If I were you and were able to face making the journey again, rather than actually repairing it at the side of the road I would get it running (likely removing stop solonoid plunger and alternator belt, then with +ve battery lead removed connect jump lead 'twixt +ve battery and glow plug connector, then move jump lead to starter solonoid) then use an A frame to tow it back. Only real issue is if it gets hot in traffic without fans available, but even with a grotty radiator in this weather I doubt it would get that hot.

Yes, that evening was not short of entertainment! I don't think I've ever come so close to being arrested... and of course I didn't have my work ID card on me
I also think it would be a shame to scrap the car purely because it has a shite alarm on it (which, incidentally, the previous owner actually believed was disconnected because she's never had anything to do with it)... and don't forget you have willing helpers and a bed if necessary some five miles - which equals half an hours drive - from the car!

Today, having shifted some scrap from my driveway, I had space to have a proper look at this car.
It needs:
So it's breaking. It won't be for long, as now that the decision is made, it's going.
Anyone need any estate-specific bits?

- New rear wings.
Welding repair to the back of both sills.
Welding repair in both rear door shuts
A clutch
Both large and small octopus
A complete interior
MOT
Tax

this might be a signature

Just the splitter please, if it just mounts on to a standard bumper. I had thought it was an integral part of the bumper moulding, but thinking about it that would be a costly way to manufacure it...
Let me know what you want for it, and hopefully I can collect from you if you are going to the National and/or Stratford.
