General F reg light blue 4x4

[kolza]

If anyone else on here fancies a punt I won't hold it against you @kolza

However if the new non-forum owner turns up on here asking for advice I shall metaphorically pi$$ in their tank

Hahaha- or give the new owner advise how to maintain body work polish by using used brake fluid.

John, have you got the bid sniper tool? Add extra £50 to your max bid, set it at few sec before auction end, and leave it alone till finish ( go for a spin in Fizz), you may receive confirmation email.

Thanks for letting me know anyway, but i'm no longer interested - the reason is - the colour don't suit my feng-shui at all.

 

[panda panda]

Sniper tools ain't my thang!

Already went over the budget too

Maybe I should wait for the sales to start to grab a 4x4 bargain?

So were you the winning bidder John?

So were you the winning bidder John?

Whoever won it: £720 (5 bidders; 15 bids) seems pretty reasonable to me....

Looking on bid history t***t (116) that's John.

Can we playa round of fill in the missing letters!

 

[panda panda]

Oi!

I'm not t***t (116),

but I did win the auction

It appears you can leave a bid for a day and a half and not get gazumped at the last minute.

Bit of a shock really, didn't really think it would go for so little (unless it's rotten of course), so trying to formulate a plan of action!

Anyone fancy towing it to York?

 

[AndyPanda4x4]

Yaywohhooo! Epic!

Where is it currently and how far does it need towing? I might be able to help

 

[panda1408]

I may be able to help also, but you would have to wait a couple of weeks, so probably not much use.

 

[panda panda]

Yeah collection within a week, from Hereford, a short jaunt at 190miles postcode is HR6 OLR.

Would be great to do a proper collection with a forumer, though I'll get some quotes from shipley,

 

[panda1408]

Hmmm, its taxed until Saturday, could book an MOT at your local garage and drive it home

Is it?

I missed that!

Misfiring or head gasket gone so wouldn't want to go it alone even with breakdown cover in place. which means insurance to sort too with that option.

 

[panda1408]

It says tax until November 2013 so I presume thats what it means, the potential head gasket issue makes it a no go though I guess, plus you don't know what the rest of the car is like either!

I messaged the seller to ask if it's driveable, if it was just HT leads and not HGF I'd chance it but still need a lift down and backup!

Shipley quotes coming in at £204 upwards. I was hoping for £150 which is what I'd reckoned

I'd spend on fuel for cars both ways and bits and pieces plus insurance and mot!

Wow - a months wages gone before I've got them

 

[panda1408]

£200 sounds about right to me, a 4x4 and trailer or recovery truck would probably use £100 of fuel and the person doing it needs to make a decent amount. I suppose you'd be looking at a similar amount to drive it back with the added danger of it breaking down.

 

[purple haze]

Big congrats...

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

I'd just drive it, if it brakes 5 miles later RAC, thats what its for

 

[panda panda]

I'm tempted to attempt a drive, but that would mean getting a lift there and insurance and worry of wrecking it on the way back if indeed it hasn't got OMGHGF/MISFIRE specified in the ad.

I think I'll get shipley to do it for me. Garage is round the corner for a quick lift up to see what's what etc.

First thoughts are to convert it to fuel injection - is that difficult with a donor vehicle?
