Scarface GTti Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 This car was my brothers. He`s a copper in Brighton. He got ripped off with his previous car and wanted me to find him a new one, so his mother-in-law gave him this car to keep him going till i found him a new one. This car was MOT`d by him just as i found him a car, it subsequently failed. Details of the car: 1990 Peugeot 205 1.1 Excellent condition FSH - 21 stamps in the service book and many receipts Tyres nearly brand new No tax MOT failure sheet states that it needs solid brake pipes front and rear. Thats it. Runs great I`ve driven it and think that either the clutch needs adjusting or it will need a new one in the near future. Superb clean car. Mileage-65k The car needs to be picked up by next weekend and you`ll have to trailer it. I tried to start it today but the battery is flat as i`ve had it sat in the yard for 3 months. With a small bit of work it would make a great car for your teenage kids, i was going to do it myself to sell it for a bit of pocket money but i`m always working away. It is SORN at the mo and i have the V5 here for it. Not sure what else to say, except first come, first served and i`ll try and answer any questions. Ta.

Scarface GTti Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Guys the car is in Coningsby, Lincolnshire. About an hour and fifteen to Nottingham or Sheffield or 50 minutes from the A1 at Peterborough just to give you an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesupratt Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Can you just tell me a bit more about exactly why MOT failed? either on here on PM or something, you say needs solid brake lines....so current ones are perished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface GTti Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 The words on the mot test failure: "excessive rust corrosion on 2 front to rear steel brakes and both rear steel brake pipes" Had the same on the wifes car recently and i got away with wire brushing them and then greasing them.

dangerous brain Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 New pipes can be made up much cheapness. I had to replace the ones on my sierra estate which is a far longer car and I think it cost me circa £60 including fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Jeez if I had the time I'd come up and take the risk on drivin it home. I take it that the motor is driveable just short on an MOT? Well booking an MOT slot and insuring it before you set off should suffice as long as it starts and runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
