Already done new brake pipe to offside rear, surprisingly easy 5 minute job, 2nd hand tyre same wheel. Tomorrow new lower wishbone going on NSF and track rod end, not yet arrived in post but I think its gonna rain anyway. £70 quids worth all told. First MOT failure in 3 years so cant complain. Dont want to sell it really but Patsy has new silly Beetle. So here goes.... 02 diesel 110 elegance estate, 218k miles, 3 lady owners from new, well, 2 ladies and a Patsy. Unmarked interior, outside was same until it fell off ramp on Sunday, small dent in sill now and scrape on lower front bumper. Everything works and a towbar. Go on Reg, hit me with the bad news. 
Strangely enough spotted similar on Gumtree last week, a bit newer and half the mileage, same kero compliant ASV engine but the Laurin and Kermit model, or whatever it is, leather seats and plush carpet. In Norfolk, no fecker wants to travel here to buy cars, failed MOT on headlight alignment......... Guy wanted £395. So much more sensible than a Beetle FFS! 
Posts : 23101 Posts : 14451 Same year same diesel engine white one with 50% more miles on it made same price on auction last week on ebay, happy enough then. Only bad bit was no alloy wheels but Patsy says she dont care, I do though, have secured some nice Merc ones, same fitment, for £62 on ebay with good tyres. She brakes unnecessarilly a lot for bends so originals will wear out eventually......... Posts : 30546 Posts : 30546 Posts : 14451 Posts : 30546 Posts : 59106 Posts : 30546
