I'll be recovering it anyway I'd say, not sure if there swappable though. Think the back of the passenger seat clips onto the bulkhead while the drivers is adjustable.

Lovely, lovely car, Silvera. One of my favourite cars when I was a young lad

I'm surprised it hasn't sold.

That certainly is an utter bargain.

If you spend 55 on an NCT, you should get at least 100 more for it provided it passes. As is, it's too much of a risk to buy even at 275 imho. But maybe someone just needs a car for the next two months to tide them over - it would suit them

It has all the past NCT records, and I will happily NCT it for any interested party,.
At 275 you cant really say its a risk to be fair.

It will pass no problem

Ha ha, looks like the Laguna is objecting to going into early retirement:D
by throwing out a P0314 fault:P

So hoping for the quick solution, and having no specific Renault software to pin down the "misfire on unknown cylinder".
I renewed the plugs, checked the coils, and renewed the throttle to manifold O ring, flushed and checked the injectors, and cleared the code.

But in defiance she still throws out the 0314 and blinks the engine light on amber intermittently.

And not wanting/needing to invest anymore time or money, I will now be flogging it off for parts,

Update.

Pinned it down to DF061 and DF062 fault,

Connections hopefully.

I'm pretty sure I had the exact same error code with "misfire on cylinder 2" on my BMW E60

Replaced the coil for cylinder 2 (had to look up on youtube which of the 6 cylinders was cylinder 2

) and the error came back a few times. Cleared with cheap OBD2 device and after a few times (engine restarting), problem was gone. And stayed gone. Surely you owe it to the car to try that?

And surely, someone in here is going to pick up a very well maintained car for beer money?

So. This comes in as a very specific "Wanted"!
Any way of tracing up a "one that got away" classic?

I sold a car a couple of years ago to a chap in cork, a GMC pickup. I've lost the details as it's about 3 phones ago at this stage. But I'd really like to buy it back.
I know this is a "how long is a piece of string" question but does anyone have any reccomendations as to how to even start?
It's got a lot of sentimental value and I really shouldnt have sold it!

Hi.
Hope some one can help me with my Quest,

Nice one! A bit laborious, but it does work

Taxed the Porsche for €1080 today. It really is a scandalous amount of money for a classic car driven less than a thousand miles per year

direstraits · 14-09-2018 6:01pm

hi, not sure if it's correct section. My son is obsessed with De loreans (who isn't!) he enjoys classic cars in general but always talks about the De lorean. I wonder, does anyone here own or know someone who has one and would be willing to let him sit in it and take few snaps? His birthday is arriving soon. He will be 14, I will obviously pay for the time petrol etc.

Cheers

Sadly, time has come to move my Fintail on. I've owned it about 8 years and haven't managed to do anything with it. Other projects mean she is now looking for a new home.

Good bits:
She's all there, no bits missing.

Bad bits:
Needs full restoration.

The car was sold new in Enfield, North London in 1966 and was imported into Ireland in 1978. It still only shows one owner on the original brown book.

I'm based in Cork but the car is located in North Yorkshire at the moment.

Any interest, drop me a message.

BorneTobyWilde · 17-02-2019 2:52pm

Can I ask a question about getting rid of two cars.
I don't see how any of them have any value, but in the same time would hate to see them crushed.
One is a Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel saloon 1990 and other is Volvo 960 1995.
The 740 saloon is straight, no rust gunmetal grey, engine is out. I was swapping a good 940 diesel engine into it, but that engine which was fine, now has a weird injector pump problem. Car will not turn off, swapped out the solenoid so on, but still that engine will not shut down, will also race with no way to shop it. I know the engine is perfect, does not burn oil, no head gasket issues so on,

Volvo 960 is a saloon, some bits of rust. Tan leather which looks like new except for drive seat that has a wear point in usual place.

Basically I want shot of everything Volvo, the two cars, the diesel engines, 5 or six diesel injector pumps and various other bits Volvo.
I'd hate to scrap a perfectly good Volvo D24TIC engine, it only needs the injector pump sorted.
Are there any Volvo breakers, or classic breakers that would have use for these.

I was in a scrap metal facility a few months ago, where they crush cars. The number of perfectly good cars being dropped off was staggering. These are cars that have been replaced through dealer scrappage deals, so legally they have to be destroyed. The foreman showed me some beauties that had come in recently, and he was finding it difficult to bring himself to crushing them. There was a late 90s 5 series in mint condition, and a late 90s A6. Both full leather with all the gadgets. There were a few other tasty ones too. The next time I called in, they had been put through the machine. He'd also put through an impeccable 760 estate. Sad.

No, that's a misconception. For the government scrappage scheme that was in place in 2010 / 2011, the cars needed to be destroyed alright, but any of the dealer scrappage schemes currently in place, the word is just a marketing ploy

The cars coming in for scrappage are sent straight into the trade, to be sold on, but no doubt many of them have no economic value so will be dismantled / scrapped. This is not a requirement though

I believe you are right that these "dealer scrappage" schemes are scrappage in name only.
I'd expect that most dealers would try to get some value from anything good that comes in by selling it on in the trade.
So how come Outfox saw good cars being scrapped?
Were they really not that good or are some dealers not bothered trying to make a few grand?

They really weren't that good. The car I scrapped myself in a modern scrappage deal 2 years ago is a good example. It was a beautiful looking (but not mint) 16 year old 3l Jag S-type. But NCT was almost up, it had high miles, and there was an intermittent issue with one of the rear lights (probably a grounding issue) and battery needed replacing

A shame to scrap it, but it just would not have made any sense for anyone in the trade to even offer €100 for it. With a new NCT the car would have been worth not much more than €700 given the EUR1500 motor tax

Now having said that, there were some great cars scrapped in recent UK and USA official scrappage schemes where the cars needed a cert of desctruction. Fields full of all sorts of cars that would be worth quite a lot of money now even in poor condition. Like Porsche 928 etc. We covered it here a few times, I find it hard to watch
