Paul, I would concentrate on your current one first, a poorly 4x4 can be a real pain to own!

I thought you were serious for a minute there

Come on - this is never a 32000 mile car! If it is I'll eat the full service history that came with my 14

It seems to be on the way to making strong money though! Regarding the rear wiper switch, mine's done 6 times the mileage and my switches are almost pristine. Fair enough in a city I imagine you'd do a fair bit of reversing but even so….

Maybe the previous owner(s) had very abrasive thumbs?

Still can't see the rust though.

I wonder whether it was previously used by the club as a rental car?

I need to get credit History. Tryed for a tesco card with 13 months no intrest but they sad ive got no credit history. So i had to get one with my bank. HSBC Which is only 3 months.
I think its stupid If you havernt had to borrow money before they should give you anything.
Relax i no what im doing going to use the card to do mine up. Pay it back on pay day done shit loads of over time so i can afford it.

Any way about the car. The only saloution is for someone to find out where it is and have a really good look at it.

I suppose it could have had a second hand switch at some time...

The rust though is clearly visible between the number plate and bumper in the second picture. Maybe my eyes have been jaundiced.

EDIT: and, apparently yours has done 6 times the mileage

If you look back to the last CCC National in 2009 this car was there.

Paul, I'm sorry to say and I really don't want rub salt into the wound, but this is what you should have done with the TZD that you bought before even parting with your hard earned cash !

The /\ quote's from THIS thread, for ref.

You paid for your 'BERTIE BASSETT' TZD before actually seeing in in the flesh (So to speak) which is not really a wise-thing to do IMHO !

If you had looked at it before parting with your cash (Or got some who knew their onions/BX's on your behalf) most person's probably would have passed on purchasing it, yet alone considered it especially at the price you paid for it !

So as Tim stated in his post, just concentrate on getting your TZD reasonably right, rather than looking for another BX, especially a 4x4 as it could be a bottomless money pit for you if you have to rely/use a garage to do any major repair work !

Think it's too much time spent...erm...on your own.

That is the reflection of the numberplate in the bumper - I can just make out the letters!

Be vary careful with credit cards, from someone who once got a bit carried away in his younger days. You can live without them.

Oh damn it - as I said somewhere else, sometimes a man sees what he wants to see.

I think it's the black paint that's making me see things - I just don't like it, shows every imperfection and somehow makes the trim look old.
