Breaking J reg diesel estate (now scrapped)

[catsinthewelder]

EDIT

The car has now gone, as well as parts that people have asked for I've removed the lights, rear section of exhaust, 2 front spheres and o/s mirror if anyone needs them. I'm getting another BX so I'm not desperate to get rid of spares.




I'm gutted but I knew it would happen sooner rather than later, Chumley is dead. If the shell was in good nick I'd drop a new engine in but the rot in the bulkhead is pretty terminal and hes a bit twisted at the front from hitting a stone wall before I got him. I have a tame local scrapman so I'm hoping to have him taken there and left a week or so to get the bits off before he goes on the heap

Any bits anyone needs before he gets scrapped? I can post small bits or collect from Ludlow

yes the tech weekend is still on, just I'll be tinkering with something else.

A certain Phil Chidlow is selling a BX if you need a replacement.

Sorry to hear this, but hey, it happens.

Might well be some stuff I'm after - some decent wheels for a start (if they've got decent tyres, so much the better!). I shall try and think of anything else I might need.

[Mickey taker]

is the rear wiper switch black if so Im interested ,
I understand the estate ones wipe more than once i.e. you have to switch them on and off if so I am deffinately interested ,
( is it a straight swap ?)
if all of the above can I have a price including p+p please

[sdelasal]

i'd be interested in the rear suspension cylinders - as spares for my estate. PM me please if available.

[mat_fenwick]

Could you PM me a price for the rear wiper motor and arm please? I can collect from Ludlow next month if that's OK.

[MULLEY]

If the hydraulic pump is ok, let me know how much via pm please?

[cacaolat]

Hi
If the speedo cable is still ok I am very interested...let me know.
and maybe the pump for the front screen wash but that one is not so important as I could stil;l get a new one cheaply

[catsinthewelder]

He's being picked up today and the scrapman is ok about me raiding a few bits before he gets chucked on the heap, if everyone just shouts out parts for the moment we'll work out prices afterwards. My heads spinning a bit as our Austin is off the road with the engine in bits and the VW has electrical problems so Ms C won't drive it and I'm only parking at the top of hills.

I'd be well up for buying the red baron if it was nearer but I really can't make it over there quickly enough.

^ It had a new lower cable a couple of years back, I'll whip it off

Pump for Mulley
Wheels for DW
Wiper bits
not sure its worth getting the rear suspension cylinders as they're not that great (sinks quickly) and they'll be a faff to remove

[mat_fenwick]

If it's not too late could I please have the little rubber plug which holds the black cover over the front wiper mechanism; also a few of the screws (M8 I think with a Torx head) which hold the trim onto the tailgate. Thanks!

What's up with the VW?

[Mothman]

Hi,
if its ok, could i have the small green 3 way junction thingy that sits on top of the LHM reservoir please?

Back again, not sure whats up with the VW Matt, possibly just bad connections but sometimes the electrics are completely dead Ms C wouldn't drive it before it started playing up

does it have a sunroof wind deflector?

[Tim Leech]

does it have a sunroof wind deflector?

Tis an estate, so never had factory fit estate.

I'm trying!

XM estates had the sunroof from the factory, hence the request on the off chance!
