Time for COA to depart. **NLA**

murphyv310 · 14th September 2014, 14:28

Hi.
COA is now finally for sale.
The last few months have been difficult with all sorts of personal problems, car problems too.
My family has now taken the bull by the horns and have clubbed together and along with a small finance deal from me I have now settled on a new Fiat Panda. All the work recently on cars and job problems have caused a re-occurance of my Angina to the extent that I've been off work and have been told by the doc to ease up.

Back to the car then.
Its is MOT'd till 31/08/15 with no advisories.
Tax runs out at the end of the month.

Good points.
5 excellent tyres.
Newish exhaust.
Polybushed front arms and lower engine mount.
Tazu master.
Very good body, tiny amount of rust on O/S rear wheel arch which has been attended to.
Lovely inside very clean and only a little wear on drivers seat
All new discs, pads and shoes.
Lots of history and serviced by me every 6 months.
Leak free 1.8K series as sweet as a nut.
Only just over 87,000 miles

Bad points.
Needs two rear wheel bearings as the reluctor rings have been worn by rust from the backplates. (They "may" clean up, I've not tried)
N/S front strut needs a top mount, drives OK but is noisy.
Clutch judders occasionally usually after a longish run, this leads me to the next item.
N/S inner drive shaft splines were worn to the extent I lost drive, I've just fitted a good S/H one from the scrappy so the car is now driving fine.
Slight amount of rust on lower part of O/S sill, didn't even show as an advisory on the last MOT.

Anyone looking at the car will buy it, although it has some faults its not the usual rubbish you see in a garage, I'd keep it but health is telling me no.
I am looking for £400 ONO as the car is.
It is available now with the one exception that the rear head rests need to be swapped with the correct ones Cossie Dunc has, I'll try to get this done Monday or Tuesday.

Any more info please PM me or reply on the thread so others can see the replies.
If no sale I'll put the car on E-bay, hope someone here takes it though.

Hi.
I forgot the air con needs a re-gas. Of course the price will be negotiable due to this.

Here you go Trevor. I've picked a few out, hope they're ok.

Hi.
Although the Fiat is now off the cards due to not getting credit I'm running this AD for another day, I've have two offers one is forvthe car to be broken up and the other not at the price I want. If no offer near my asking price by late tonight I'll pull the AD.
Many thanks.

Hi.
Well the AD has run a few days longer. There had been no interest.
I'm holding onto the car for at least another year and have decided to fix all problems she has. I'll be getting Cossie Dunc to fit a new clutch too. She will have a few trips to Dublin next year and hopefully a trip to the Czech Republic.

Hi mate

That is great news indeed. I am very glad you are finding a way to keep your car. She looks very good. I am sure you are making the correct decision.
