Sorting one of the cars
« on: 29 July 2010, 16:49:11 »
Got both window runners on the S-Type done today so that cheermed me up but then as it's just been sat there for a good 2 weeks the battery has gone flat  >:(

Got to fit all 3 radiators tomorrow then it's ready to go  :y

Did you manage to source the window gubbins at a reasonable price then, or did you end up taking an 80 quid hit for the regulators?

They do seem to be quite hard on batteries - I've just had to replace mine recently.  Probably didn't help when I came to replace it that the previous owner has obviously skimped a bit and installed something that was around half the size of the replacement I bought (which was rated as OEM standard).

£67 each side for the regulator & motor  :( Battery will be given a full whack, rads were taken out by a massive stone but only £100 for all 3, so roughly it's worked out

£900 - Car
£134 - Window regs & motors
£170 - Leather interior
£10 - Gearknob
£100 - Chrome accsessories

So £1314, for a 3.0 car with all the bits done, not an issue at all done 88k miles drives nice etc etc and will be sold for 2k+ not too bad on this one, didn't want to spend as much as I have but, little outlay for a larger return cheers me up  :y
