HELP! MECHANIC/SOMEONE WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT THERE DOING

[MattRS182]

Wanting to buy a 182 and he has suddenly dropped the price due to the brake pedal goes straight to the floor and all the nipples have been snapped off calipers

Whats the worst rough cost for me to repair this?

Potentially servo gone, if there's no leaking from any of the calipers.

You'd have to drill out/replace all 4 to bleed properly.

Walk away, if it's in that bad a shape and braking system been left that long without proper maintenance I'd worry about the rest of the car tbh

Ahmen. Just gotta sit and wait I guess

That was listed on Facebook for £1500. It looked a straight car cosmetically, but was a terrible ad! To be honest though you are likely to be buying some kind of project/work at that kind of money are you not?

 

[MattRS182]

I have been chatting with him for a few days, He never mentioned this at first, We agreed on £2300. Was meant to be viewing tomorrow and then saw his ad on facebook today

You can find good examples but patience is key. It took me 5-6 months to find the right car on Pistonheads.
Whilst you’re waiting is it possible to increase your budget, which would offer more options.
Although the price of Clio’s appear to be increasing somewhat the virus fallout may cause them to level out or even decrease if they aren’t selling.

I have a nice Arctic Blue track car with 78k and amazing history, Mechanically great, Mick at diamond has been looking after it for the last year covering all major parts, Cambelt, Water pump, Power steering pump, New PAS lines, New alternator, So im going to MOT, tax and insure it and just get the exterior mint to how I want it, Interior is stripped with 2 Trendlines

See how that goes
