Anything with a bit of tax and mot

Post by JulianO'Connor » Thu Dec 18, 2008 11:08 am

My derv has some worsening suspension issues (arb links and balljoints) and due to xmas I probably won't have enough time to sort them out, or money if I use a garage!

Therefore I'm looking around for some cheap transport to keep the heat off the 825 for a month or two. If anyone has any kind of car with a month or two's MOT on it then please do let me know. I really can't spend more than £250 :cry: Tax is optional as I can get back the months I don't.

PM me with your bangers! Ta!

1990 Jaguar XJ6 2.9 auto. MOT until April, good runner, all electrics work (apart from occasional central locking oddities), new winscreen and fabulous luxury!

£XXX to you - and I'll be losing money on that (no tax on it, though).

He was talking about keeping it the other day. I'll ask if you're interested?

Blimey, well theres a couple of interesting options.

Chris, is that the one with the funky air filter?

Rich, wouldn't want you to lose money on it but if you are willing to go for it I'd have to ask what sort of fuel consumption you got on petrol.

MPG- bit scary really - about 15-17 going to work and 21+ on a run. a lot less if you do short, local trips.

Okey dokey, don't worry about the filter, I was just trying to identify the car! I'll see what Rich says about mpg on the Jag as I'm always tempted by something new. I'm sure you understand!

EDIT: Rich replied! :shock:

Yes that is rather scary. In fact it would cost me about £100 just to drive it back to my place, where it would cost £100-150 a month to feed it! Its damn tempting just for the experience but I can't justify that for a run around Rich, sorry.

Chris, I'll pm you OK?

No need to apologise.

Shame, I'd love to try something totally new.

Just noticed on the pics Chris - do I get 4 alloys and a steel spare or three alloys and the spare already on??! :wink:

The other tyre had a flat when we fetched it from Carl and hasn't been checked since.

It currently sits on 3 alloys and a steel with a flat spare.

It was never looked at as he hasn't used it.

Ah well, beggars can't be choosers - I'll bring a can of tyre-weld!

Started it up earlier. It's had the battery swapped twice while it's been parked so I need to look for the radio code.

I'll try and get my brother to clean it out tomorrow as it's still dirty from we fetched it from Carl's.
