[_-john-_]

Thought I'd give it a quick rinse and take some piccies seeing as it was bright outside!

I'd say it's not bad for £650!!!

All I can seem to find wrong with it (after getting the petrol gauge and lights sorted and the fob fixed) is those two door bits being a bit minging. And the brake from the drivers side fron being a bit 'grindy' when it's bone dry but not noisy when it's wet?! Got a mechanically minded friend popping over soon to check it out.

Its the best colour, and it looks good but your an ASW-ing in General Chat :A: lol

[Dom]

The grind could be a driveshaft or wheel bearing.. a Hair dryer will sort out the doors.. & Wrong section :)

[_-john-_]

Oops, seems I'm a bit bad for 'wrong section threadingy thingy' action. Will improve quickly I promise!

[Dano]

hair dryer the door strips and rip em off.. would look 100x better :y:

At least you're not a dick about it :y:

WRONG SECTION ;)

Bargain mate!

[D--R--E--W]

Wrong section bandwagon ftw

[MAXSTARR]

thats some squeaky clean shizz

[C4_Lew]

needs lowering

[DannoWilko]

Lol at the needs lowering... Havent heard that in ages, how about IBTL lol.... Looks v3ry clean mate, absolute bargain.

[Rogue_Shadow]

Hoping to find a bargain like that in the new year :D
Looks nice mate, project car or general run about?

[Bound]

Not bad at all for the money, tax and test?

Rip that Vinyl off though.

[Bound]

Also, that's dedication to wash your car in the snow.. Did you have gloves? That must of been horrific on your hands.. With my poor circulation that would be bloody agonising.

For now, run about. But if/when I get a new job in London, I am hoping to do a few bits to it, nothing too mental...just put my stamp on it, first thing I want is a new bloody sound system for it!

Rip that Vinyl off though.

Had a months tax and mot on it at purchase. Put 6 months on now and MOT is on 3/12/2010 :panic: Hoping it should go through as everything seems bob on minus the grinding noise which I'm thinking is the drive shaft after much research, not an MOT fail that is it?

And sorry once again to all offended by my pitiful wrong section action!

Hot water & one hand in my pocket! Haha, wasn't too bad, it was running up and down two flights of stairs with buckets of water that was most horrible, good job I'm like a whippet

Mileage?

[MiniGibbo]

Nice colour needs slamming.

[_-john-_]

Mileage?

113k on the clock but I think it's had a much lower mileage engine in it, it seems to pull like a train and is incredibly smooth. Either that or it's been well looked after! Was expecting it to be smoking all over the show and rattling/creaking/leaking...but nope, in dead good condition. It was a toss up between this and a ford Puma I'd seen at slightly more money, but plumped for this as it was the cheaper option and seemed spot on (minus one or two to-be-expected niggles)

[MiniGibbo]

113k is nothing.. could well be on the first engine its not a moped :homme:

[_-john-_]

I had a vts that got to around 70k and started being a bastard, I treated it dead well too, full services when they were meant to be done etc etc. But still was a twat.

Think it's the shell and stuff that surprised me the most for the mileage, got a few minor blemishes but nothing a machine polish couldn't tidy right up :)

Hit and miss with engines I reckon

Could have a decent and looked after 50k engine which dies on its arse and then a 160k engine which has been abused and is still going

Mines on 101k and it still pulls stong etc, luckily members on here had it before me so i know most of the history

[_-john-_]

That's good. Little to no history with this, just a few MOT's. Just gonna service it myself when I've got some tools, no point spending half the cars value at Citroen on a full service is there!
