Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8
It was written off at a year old because of that damage. I suppose they would have to replace the whole side to keep the insurance happy.
Note the lack of rust after four years exposure to the elements. Imagine if that was a transit.

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8
I've been through the tunnel to price a job in Penshaw this morning. There's a bit of a long gradient on the A19 heading towards Sunderland. I looked behind me to see big clouds of bright blue smoke billowing out. I got off the A19, turned right and the van put the light on, lost all power and sounded like a bag of hammers. I pulled over, switched it on and off again and normal service resumed.
I think I'm going to park the fucker up till I get my plate off it. I feel sorry for the poor cunt that buys it.

You certainly seem to be playing Russian roulette with that pile of shit.

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8
Just park the damn thing until you get the plate off and get it gone, doesn't sound like that engine was a good one to begin with either that or the mapping has gone completely to pot of it was a different PS engine to begin with? Make it some body else's problem.

This is the expansion tank from the on the transhit, black with oil from when the engine shit itself. I reckon I'll have to clean it out before I punt it on. If Arnold Shark see it they might back heel it. The antifreeze still looks nice and clean though.

How much is a new one? Can't be that expensive to just lob a replacement on.

Good thinking. I'm loath to spend any money on the fucker though.
