got decent tyres on it. Some vehicles I've bought don't even have an engine but man alive do those tyres look good sat on the driveway. Premium....

Don't forget to log on and check every advisory logged at the MOT on the new online system to check it's been resolved.

You'd have been far better fixing the Puma for a small outlay. The advisories for slight corrosion/deterioration would have been fine for the next year or two at least I'd bet with a bit of waxoyl.

wwaswas remember what they did with the interior of the car in Pulp Fiction? Lots of towels, duvets and blankets to cover it up 8)

Vauxhall dealer? I wouldn't buy a Vauxhall! I spoke to someone selling a Honda car yesterday and he mentioned it had 'Arnold Clark' stamps. Thats one I definitely wouldn't touch. Any of their franchises.

Rather than offhandedly dismissing everything for utterly random, totally illogical, completely fathomless reasons, why not make a list of what you do want. Here, I'll help you out

1. The moon
2. Preferably on a stick. Actually... [b]must[/b] be on a stick. A diamond encrusted, platinum stick
3. Must be free. oh.... and include at least a 12 month warranty

For god's sake Hora, just go and buy a nice Panda from a dealer.
Cort's in Bury have got loads of the bloody things in.
Low miles, full history, choice of colours etc.
You'd get one for £3500, probably with a years w'tee, tank of fuel and a few other bits and bobs thrown in.
The one I looked at recently for the eldest daughter had four new Pirellis and seemed bloody well looked after too.

You'd be daft not to.

Back to home serviced cars. Out of interest do you think the chap uses Continental replacement tyres or Event/Linglong? I guess the later. Car tyres are very important to me.

I'd argue people who home service are more likely to fit better tyres. They're more likely to be enthusiasts who know a bit about cars rather just going to the shop and saying put the cheapest you've got on.

Double post.

" And I'll fit R888's all round..."

Thats how i roll. 8)

I refer you back to one of my earliest posts where I made the distinction/exception to this rule with interesting/classic cars.

I don't fit that rule then...

I fitted winter tyres to my boring home serviced Ford Fusion (which I also replaced the clutch master cylinder for bobbins, whereas a garage would have probably charged me £100-200.

I've been waiting two months for my tyre of choice to become available in this country for my boring Iveco campervan, not because the existing front tyres are worn out, but because they are rubbish cheapies that I don't trust. (this is the van where in the last year I've replaced the radiator, alternator, front pads/discs/brake fluid, done a service and diagnosed a several other small faults, that has probably cost me £500 in parts, but would have probably seen little change out of £1500 in garage charges, probably £2k at Iveco.

Oh, and I replaced the tyres on my home serviced horse trailer with decent jobbies as well, that stung a bit at around £350 fitted. I admit, I do pay garages to fit tyres 🙂

The last time I paid a garage to do something was a cambelt a couple of years back, but thats simply as it has a high ratio of 'silly tiny mistake:big big expense' attached to it 🙂 (and I'd do it myself next time!)
