OK, many of you now know that I am on the verge of buying a new meega.
So, what do I do with the old one: 2.5V6 CD auto saloon, 132k, rear blind, leccy sunshine roof, mirrors etc etc.
The main reason I'm buying a new one is because the old girl needs an MoT next month and she sure isn't going to pass:
These are her faults:
Pooped wishbone. Got a new pair in the shed, but haven't (= won't) fit them.
Pooped aircon compressor
Binding rear brake
Slight coolant loss (HBV?)
Usual rusty bubbles beneath window seals and NSR wheel arch.
She must know she's going because, in the last few days she has also acquire a 3" crack in the windscreen (lower passenger side - appeared last Friday) and the rear door trim has started to come away and now fouls on the front drivers door (that happened on Monday as my daughter got in).
On the plus side, she has plenty of life left in the cambelt and the cam covers are not leaking. She also has a pretty good Kenwood player with multi-CD changer in the boot, good Uniroyals, new front pads, new (last summer) receiver/drier, and new crank sensor. The alloys are good and all the toys work.
The chap at the place I visited reckoned he could give me a couple of hundred quid for it in p/x. That's all I am looking for, so I'll probably take that route.
What would YOU do?
