    It's no supercharged Jag but if all it needs is 4 tyres it looks like excellent value to me :)

    Maybe perishing hoses..... Tis 21 years of vintage :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,903 ✭✭✭✭Toyotafanboi


    i think 3 series of that vintage are known for corrosion on the rear pipes and the tank has to be dropped to replace them?

    Final Update on the ebay Megane for Auction. Someone went bananas and paid €1700 for it.:eek: I thought €700ish would be tops... !! as a matter of interest would anyone recommend ebay auction as a way of buying a car?

    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Renault-1-4-Megane-Zero-milage-Selling-complete-car-spare-parts-only-/111076188393
    looks like it is a damm good way to sell one, one would need to be careful spending that kind of money after a test drive, never mind some hopeful sellers spiel.

    If you knew the real mileage it's only worth the NCT/ a tenth of the asking price....

    If it were clean at least!

    I did notice the stuff I said the last time was taken into account, must be gawking through boards :pac:

    That's not just any old Punto, that's an 85ELX. Quite hard to find, quite nippy too ;)

    May have corroded brake lines at that age

    A chap I know has one, only passed it's NCT and it fried the ECU.... So sat at the front of his house with 11 months NCT and 6 months tax.... Since last August. Now being scrapped! He has it stripped down quite a lot as is :eek:

    I put a metric f*ckton of work into that car and got nothing for it, not even a thank you :mad:

    What I will say though is thank you karma, the new car is an absolute money pit :)

    Hate those fcuking Stilo's. Honest to god the only good thing about 'em is the price.They're cheap and cheap for a reason. Hateful yokes!

    Must find a Corsa for sale soon btw....;)

    To be fair the first run of them were loaded with spec. Loads of safety equipment, nice looking and something a bit different.

    To paraphrase yourself, as long as you maintain them religiously and keep fixing them they're great :-)

    I was looking at picking up a regular SR16, gearbox etc but if this is around in a month or two... Well, it's worth a look. :D

    VZR N1

    Crashed, Almera front end and some dodgy body work but that's a doner and a half!
