Dear all
Its been a hectic day - my boss is off with pneumonia and i now have 104 staff.
On top of this i have managed to finalise my private plate transfer to the MV6.
On top of that i have purchased another car - but its not a vauxhall.
Saw it on ebay - had only been on 2 hours - seller in glasgow, like me.
Emailed the seller a few questions - as its spare or repair on a buy it now, i knew i had to be quick.
Seller returned my email with lots of positive details and turns out he is two streets away in the city centre at work, with the car.
So at 8pm tonight i pick it up ( came in on train - drive home in new car)
Its got fsh, 3 months tax, £30 quid petrol, 3 months mot and a female ( dysfunctinal, erratic, problematic ) auto gearbox.
Its a 1997 r reg 1.6 megane and everything works. Cash in the tax, syphon off the petrol and it will have cost me £95.
A satisfying day - as long as i get home!!!
-
i should say this is NOT for personal use,
Play with the box AND see if i can get it going - usual checks, fluid,sensors etc . If not price a Gearbox and replace it.
I reckon i need to replace the box as the early scenic ones were mush
If not break it.

Well done Mark, money for old french rope ;D

Thanks Folks
when i said a cracking little car - i did of course mean in the context of megans - not that i thought they wer easy on the eye as a marque. They are very soft as we know but there was never anyway i could lose on this one.
Lots of grim from the old box fluid - going to run it a week and make sure its ok before listing on the next free car listing day on ebay!
Any one want it ;D ;D ;D ? course not ;)

That was just a pre-emptive strike from the car, as something was going to break, it was just warning you LOL
