It sounds like it could possibly be driven away with tax, some LHM and a spare wheel `just in case`?

Well, seeing it's in a specialist Citroen breakers I suspect another wheel/tyre could be found and if the leak wasn't too bad (I couldn't find it with a brief look from the in front of the car) I guess so. An hour spent there with it should see it ready to roll, I'm sure. If the leak can be located on the ramp there, and a fix made, that'd make better sense maybe.

I don't think the exhaust is blowwing at all badly, but apparently it does need one. The rust and small hole at the rear of the n/s sill as it meets the arch will need looking at but I've seen much worse.

I don't know if I mentioned, the car's in need of a good clean!!!

I'd love to be a part of saving the car, but circumstances mean I can't even store it now.

I'm out of the running too, my heart says yes but with a strip of the TZD and build off the TGD Turbo, I have neither the time or money.
Needs to be saved though.

I will offer to go and look at it again, and check - as best I can - anything anyone interested here would like looking at.

Any idea when the MOT runs till?

Could you find out the REG and PM it to me?

Could you check on where the leak is from and ideally the more details the better, could it be an easy fix?

WHEN does it need to go by? I MAY be able to do soemthing but not for a couple of weeks maybe! Need to speak to the insurance people (i would hate to see a quote on it, but i may be able to do it!), all in all i REALLY want a new challenge and another car to look after would be awesome

Just have to find me a Uni Parking permit and i know just where it can stay

I assume TAX is £175? Or does it fall into a funny category being a 4x4?

MOT is up to Jan 2007. I'll phone Mark tomorrow and get some more info if I can. PLEASE phone him yourself about timing, as I'm really busy at the mo and can't guarantee to be as 'on the case' as I should!

I think I'll try and get him to get it up on the ramp asap for that leak diagnosis...

So.

Is anyone interested??? I could go down there after checking that it's still in one piece and do some photos. Not just to satisfy curiosity you understand, but if someone was feeling slightly serious...

Shame it`s so far away, I`d like to at least store it until someone came along to buy it.
I`ll have to nip to the local Cit specialist and see if the one he is rumoured to have lurking about is still for sale.

Philip Chidlow · Post by **Philip Chidlow** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 5:48 pm

Well if it is there should be even more reason to get this one too. Make a good one up from the two?

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Stop putting crazy thoughts in my head

Heart says YES! head says NO!

Oh, one more thing: that would make me a 4x4 AND people carrier owner. I`m not sure I`d fit in with the clique because a) I`m not bald, b) I`m happy with my `size` and c) I have no intention of parking half on the kerb, have on the road outside the kid`s school

Question: Do you know if this car has a sunroof?

There is still a crashed-but-complete 405MI16x4 available to me, and I have a 1.9TD in the middle of being rebuilt. Can you see where it may all be going?

heh heh.

Hi

I don't think it has a sunroof. I can find out. I don't know if its been broken by now...

DavidRutherford · Post by **DavidRutherford** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 7:48 pm

Philip, I'd be interested to know, but please don't go out of your way to find out, as if I'm honest, I really don't have the time for yet another project.

But, it would still be rather fab to have a 1.9TD torsen-centre-diff 4x4 BX estate. Espectially if it is a non-sunroof model, as then I'll actually fit in it.

Would be quite a fantastic tow car too, and I seem to be doing a lot of towing at the moment.
