BX TZD estate 89,000 only, needs home

[richjenn]

I'm in Devon, near Bovey Tracey.

My J reg anthracite metallic BX TZD estate has been languishing in my drive since its' MOT ran out last October.
It needs rear suspension bushes, the rear mounts probably need welding, but otherwise it basically OK. It was in use daily till July (when I was seduced by another one , in current use).
The rear tailgate was replaced after a parking disagreement with a mid grey one - looks quite OK.
The car has had a NEW octopus (£320!) and a replacement alternator in the last 3,000 miles
The interior (black) is VERY good, all complete.
The car has done a genuine 89,000 miles, and I can honestly say that the engine is the best TZD I have ever driven - goes like s**t off a sh*vel.
Frustratingly, after starting first time EVERY time for 3 1/2 years when I was driving it as my main motor, it now is failing to start.
I have been quite poorly of late, don't have the time or energy to pursue the matter, so if anyone wants the car as it stands, it's theirs, as long as they take it away.
It's currently SORNed
Otherwise it's sadly for the scrapyard - I'm getting grief from SWMBO about it sitting in the drive!!
Send me a private message if you want to chat on the phone for more details.
Cheers

having organised a land rover and trailer I'll be there on Sunday if thats o.k Rich?

Organised a trailer which appeared huge and a discovery to tow and found our way to Richard 's neck of the woods. Dartmoor villages were designed for horses and livestock and we threaded our way up to his house leaving the trailer on the main road.
15 minutes and new glow plugs later the little darlin' sprung into life and we drove her back to the trailer and up on. The BX only just fitted by a whisker.
15 minuites later a combination of full bladder and lack of experience caused the driver(not I) to jack-knife us on the A38 going downhill from Kenn on the dual carriage way and the discovery re-designed the reservation barrier.
The trailer with TZD performed a perfect parallel parking manoevre and finished up in the fast lane facing the wrong way. Not a scratch.
The discovery was not in such a happy state.
The nice man with orange flashing lights let us ride in his lorry back to Bristol towing the TZD on trailer and we all got home safely Thanks to R.A.C and whoever is watching over me that there were no other cars near us.
Thank you Richard she is a very sweet little car.

So sorry that the journey home so traumatic - glad no one more than shaken up!

Very happy that J839 OTT has found a home - great that the forum brings people together like this.

Thanks to all who contributed


Cheers
