Silver '03 Diesel 75 Tourer - Reluctant sale **SOLD** - Page 2

Seem like perfectly reasonable Qs to me. I got the 'rectangular hole' thing straight away and in the vein it was intended. As probably did most of the rest too.

GettingOld · 6th December 2014, 15:27

Yeah it was meant as a bit of humour. A tape deck on a 2003 car. Ive had CD
stereo's for some years now.

I am genuinely interested in the car, But would like more pictures of the damage they
mentioned.
I have posted a link to another car im interested in. But really need someone that knows the diesels to hold me hand in my 1st 75 purchase.

I like the 8 track comment.

Not quite that old. But i often feel older.

I asked about the plates as i know nothing about these cars and it could have been
mechanical or cosmetic?
2 answers for that also clutch or number plate?

I dont want to spoil the advert. But take everything i say in humour. I receive jibes as well as i give them so no worries of upsetting me.

Back to the advert and the OP. More pictures please. I have PMd you.

OK, ok. Been a busy weekend - family event.

They are reasonable questions and so will address:

"Yours has that funny rectangular hole in the dash also

My best guess was a fingernail trimmer/polisher?

"

Oh Hahaha - It's called a 'Cassette Player'. I think they had one on the Ark as well. I use a £5 cassette adapter and plug it into my phone. Works fine. I like the sound of the system as well - more old analogue.

"I presume the synergy is a tuning box?" - Yup. Do a search on these hallowed forums.

"...Got any pictures of the N/S?" Yup - 'cept they all seem to have disappeared off the site! Will post some more when I get a mo - they are literally just a couple of small dents. As I look out of the window at it on the drive one is on the rear door, in the center just below the chrome trim - I think it's probably been banged against a post or something. Can't see the other one.

"Plates replaced recently? Can you explain that to me? Not seen that so far?"

Yup. The number plates were de-laminating and looked horrible so I replaced them with some nice shiny new ones. Old ones are in the boot so you can see no dodgy business going on.

"Whats the score on having one key? I spotted a post that said dont keep cranking
if you have a low battery because it can erase the key."

The other one is around somewhere but don't know where it is. Happens a lot actually - keys do get misplaced. I've seen at least one other sale recently here with only one key.

"How hard is it to get another and cost?" - Dunno.

"I presume there is no FBH on your car?" - Dunno - what's the acronym mean? Sorry - never seen it.

"Sorry for all the questions but im new to the 75 scene and don't want my first to be a lemon."

S'ok. I had questions too when I bought it. Thus I joined this most excellent forum.

FBH = The fuel burning heater which helps warm the engine when its cold.
I didnt know some of these cars had them either. But it does sound very very useful.

But it seems quite easy to fit.

All your pictures seem to have vanished. Got any from under the bonnet also please.

Right - after some viewing no-shows (not from this site) and my sister expressing interest before Christmas - and then pulling out a week later coupled with the tax running out at the end of January I really need to shift this car. Nothing has changed from the original post otherwise. So make me an offer. I have until the weekend of the 24th/25th and then will have to take more drastic action.

I'll try to get the photos back up tonight.

Did holding the roof lining up against the roof (just behind headrest area) stop the buzzing out of interest ?!!
