iem Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi I have a 98 VTi Aerodeck in silver that's been sat on my drive for about a year. As much I love the car it needs a few hundred spending on it and I have another car so I need to get rid. I've owned the car for some years and drove it daily for a couple of years, then parked it up while I drove around in a van, then put it back on the road for 8 months or so and it's been parked up since then - about 11 months or so. It's got three keys including the red one. It's got loads of history and documentation. It's bog-standard with a genuine 125k on the clock; it runs very well and it doesn't burn oil. I think I had the cam belt done when I put it back on the road last time, oh and I had a new windscreen fitted to get it through the MOT. It's got some of the usual issues, like ABS sensors and I think the n/s rear wheel bearing needs replacing, there's a horrible rattle from what seems to be a loose heat shield somewhere. It needs 4 tyres - the offside rear is flat but will probably hold air for long enough to tow it away. It won't start without a decent battery, the one on it has run totally flat and is unlikely to recover. So, I either scrap it which I really don't want to, or I pass it on Free Of Charge to someone who will pick it up and take it away to a new life! I'm in south Manchester. Can you help? Cheers,Iain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gel Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 First off....fair dues to Iain for offering a car that can easily be fixed by a DIY enthusiast Craig, have you considered hiring a car transporter ? http://www.pgtrailerhirescotland.co.uk/car-transporter.html BTW a bottle of Scotland's finest should put a well deserved smile on Iain's face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyfie5 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 no I hadn't thought of that! that's a good thing to know for the future though thanks, just need a car with a tow bar lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Be careful with towing. Could Soon get in to bother with the law. Regarding weights, and license entitlement.www.transporterhire.co.ukThis could be a better option. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
