Looks OK and if you have a shed to p/x you can have it for £350!  :)

You can weigh your shed in for at least £150, that's what they'll do with it. Save you getting it to them. Try and think before you post, young Tigger. ;D

no stereo and one side of the bottom bumper guard is damaged as in the pictures and  different style alloys on the rear, displays message brake light,coolant,and front light, but these are all fine. have also noticed the passanger rear carpet gets wet no idea where from, i just put a towel down to soak any up

Classy ::)

All fairly easy to fix so ideal for someone wants a project I suppose. First task would be to unblock the scuttle drain, then check if the heater fan still works, change cheapo brake light bulbs and sidelight bulbs and fit a new expansion tank to clear the messages.

On second thoughts.... if the obvious stuff is so wrong then start by fitting a new cambelt and checking that the brakes work. Check the inside edges of the front tyres, check the coolant bottle for mayo and only then move on the the blatant faults.......

Finally...... get the LPG install inspected by someone who knows the pitfalls.

In other words.....give it a miss.... ;D

Quite right Uncle STEMO, but if I weighed mine in for the £150 I'd have to walk to Taunton.  ::)

Try to think before you post.... :P  ;)

LPG conversion by Profess Autogas. By the reviews of this outfit I have seen so far and some of their own work on their own website, I would run a mile. They are well known for "done in a day" LPG conversions.
