It's had the diff welded and is toasting up some Nankangs in a farmers yard as we speak...

It was auto. Also, a friend of mine bought one to do the same with it, did about 5-6 rings and all the oil went to the left hand side of the engine and it siezed :pac:

Ah, didn't spot that, thought it was a bit cheap for a RWD alright. Still, grand field car

Not everyones cup of tea, but you will probably never see another one like it for sale in a world where diesel autos are rare to begin with.

I think he's on mobile. Lazy feckers, not bothering to carry around a laptop to get onto Motors!

Some FF users have issues I believe although mine is fine.

Would you get 250 quid off though?I'd say you would get it for 850 ish. Still good find plenty of tax too.

Hi Guys

Huge fan of this thread. Based in the UK for the past 5 yrs. You guys said the tax for the M5 a couple of pages back would have been crazy. How much road tax would you have to pay on that car? the Same car here in UK would cost £260 TO TAX.

An M5 here would €1566 in tax I think.. absolute joke really.

May not be as "cheap" after the budget review next month.

Just a little up date on the 9000 project. I've been driving it for the last three days and all of its woes have come to the boil. Thankfully there's not that many. After a second opinion and a look under it on a ramp it was decided that the car needed the following. Two front discs, two wishbone bushes, two bottom ball joints, engine management temp sensor and a thermoestat. Quick call to the local lads in the motor factors and everything came in a €157. So in total I've spent 400 quid on the car, 157 on parts, 50 quid on diesel to collect it and a crappy Goodmans stereo has been donated. So that's 607 quid and counting. I'm gonna tackle the bodywork myself as its all in handy places. I'll post pics as I progress. Dare I say it I've been really smitten by this, it might be a keeper.

I'd do my bloomin' best. I'm sure there is always some haggling involved.

Anywho!

Those Volvo v40's I posted, rang up the ol' insurance company. They wouldn't insure me! Too much of a risk at my age! It's a bloody Volvo!

Thats just ridiculous - this country's insurance company's are a law onto themselves.
Anyway, it's probably not the fact that it's a volvo, its probably more to do with engine size.
I'll bet if you ask them what they would insure you in they would say "well anything really as long as it's no bigger than a 1.2 ltr".

barura · 19-11-2011 2:41pm

I was told it was on the scale of 1-50, that it was #29, so as a student, I needed 2 years no claims and a full license... Oh and be 25!

A ford focus would be easier to insure as its only 10/11 on their scale. Must be price of parts and labor to fix I'd assume.

Ah well, roll on 25! :P
