Engine cover is borderline pointless, as is the brace. Put both on eBay, close the bonnet and go out for dinner instead.

If it wasn't a lemon.. do you think it would be £500 ?! If you've only got £300 budget leftover when you buy it, and half of that is going to go just to get it back home, and you find it needs belts, a new 'box and 3 new tyres.. what are you going to do ?

Can you find someone to go look at it ?! Sounds like a daft idea to me.. £500 + £200 to get it to you.. then it probably will need belts and other work £600+ .. even simple things like a set of tyres and brakes are a few hundred more. If it's on 100k and not been looked after, it might need...

Throw it away and put a new engine in.

Cool story bro.

What is it... 3.0 TDI ?

Look on the V5 for export.. it will tell you what to do. If le person arrives with some waiting cash .. take it and give him the keys. Simples.

Tidy ? Clio looks like it needs a shave with that beard of flies ?

@White16valver was in the MX5 and @RSsprint was in the Vee Clio... Aside from that I think you're familiar with all ?

Get your own ideas ?

See you tonight then boys and girls. Will look to sit outside - probably on the benches to the left of the entrance and keep out the way a bit... Food's generally damn good, and so are the beers - so bring a driver ?

Fair .. but trust us (the collective CS) .. take it somewhere recommended :) Take a day off and get a cab/the bus/missus to Bluewater for a few hours. Not sure if they do Saturdays.. Give them a call and ask.

It's 20 mins away ?! Take it to any garage.. then let us know how that went ?

Location in the first post .. do keep up ?

Yep. This:

Why would he not ? He pulled out of the sale...

Are you talking about the wife or the Clio ? Everyone else still in ? @Cookie @Sunglasses_Ron @White16valver @Dr Jekyll @rs 1an @Phase1sr @mintno1 @Vicky.

Hopefully this weather sticks around until next week !!

Battery on my Sennheisers is wonderful... charges off USB when I'm in the office.

Welcome. Firstly.. why not buy a faster car ? Secondly.. what's it putting out at the moment.. 100hp ? So, you're allowed to go to 125hp without telling insurance ? What happens if it's 126 or 130hp ? How would they know !? Do you have to "prove" it with a rolling road print out because...

Merrels and a superdry hoody IIRC ?

Fridays are back ?

You're quoting the size of the tyre. What's the offset and width of the new ones vs the old ones ? That's probably your problem..

Good grief. Did someone open the bonnet and just pour litres of oil all over the bay ?!

Maybe the offending party had just set up his own insurance company but hadn't got any money in yet....

Speak to @Brian and see who he uses to ship his car around the country. Never seen it move under its own steam..

£1600 worth of work ? Ouch ! Put it up at £1500 and get it gone.. Should have given it away before you started the work haha ! Or triple the price and cover the advert in red arrows / circles and incomprehensible nonsense. You could raffle it off... print 500 tickets at £10 each... add a...

WTF. If this was a car-park scrape, you could get a bumper painted for ~£300 and move on with life... maybe. However... Bent rear floor and a-surface of rear bodywork, probably a broken exhaust, who knows what else is busted (suspension, wiring, structural parts) that you can't see...?! Go...

Go for it ?
