General Time to go

[SGThirkell]

Well my poor Multi is dead. After a great innings and lots of adventures, she's got to go, but we've loved it. I'm sure I'll get another if I ever get chance but for now I'm car-less
Now the reason I put this up is that I'm sure the car will be going up for parts at the dismantlers so if anyone is in Grantham, Lincs area, this will be your chance to get hold of some bits as I know how hard they are to find.
As soon as I find out when he puts it out on the grounds, I'll post on this thread.

Thought you just couldn't get it started

You say that as if it's a minor thing.... a car unable to perform it's most important function

Anyway sad, seems to be sooo many Multis going to sleep atm very sad times

Well...seemed something very minor considering he could start it with easy start?..but hey ho..

lol, I'm just kiddin with you, sounded so funny, most people would think their car not ever starting was a major thing you know....

Yeah that's how it started. Got worse and worse till wouldn't start at all in the end but lasted long enough to keep doing ecu scans and finally find the injector pump at fault.
Just uneconomical to repair unfortunately but it lasted me 5 years and 137000 miles so was great.

Sad news SG . Is it not worth having a go with a replacement pump?:

It did cross my mind but there are many other minor things adding up, not to mention road tax at the end of this month, that swayed me into saying goodbye.
I'll miss the old car though, it was ace

Road tax is something you have to pay for on any car though.

Yeah I realise, just no money to do anything as I've recently just lost my job

 

[hastingsmum]

to be fair though I think a lot of people would have given up much earlier than you did.
