92' TZD turbo for sale *SOLD*

[KRomer]

As I'm tired of giving 2/3 of the car budget to the insurance my white TZD turbo is for sale. It has done 183200 miles and has this summer transported me and my dog through europe as far as estonia without any problems.

The good:
Interior is in good good condition (i will give it a good clean but there might still be a few dog hairs).
Engine and gearbox very good
Mot'd till october 29th, Taxed till february
New tires in march (continental EcoContact3) have done around 7000 miles
Mechanic bills for handbrakecables, wheel bearing and a front to rear pibe from 2010
Has since may 2009 had new discs and pads all round, new front spheres, and regular service including hydraincage (spelling?) flush.
It has aircon

The not so good
aircon dosn't work. former owner told me it just needed a refill. I was quoted 250 to have it converted to a modern/legal type of fluid
Some rust by the rear doors.
Rustholes in both sides in support frame by the rear wheels, which will need welding before MOT. Mechanich said in the region of £350 to sort out rust for MOT.
Occasionally a very small hydraulic leek just in front of rear os wheel.

Price £300 or p/x with a-series citroen

That's the info to my best knowledge. Any question please ask and I will answer as good as I can.

Edit: Car is in Huddersfield

Paging Doc.

One for 'our Smiffy????

[smiffy1071]

That could be very interesting, and I have a long weekend coming up...

[docchevron]

Sounds ok.
Bit unsure as to where you mean when you say support frame by the rear wheels? Sills?

[KRomer]

Well doc, it is an unsure description... and I don't know the correct terms so I trust you can identify it from this picture.



And the car

[smiffy1071]

I will print this off, and show doc later in work this evening.
As long as he's happy....since it's him that will be doing any required welding, then I think we could be in buisness!

[JayW]

Looks worthwhile John!

Just a wave of the MagiMig...

[smiffy1071]

I think it could well be Jay. Funnily enough, My
CX GTi turbo came from Huddersfield too....

[Tim Leech]

factory TZD alloys FTW!

[cavmad]

Seem to suit white very well. Go for it Smiffster!

[toddao]

looks like it's got headlight protectors as well, that or my fuzzy vision..

Doc saves!

[KRomer]

You are right alloys and indeed headlight protectors. Those have proven very practical for driving on the continent, which I do a lot. Prepare them from home with tape, in the back, and then before you drive off the ferry put them on. Nice and easy

[docchevron]

That'll be the chassis legs then!
I assume both sides are the same?
If there's no other major rot issues then thats not a huge problem to deal with. Especially since I have a scrapper BX up in the air with good chassis legs!
Drop the subframe out of this, chop both legs off, glue t'other legs on, A steady weekends eork.
Shame I dont have any spare time!

[KRomer]

Ah, the chassis legs...
And yes as I said both sides are the same. This is the only big rust issue that I'm aware of but of course there will be some rust elsewhere.

[Stinkwheel]

Out of interest (sorry to thread hi-jack)

my BX has a hole in the rear chassis leg on the o/side. Its about half the size of a 5 pence coin. Now to me thats not much to worry about but its due an MOT in 4 weeks i thought id ask if anyone knows for sure if its an MOT fail.

(im assuming its fail due to its location etc)

If its not its going straight down to the test centre
