Hi Dave, are these still available as well please? -
I went from asking for 500 in a private sale to scrapping it for 100 cash in my pocket , free collection. I'm also allowed to take a few parts off it. I asked lol.
-
Quickly came to the conclusion that it's worthless even after offering it for 200 quid on the lupo forum , not even a sniff. I was thought if I sell it I want the arms off it. I did a fair bit of work on it including rebuilding the suspension, so got attached to it. I'm bad for it. On the plus side can sell some lupo spares . Got a Mk1 fabia 1.9 diesel for peanuts . In really good condition for the age. Just need a cheap hack to eat some miles . It's a lot faster than a non turbo diesel as well . I do love banger nomics .

Scrapped it for a hundred, which means I get to stick the wiper arms on the Corrado :thumbleft:
-
Ah, I see . It's on the lupo forum as well . Yeah looks like I'll be scraping it. Just feel bad as it's been a great work horse

huh?

Make: Volkswagen Model: Lupo MOT:*13/03/20 TAX: 01/03/20 (but cannot transfer this anymore), Tax is £30 Annually) Engine size: 1.7 Fuel type: Diesel Mielage 150,000 (currently still in use, so increases) Description including modifications: I'm the third owner from 16/03/13 onwards. Its my daily driver, but its starting to have a few mechanical issues, which I don't have the time to sort myself, so I'm hoping to sell it on as a light project for someone. The car runs and drives, and starts every time. Mechanic problems that need attention: - The Gearbox has started to wyne in the lower gears. This is due to the selector seal needing replacing and hasn't been sorted. I was quoted 1200 to source and fix the gearbox. It would benefit from an oil change. I will include the selector seal part with the sale. The noise isn't very loud (doesn't sound like a super charger, but is noticeable. Its been like this for about a year now. - I've seen on this forum the repair kit for the intenral gearboxes is around 120 quid? Hopefully this can be sorted by someone who has the time. I don't, unfortunatly/ - The bodywork is scuffed, there is also some surface rust on the rear wheel arches. I treated this with some wire wool and hammerite, but has come back. This hasn't rotted through the panel yet. - One of the door strips has fallen off and left the ruber residue on the door. - There is a dent in the rear quarter panel (probably from a bollard, was like that when I bought it) - The car has been used all year round. The interior is in need of a good deep clean. There are some stains on the front seats and has a cigarette burn on the rear seat. This is from a previous owner, and the car does not smell of cigarrettes (perhaps a careless passenger) - The Aux belt has started to get noisey at idle (will include a new Aux belt) - The wheel arch covers are missing. - The engine under covers are not fitted, but included in sale. - Rear suspension bump stops are torn and would benefit from replacing. I assume the rear suspension is original, as I've never touched it. Rear tyres are old and have been on the car from before I owned it, they are starting to get some hair line cracks, however it passed MOT without advisories - Steel wheels have surface rust - Original VW Wheel trims present, but scuffed Service history. Part service history. Full folder of receipts during my ownership. I have serviced the vehicle myself for most of its ownership. Very little history prior to my ownership. During my ownership I have done, or changed the following: - Cambelt done twice, last done 17/09/18 142646 miles (done by a local garage) - Front suspension fully replaced with genuine VW parts 28/02/17 - Power steering hose replaced 14/03/17 mileiege, 139727 - Front Tyres replaced 2014, Kumo's - Alternator, Aux belt, Tensioner, 23/11/15 mielege 135638 - NS front ball joint replaced 23/11/15, mielege 135638 - Rear brake wheel cylinder, Shoes, shoe fitting kit and Fuel filter changed 01/03/19, Mileige 142646 - Front exhaust pipe with CAT, gaskets reniewed 17/10/14, Miliege 129887 - Handbrake cable replaced 10/03/14, milige 118930 Location: West Bromwich, West Midlands, B71 area Images will be added later today. Price: £250 ono

Thanks all. Anyone think this engine stand would be okay for a vr6: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163889971742 Vr6 and gearbox should weight around 220 kg so should be plenty of this takes 350 kg . I like sealey stuff as well

Do they work with the HT lead remover tool, I found with the dub power ones you can't use the HT lead tool, which is disappointing. Cheers

Hey all, Looking at this one, as I have some vouchers: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cfc100-1-tonne-folding-workshop-crane/ Anyone used this and can recommenced? Given the weight of a VR6 engine, it looks like a 1 ton crane will be plenty. Thanks

Me please
