    Looking for an engine crane around Kildare/south Dublin.
    Engine stand too.
    Cheaper the better!!!

    Can't help directly, but did you look into to buying new. That stuff is cheap enough from the likes of Irish Garage Equipment. Quality may not be great, but adequate enough. Might suit you

    Looking for a drivers side brake caliper for a 1990 Talbot Express, same as the Citroen C25 or the Peugeot J5. These came in both 14" and 16" wheels, mine is the 16"one.
    Thanks

    Here are a few items that I discovered on clearing put an old garage.
    I don't know what they are off but the previous occupier had a hackney business and drove Zephers, Consul 305's, Dodge and Ford V8 (pilot ??).

    Mostly lenses of different shapes and sizes and a few dash clocks.

    I will upload attachments.

    Anyway, they are available free to a good home if anyone wants them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 541 ✭✭✭unfit2006

    3 or 5 door? Will make a big difference to value, auto won’t help value either.
    What work does it need, mechanical or welding/paint?

    A long shot I suppose but will ask here anyway - I'm looking for two wing mirrors and a brake master cylinder for a Wolseley 16/60

    The brake master cylinder should be generic to most British cars of that year/ era, ask in somewhere like rathgar motor factors , George might recall what it is .

    A 99 Corolla here, if you want all the benefits of Japanese reliability combined with the sturdiness of German bonnet, while also looking like an absolute twit then there you are. Has to be seen to be believed

    I've used Milner before and they're great. They ship from the UK though which makes it a pain.
    I haven't used them since Brexit.

    I've a complete Rover SD1 3.5l V8 engine I want rid of. It's stuck from poor storage. 1 cyl head has been removed for inspection. Sensible offer will get it. Kildare.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,790 ✭✭✭✭galwaytt



    Abandoned project (kinda). A colleague has a 1980 MGB GT 1.8 (plastic bumper model) and the time has come to call it quits. Complete car, but extensive rust - make no bones about it - cills etc all gone. Will need a complete top-bottom restore, or might suit someone who has one already to make as donor car.

    PM for details, pics etc. Open to offers.

    looking for a Hendersons of Sligo tax disk holder.

    Can anyone identify this? Or more importantly where one could be sourced?! Absolutely beautiful!




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,580 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    It's an early model Series 70 Land Cruiser.

    This one on Done Deal is a later 1993 one.

    You could probably get chrome bumpers to give it the retro look if the wrap is covering damage.

    Wanted:

    A 1987-1995 Mercedes SL (R107 or R129)

    Ideally a good, clean, low mileage car in good condition with a good service book & maintenance records.

    I'd like it as an occasional , weekend type car usage (estimated ~3000km /yr)

    Looking forward to hearing from anyone with one of these. Kindly pm me with contact details, etc.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,863 ✭✭✭RobAMerc


    superb cars - incredibly well made and smooth too for a 30 year old vert. If I was buying again I would hold out for a 500 though. I cannot comment on this one, other than I would question the originality of the colour ( Not saying it isnt, but at a minimum the Sacco panels should be a different colour ). Take your time and spend wisely ( and certainly dont buy anything sight unseen )



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,302 ✭✭✭daithi7


    Thanks Rob,

    Though not yet a classic would you (or other posters here) rate this 19994 500SL as a better buy?? (It's pricier but looks a very clean 500SL, yummy :) )

    https://vandp.net/sales/2180/1994-mercedes-500sl-cabriolet/

    All input much appreciated

    thats lovely, but if you are bringing that to Ireland it's going to have cost you a LOT of money by the time its on soil. You'll be waiting for a while till its worth what you are paying for it here ( I think ). However, in the mean time you'll have a fantastic car. I honestly believe they are one of the best classics available. Far better car then the R107 it replaced ( and rot a lot less ) and ground breaking in their day, but still totally useable now. Its a real rung or 2 above the w124 it was based on in terms of class and feels like it could survive nuclear attack but the 500 is also still a bit of a hooligan when pushed on.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,164 ✭✭✭MIKEKC




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,333 ✭✭✭w124man


    The R129 is a very good car but they have their issues. The soft top must work properly and travel from full close to full open within 30 seconds with engine running. Hydraulic cylinders are very expensive for these hoods and recon kits can cost €1000 with pumps clocking in a €500. The hydraulic fluid should have been changed every four or five years. The ECU for the roof mechanisms can blow if the car has been jump started. Interior parts are eye wateringly expensive as well. They also rust just like a W124 if not looked after but generally these cars are looked after. The 320 V6 is a lovely engine with plenty of go but doesnt have the V8 grunt or sound. Get the V12 if you have big balls and pockets!


    This was my one before I sold it last year.

    I bet you wished you kept it until this year! These have exploded in value, I'd say more than doubled in the last 12 months.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,333 ✭✭✭w124man


    The asking prices have exploded but the selling price hasn't. Im very happy with the price I got for it
