Multiplop Afterlife

Post by Bangernomics »

After this fellow reaching its EOL point the venerable DaveQ offered it for car dealing gangsta profit levels of -£500+

Placeholder for the rest of it’s miserable tale.
Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

anyway clutch kit bought for this thing too last night of the bay from a parts liquidator for £40 delivered. LUK too so should be alright. Because life, I now have a cambelt kit, waterpump and a clutch to fit to this thing. Looks like it is staying for the foreseeable. Hateful looking but so damn good at being a skip and chewing the miles.

Can you start at the beginning. I've no idea what you're on about.
These are some words.

I think he's bought an end-of-life Multipla and is trying to resurrect it with some new consumables & mains voltage applied across its nipples.
On the road:
1998 Disco 4.0 V8 (manual)
1994 Vauxhall Calibra 3.0 V6

Running but need fettling:

1986 Honda CBX750F
1991 Maserati 222 SE
1990 Yamaha XJ900F

Tax & MOT-exempt, woohoo!

1982 Suzuki GSX1100SZ Katana

Possibly shame, but no doubt he'll explain himself in time.

The story begins when I fired up a townmate 80 on new years day to cruise over the Pennines to a little known but well respected car trading magnate.

There's a pic somewhere of me collectioning said plop but I don't have it I think Dave papped me.

So what have I discovered as I went about MoT prep.

Front discs look a bit thin but if they pass I’ll swap them as £50 for those and pads and if it doesn’t pass then £50 wasted. I would ideally like to muster 6-9 months out of this, idiotically bought its replacement on a whim. Also EGR valve @ £28 is on the cards if I can limp it through the test. This has gone well beyond a quick limp through now. And 1 numberplate lamp inop and front fogs dead? May just remove the switch or put some tape over for the test.


Purchase £200
Tyres £40
Radio thing £5 (thieving halfrauds)
Wheeltrims £12.95 (awfully cheap or just awful?)
ABS sensor £42.50 (thieving gits)
Fuel (loads in so excellent)
Collection £2.91 (refill of TM tank after collection run)
MOT £32.50 FAIL-Bums 10 working days to take it back (Friday 18/1/19 latest)
Front strut (spring death risk reduced) £40
Front brakes £55
Bulbs (stock items £3)
Oil change 4.5l 10w/40 (stock £9)
Droplink for strut swap £9
Exhaust section £39 as ordered gaskets too. (Chopped up as wrong one ffs)

Exhaust clamp and two rubber hangers £6.87

EGR £28

Retest (gits) £14.99

Running total £531.72

Current car take back value £239 in Manchester.

-£292.72 Neg egg. (About a months rental on an annonobox. Winner.

Total effort spent in hours up to now.

Initial clean - 3.5 hours
Oil change - 0.5
Bulbs - 0.5
Brakes (1.5)
Exhaust 7.5
Strut 2.5
Rear interior os light, crap connection, 0.25

16.25.

EGR (1)

17.25 hours

Done.

Who spends £292.72 on a £200 car? Loonies I guess.


Going to knock the EML off later and see how long it stays off for and then sensor fitting as WFH today and rest of week now. Seems it stays off for about 5-6 restarts.

EML update, popped on after I collected it from the MOT. At least not during.
