Re: Harphamominom's Ph1 Project
That's KM's bare in mind, so 111,000 miles. Still a lot really, but as he say's they're rare as rocking horse s**t over there.

Properly looking forwards to getting this project on the road (literally)! Ill get some photos of it tomorrow when I go to pay a deposit and do some final checks.

Harpham, maybe a strange question but since you've owned both a PH 1 and a PH2 what are the pro's and cons and what made you decide to go for a PH1?
Re: Harphamominom's Ph1 Project
No at all strange. Tbh, i've never really thought of that. I just went for a Ph1 due to budget and wanting a cheap runabout.
I think if you want more comfort, then go for Ph2 imo.
Oh. One thing I have found is that Ph1 mechanics are much better than Ph2. Don't know what it is, but my Ph1 seems hard as nails, whereas my old Ph2 was a nail LOL. Others seem to agree with this.

Re: Harphamominom's Ph1 Project
I miss it like crazy!! It was breaking every 2 miles, but I loved it to bits!! Had the rare optional in dash sat nav extra too! Getting rid of it was probably my biggest mistake (although owning the 200 and this Ph1 has been nothing but a pleasure).
The first pics coming tomorrow, when I go to drop off my deposit. In the meantime, one to get you mildly moist (from when I was previously stalking it):

£800?! You've upped your estimate :rasp:. Hopefully once the few obvious bits have been sorted, it'll have a pretty solid engine. My anal detailing will get the looks of it back to factory fresh in no time though

Well the sunflower looks lovely and i hope it gives you less trouble then the Flamer, but you'd convinced me that i could regret selling my flamer, as mine isn't breaking down every 2 miles lol

What has AK been saying, Rob? Something cuntish, as per?!! lol
Knocked on his door. Finally caught him whilst he was in. "Oh haii there, my name is Harphamominom. I've seen that your Clio never moves. Would you be willing to sell it to me?"
I managed to drop some more money off the car today before we sealed the deal.

Now onto business... As mentioned, deposit was paid today. Belts and other jobs are booked in at Diamond Motors for next Tuesday. As i'm not confident on actually driving the car up there with the thought that the belts are on the way out (20 miles away from me), Gray has suggested I take out breakdown cover asap, so that I can phone them up and ask them to trailer it straight to the garage LOL. (Not sure whether it'd work, but I need cover anyway, so it's worth a try. Anyone know the best company to go with?)
Once those jobs are done, the fun really begins...
Hopefully, ill have my current Ph1 around until mid next week, so I have time to get the Sunflower in a drivable condition.
DIS GON' B GUD!!

Re: Harphamominom's Ph1 Project
It kinda is broken. If I drive it, the belt may snap LOL. I need to find someone with a trailer...
P.S. No Deal Stu, Sunflower fwennddd! :rasp:
It is very tidy tbh. Just the few niggly bits that can be easily sorted. It'll be a minter in no time!!

Re: Harphamominom's Ph1 Project
Shame Chris just sold his...
Erm, you could break the car so they have to recover it I suppose. Mick must be able to tell you a sensor to remove or something that the recovery guy wont work out? Or cut the throttle cable so it's too short to frig. Obviously this would be very naughty, and I would never recommend doing it

Re: Harphamominom's Ph1 Project
I was thinking about that Jenic, going to suggest the throttle cable but then he'd have to fit a new one.
I think I have an old throttle cable here, you could remove your one, snap my one and only fit one end. Make it look like the other end went walkies?

Re: Harphamominom's Ph1 Project
If you drove it saturday, I'd drive it to Mikes.
It's 20 miles.
Nurse it. Properly nurse it. But for that short distance, I'd go for it. How old is the belt?

Re: Harphamominom's Ph1 Project
Disconnect the battery and put some fake wires leading to it? LOL
Something simple. I am a mechanic r****d btw, so id probably end up causing more damage than good.

All ill say is, at an extreme, the swap will cost me nothing, even after the visit to Mick. I don't want to tempt fate and give exact figures though, as french sheds usually refuse to go to plan LOL.Looks much better than I expected.
Bargain? You willing to tell
