Reason for breaking is due to needed too much work to be economical for me to sell on.. Heres the faults;

Clutch problem - Wont go in 1st sometimes, either wore out clutch or a cylinder..

Coolant loss - Tightened up all the hoses and fitted new expansion tank cap, stopped it for a month but its just lost a header tank full again

Air con pump pulley bearings are gone, the pulley is wobbling about and has chucked the belt off a couple of times

Big score in the windscreen from where the previous owner didnt replace the wiper blade

Wont let me lock the car without the alarm going off (sometimes)

Theres a loud "crack" from underneath when letting off from hard acceleration or hard braking

Heater cable has jumped off the back of the controls, its stuck on demist windscreen

Slight miss-fire when cold (injector?)

Could do with discs and pads all round

Crap handbrake

Cold starting is getting worse and worse (glow plugs)

Body work isnt in the best nick, stone chips, paint flaking etc..

MAF sensor is knackered, so running with it unplugged at the min

No radio reception, think the aerial has jumped off the back of the radio

And a few other niggly problems, it has been doing my head in for a while now, the last straw was the other day when I come out to it having punctures! Just keeps letting me down..

So time to break it! Let me know what your after!

Cheers!

First obvious question - why are you breaking that, it looks spot on?

(apart for being a hatch obviously)

Shame, as you put such a lot of work into it, to get it to where it is now.

Always liked it.

Shame to break it then if it's all good, I'd stick it on ebay for a week, will make more than in parts as the only really valuble part is the body kit, an engine with that mileage is fine but no will want it for a transplant.

You'll get a cash lump sum and wont need to get rid of the remains.

Did go through a puddle yeah and it started messing about not letting me lock it etc.. But its dried out now.. But its got a list of problems as long as your arm, just lost interest in it..

how much for the front bumper, headlights, wings, side skirts and rear bumper (the body kit basicly)

Kit is provisionally sold mate but iv got the headlights still..

It was a nice car when I bought it and yeah I put a lot of time and money into as you can see from my project thread but its just one problem after another, the 2 punctures the other day was the final straw, all it does it let me down!!

Il edit the thread with all the faults shortly lol..

Tried having it up for sale, was getting offers of £600-700 etc..

Im not letting it go for that, owes me £2000..

I know il never get that 2k back but id want atleast £1100 for it, which is never gunna happen..

Iv had a lot of interest in some parts, iv got about £600 of stuff on it that people want.. So I think im gunna go ahead and strip it..

Might keep the shell for a T16 conversion or something yet..

Lol, yeah.. It will be a project..

I can always buy MK2 bumpers back eventually..

Havnt decided what im doing yet..

Might make it a track car and just stick MK1 bumpers on it, they dont cost as much when you smash one in.. :laugh:

The cheapest ZS diesel on ebay is a mk1 at £1000 but a BIN of £1495, most are much higher, stick on there starting at £999 and a reserve of £1100 and I bet you get more.
