I bought this car a few months ago as some of you may be aware.
Well what a piece of curse word it turned out to be.
If I come Across Mr L Shaw of Rotherham again then I will be sure to Nut him hard and then when he is down get the boot in a few times.
I am almost certain that this car had a dodgy MOT and I am planning to take legal proceedings with the garage that issued it as the brake discs were found to be very unsafe - read on
when I bought it there was a few little things that were not quite right with it (like the central locking/ door handles/alarm/ half an exhaust) but I thought a little bit of time fettling it and it will be ok.
So I have fixed all the niggly things only for it to turn around at every oppurtunity and cost me money I/we do not have , The previous owner may aswell have just slapped me around the face
SO I have now spent a small fortune fixing:
The awfully low (home grown lowrider kit!) suspension.
So bad that It actually gave me backache, problem fixed wth replaced rear shocks - rides higher at the rear end but more practical for me as I need to carry a lot of odds and sods... The front was going to be replaced but as its for sale I shant be doing it ....obviously.

The Brakes - Rear Discs and Pads - an easy job some may say ...... but when each and every sodding nut and bolt was seized/rusted on this beame a very costly exercise at the local garage as I couldnt do it at my garage for the lack of Oxyecetelene gas!!
having a custom straight through pipe made.
4 new tyes for the awfully curbed alloys ( the young lad clearly didnt know how to drive :
Then on to the front brakes - - I tried to change the pads after buying new pads and discs for the front only to be faced with a seized caliper - a 30 min job turned into approx 3 hours wasted and again a garage bill to help me bleed the brakes with the help of the oxy torch once again as it was seized solid.
Suffice to say that I was slowly losing my Rag with this car - what pisses me off a lot is the fact that it is incredibly good on fuel - 49.94 mpg - giving it some beans also I might add and I have to say that the engine is flawless.
This is why it is for sale - I will be chopping the tax in because the car is now only good for spares. seriously you cant repair this car .... not after today.
Explanation :
Yesterday after doing 400 miles on the weekend I came into my village and noticed a funny noise coming from the wheel - curse word it I thought as I pulled up at home 11pm - I will have a look in the morning.
woke up this morning and forgot about the wheel - drove down the road and the fecking wheel all but fell off.
3 yes 3 wheel bolts had sheared off.
this was actually the straw that broke the camels back. after trying to free the bolts by drilling them out I realsied I couldnt do it without some more oxy gas ( and spending more dollar ) so I kind of flipped out.
Badly
The car now has some intersting hammer shaped dents and a very large hole in the windscreen
I have some appointments wih a psychiatrist in april and am currently taking anti depressants because of this whole thing. I'm not joking!
f you want to buy this car for all the salvageable parts then it will cost you 200ono but you need to trailer it away
or if you want some parts then PM me for prices for thing I have not listed ( I shall not take the curse word at all )
I will strip it but I would rather this car be taken out of my sight immediately if not sooner
I will sell the engine for 100 removed by myself a mate and a skate board (130,000 miler)
The badgeless grill for 20 posted
the red rear lights 20 for the pair
the tailgate - 20
the gas struts are not there so don't ask.
set of four yukky alloys but with nearly new tyres - 60
pm me for the rest - I have to go take a tablet.
