Hi guys,

Need a sub-£100 Ford please. Anything will do, but would prefer a Fiesta of some kind. Condition not too important; MOT/tax not necessary but would be nice. Must run and drive though. Anyone got anything?

Ta!

[bas saph]

my local breaker paying more than that good though though

[Capri]

How lovely for you. Anyway, I still need a sub-£100 Ford chaps.

such a blaise remark, thats some top notch s**t mate, sorry for spamming, if i find anything local, il give you a shout

[Diabloj]

alright mate. i've got a 1.3 hcs fiesta flight 5dr mk3, i just gotta charge battery to check it but it ran fine last time i checked, where abouts you from?

[Capri]

Hello mate, sounds like just the thing. I'm in Kent but I can be in Southampton too. Where are you? Any MOT on it?

[Diabloj]

i'm in st.albans/hertfordshire, i'm afraid it doesnt have a mot on it.

[Capri]

No worries mate. What problems has it got that you're aware of? And how much are you after for it? And do you have any pics you could post up?

Not that I'm demanding or anything...

[FiestaBen]

New project Capri?

[Capri]

We'll see...

[Diabloj]

i'll get some pics of it 2moz, i'll also check to see whats wrong with it, from what i remember passenger side headlight is broken, one of the main bolts for front bumper snapped, boot release button isnt working, reverse light doesnt turn on when put into gear. theres not alot to do to it. i just dont have time or money at the moment to fix it up.

[Capri]

OK mate, sounds promising tbh. Will look forward to seeing the pics!

[Diabloj]

few pics of the car

[Capri]

Looks tempting mate. What are you after for it? I'm assuming it's running OK with no major mechanical issues you're aware of then? PM me a price and we'll see if we can come to an agreement.

theres an xr3i my mate wants rid of. white and all standard apart from a ss exhaust from what i can see.

he will take £100 for it if your interested. will need trailering away though fella

[Capri]

Definitely interested. Could you find out a bit more for me - why does it need trailering - is it just the lack of MOT? Does it run? And what does he think it'll take to get it through an MOT?

[slaney21]

its been sat on his drive for a while. the starter motor is knackered and think it needs a new gasket. other then that with a good polish and proper clean it will come up trumps! Il ask to go over this week after work and get some pics for you. Will try and get over tomorrow. Got no tax or mot matey as the lad who owns it cant drive yet and this was given to him by a neighbour as they moved away.

its in tidworth, hampshire so about a 2 an a half hour drive from kent. maybe less if you drive at speed.

[Capri]

OK mate, sounds good to me. Will look forward to the pics. Does he reckon it'd bump start? If you could find out which gasket's gone for me too that'd be a help!

[slaney21]

yeah could give it a go. the starter motor is out at the moment but could plum it in and give it a try. Might need the tyres pumping up also. will check it all when i take photos

[Capri]

That'd be ideal mate, thanks.

[slaney21]

hello fella. got some pics which il put up tomorrow as i have to skoot off shortly. He mentioned that the engine will need a gasket and that the battery is flat plus the starter motor needs reconnecting. other then that it just seems that it needs a massive clean. theres a slight dent on the passenger side by the repeater and the bottom half of the car seems to have been painted black for some odd reason. il get the pics up as soon as i can

regards
lance

[Capri]

Thanks mate, that'd be ideal. If you could find out which gasket it is that it needs, that'd be grand too!

[slaney21]

no probs. I can pm you his number later on once ive uploaded the pics so you can have a chat to him. I didnt have much time to have a good look so might be easier if you had a chinwag with the lad.

[slaney21]

sorry if the piccies are too big


















im unsure of the milage as i have a feeling its been round once but he is unsure as well. i didnt check the v5 before i left but im sure it will be on there. the last pic is where theres a slight dent. hard to see in the photo. Couldnt get any of the rear as its parked right up next to a hedge but from what i can see its all in ok condition and standard.

if you want his number then let me know and il pm it to you.

[Capri]

Yes mate, that looks good! Chuck me his number and I'll give him a ring sometime today or tomorrow about it! Cheers!
