Re: Is it April 1st!!!!
He's got several other bits at slightly more sensible start prices. i wonder if it's a genuine mistake rather than a pistake?

Like his s/h clutch...
Makes me wonder if this is the guy that "Tony Pond" off the facebook rover 800 group contacted about buying a full auto to manual transmission conversion kit, came back with £700!!
I'd love to convert mine to manual, did it once before on an 827 vitty..

Re: Is it April 1st!!!!
Adding the various bits to convert to manual it comes to a minimum of £500 on the starting bids - i haven't included the pulley as i've got a funny feeling they're the same on both manual and auto - might be wrong and can't be bothered to check!austinpowers wrote:scoobyh123 wrote:He's got several other bits at slightly more sensible start prices. i wonder if it's a genuine mistake rather than a pistake?

Unbelievably he's at it at again - more spares at ridiculous prices!

If you think that's bad, check the price for the engine and manual box!

Re: Is it April 1st!!!!
Did you win it though?
I know those pipes are tricky to get hold of and aren't cheap if you can get them new but look closely at the third picture - it looks like it's close to rotting through where the flange joins the main part of the pipe.
I'm fairly sure if you knew the diameter of the flanges or even the holes they fit into, a pipe could be made up fairly easily, possible even make adaptors up and then fit standard heater hose between. After all, it's only the link between the water pup and the thermostat housing.

Re: Is it April 1st!!!!
Could be Chris - having met him i'd be surprised if he was being that silly though. That said i'm surprised on an almost daily basis by the actions of others that contain little or no logic.
