Re: For Sale
I'd be stupid not to... now where can I park a car that's been half salvaged for spares?

Indeed! I've just sent the chap a PMWelton wrote:M, that would be a cheap way of continuing to own a 406 tubby would it not? make one good car out of 2
If I can find somewhere to stash it off the road, it'll be a wonderful way of keeping my '6 going forever on the cheap. Engine mount, rear seat, maybe a bonnet (if it's the right blue...), new tyres, stepper motor... It would pay for itself within HOURS!
And then there's the luxury of having a complete set of spares including an engine block...This 406 ain't going to get away!
Wonder what the insurance scenario is, as I'm covered to drive any other vehicle 3rd party only with the owner's consent. Does that include when I'm the owner, or should I have it registered to my dad?
Heck, if it drives, my dad can use it, saving me the need for off-road storage!<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: For Sale
Sods. My insurance policy document doesn't mention anythign about it at all, and the certificate (which says I'm covered under the circumstance) couldn't be more vague if it were written by a salesman...steve_earwig wrote:No, when the car's owned and INSURED by someone else!

Given the choice between a free car that gets worse over time, or walking... I should shut up now - he's probably going to sign up here in the next day or two if I buy it... D'OH! ;)I'm sure your dad wouldn't mind driving a car about you're continuuously taking bits off...
Hopefully he'll have a slightly more imaginative username than me...

What's wrong with the username? I've seen far worse. I've been far worse, once I was JJ...

Re: For Sale
Well the car's no longer for sale!
Fantastically it is EXACTLY the same as mine, albeit a saloon not an estate. Guess I should do a run-down on this great car...
Bad:
No turbo (erk! "how steep is that hill?")
Broken wiring to the heater blower (easy fix)
Warped front discs (easy fix)
Dodgy clutch (problems with the hydraulics)
Broken remote central locking (possibly just needs new batteries and a re-sync)
Needs a few new interior bulbs
Good:
Engine sounds and feels great. Needs its turbo tho
Newish tyres. Going to nick soon.
Bodywork superb. Including the bonnet. Which has now been put on my estate
Seats are perfect. Not the same as the estate's rear though. Arse.
Suspension is a lot tighter than mine, it corners with a fair bit less roll (how hard to swap?)
Steering's bang on
Everything else
Sold to me by a great man
I think you'll agree, a bloody good buy! The old man certainly seems happy with it! Me? I like a rear wiper and the ability to tell where my arse is! I'm sticking with estates and hatches in future.

Re: For Sale
Well done m! 
I've also read your other posts about the car. The lack of Turbo could be a simple fix like a split hose, leaking intercooler etc or maybe more seriously a siezed up turbo (hope not).
Good thing is there's a few on here with plenty of experience with this engine to help you out!
Keep us posted.
