I need an estate/ rough daily as the 944 (this one - http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=20725 ) is getting knocked about too much.
Surfing ebay I find a likely candidate, poor condition, poor pics poor ad - nobody else was going to see it and it was the cheapest one I had seen, the price was silly cheap.
The ebay pics-
"audi diesel estate black"
(it was actualy an audi 80 avant tdi IN BLUE)
Absolutly minging inside and out, I felt sorry for my GF driving it home, though the seller kindly removed most of the litter from the car filling a large bin bag. then off we went.
We pulled into tesco to check the lights and levels before the hour journey home, no brake lights...turned out to be a fuse.
The sellers were not car people it was clear, but this was realy neglected, and they kept teling me what a nice car it was!?
Ive spent a few hours a night bringing it back to what it should be, il list the faults and how they were resolved for 80 owners,
no reverse lights
car locks when boot is opened
no rear wiper
no elec mirrors
all the above is the same fault, the wires by the boot hinge broken and shorting on each other, the rear wiper shares the e/mirror fuse which was blown due to the same wires.
Front doors dropped - new pins.
Dash bulbs blown
Steering wheel on the p1ss
Driver seat wont latch easily - missing bush on front slide.
Bonnet wont shut fully- misalighned catch
noisy rear wheel bearing.
Car wont pull and uses a lot of fuel-
Split boost hose turbo to cooler, I made one up.
So its now in mechanicly good and pulls well.
But it isnt tidy.
