    Thanks, Just had a chat with Mark who told me to get myself down to the local meets and quickly explain who I am before you throw things at the car

    Also gave some info about the previous owner who sounds like a but apart from the owner is there anything I should know about the car itself? as Im starting to have second thoughts on parting with my £300.

    any info would be much appreciated

    It' would have to be pretty bad to be worth less than £300 to be honest, when its fixed you should be able to put a grand on that.

    Try searching for threads started by SWS, there were a couple of issues and not too sure if he resolved them. You can also search for threads started by CA POWER and laugh as he tries to give himself advice using the SWS account.

    Sounds like its shagged, it wont even start at the minute as the fuel pumps dead. Gonna spend some time looking through the breaker section I think

    Thanks for your efforts

    Have you read his posts on sussexjapclub? He mentions the brake pad falling out the caliper and continuing to drive it using the handbrake and gears to slow down.

    I noticed the front left caliper was taken off and chucked in the boot, the disc is also very scored. caliper seems OK though

    I suppose, as you paid £300 for it, there is room to spend some money to
    get it going again.

    Welcome to the SXOC by the way, and hope you enjoy your stay!

    As Landspeed rightly points out though, you got it seriously cheap so you could still spend £1k on it, get it running sweet and it would still be a bargain.

    Not really keen on spending 1k on it to be honest, I'll get it up and running - if the misses likes it I'll keep it for her, if not then I'll break it for parts and sell it

    tasha_p79: Welcome.
    I'm always round the Bognor / Chichester area (well everyday), if you need a hand, I'd be happy to help. I'm also a mechanic which helps.
