headgasket broke, oil and water clean since when does it really matter if they are clean, if a head gasket is broke its broke and clean water is not going to do nothing for it.
as for the 'spanish rehash of a mk4 golf with a boot slapped on' at least be uniform with where the alloys go, 2 on the left side, or 2 on the front/back, this eejit puts them on diagonally.

these are the ultimate machines, they are the mixture, of a tractor, a lorry and a 4x4 so they can go anywhere, pull anything, plough a field, then take you to the shops, and because they are built properly by mercedes they are strong.

I love unimogs, they're fitted with portal axles so the ground clearance is excellent. Not good on the road though, some had top speeds of about 40mph. Also, they have models called the 406 and 407 :lol:

Gumtree seems full of knackered wrecks recently.

Selling on it is also a pain. A few years ago I tried to sell a Xantia on it. One seller wouldn't believe that it had 70k miles on it, and rudely hung up! Another texted saying its only worth £150.
Chancers want a rolls royce for scrap money!

And Unimogs seem to be the ultimate off road vehicle. Surprised they haven't sold a passenger car version, would sell well to primary school parents.

thats the reason the unimog is so good there isnt really a yummy mummy mobile so its still a thing you can proudly drive.
I sold a toyota carina on gumtree one night, it was a fantastic old car, got £600 and it was away 2 hours after putting it up, i mean literally away as in cash in my hand car off my land.

Anyhow bought a friend a nice wee honda civic once, got in it today again just to move it as it was parked badly but anyhow i think it wins most horrible interior of the year:

Have you been using that Honda as a henhouse, farmerpug?

You were lucky getting the Toyota sold without issue. No texters offering £100? Noone turning up with £300 cash "that's all I have"? Noone calling and not believing the mileage and hanging up?
