Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted September 25, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I wonder what condition the front driveshafts are in? I suppose to the uninitiated, the size of the "transmission tunnel" might make them think it's RWD but maybe one of us should ask him if it's 4WD : Date tested 9 May 2016 Fail Mileage 102,678 miles MOT test number 2453 7729 9282 Reason(s) for failure Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2) Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2) Nearside Headlamp not working on dipped beam (1.7.5a) Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2) Offside Rear Anti-roll bar has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2) Nearside Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc (2.5.C.1a) Offside Front Brake hose excessively deteriorated (3.6.B.4d) Second to bottom item to save you all hunting! I wonder what the reply would be about 4WD - could be amusing! *** EDIT *** I just sent this via ebay : Hi, what condition are the driveshafts and CV joints in on the front? Also is viewing possible? Thanks Dave See what happens! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted September 26, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 The list of recurring mot advisories and failures is also a cause for concern, not well looked after and now being sold by someone who appears to know nothing about the vehicle....or maybe they aren't the owners? Scam? Then again perhaps they want to appear not to know anything 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangoman Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Personally, and I know judgemental, but anything with the term "mate" mentioned puts me off straight away. When I hear it they might as well be speaking a four-word expletive because it feels to me just the same. Makes me cringe... I just hate it!

The only time I normally use it is when I am referring to a friend or close acquaintance to a third party, as in: "yes, he's a mate of mine".

Administrators hughezee Posted September 26, 2017 Author Administrators Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Spotted this one via gumtree and the RWD did make me chuckle but put right off nonetheless, thanks but no thanks MATE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted September 30, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Seems like despite the logbook and badges, he was hedging his bets over which it is, probably because he doesn't know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted October 3, 2017 Author Administrators Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Former owner and short-lived member Nigel spent some money on it, not much mind and it does have DW1 ATF in its box, but very likely doing some good as it was only one part change so it's very diluted. Nonetheless, it's one I would have to think twice about just parting it out, so a labour of luv or lust for somebody maybe. Hopefully, it finds the right person to pick up where Nigel left it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
