16v for sale.... maybe
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 2:49 pm
Hey guys,
I'm considering selling my 16v I'm spending too much time and money on it, when I really want to spend my spare cash on the Rover.
It's currently got no tax or MoT and it's leaking LHM from somewhere. Doesn't sound too good, I know, but if someone was interested I could get the leak sorted and hopefully get it through an MoT.
I've done a fair bit of work in the last 14 months on it including 2 front wheel bearings, octopus, plugs, dizzy cap, rotor arm, coolant temp sensor, oil temp sensor, rocker cover gasket, clutch cable, diesel fan switch, idle control valve, inlet mani gaskets a couple of oil/filter changes plus some general tidying.
I've also put in twin cooling fans (although the second isn't wired in yet), a stainless steel scorpion back box and a K&N filter.
Bodywork is a bit tatty - paint is faded. I'm currently refurbing the bumpers though so hopefully they'll come out ok. Looks ok after a polish though.
Engine runs fine though and it certainly goes and stops well.
Jobs that I know need doing for the MoT:
Fix LHM leak
Fix ABS (light stays on)
Other less important jobs:
Fix speedo (lower cable needs replacing)
Could do with a cambelt change as I have not idea when it was last done(I have one ready to go on). last owner said it had had a top end rebuild, but I have no evidence to support this.
Fit new oil temp sensor (I have one, just waiting for the next oil change)
There's a few pics here:

So would anyone be interested? Not sure what to ask for it really, I suppose it depends on how much work I get done on it. but then again I haven't driven it for 7 months, so fixing it and driving it could make we want to keep it! I'm gonna put it up for sale in a few places and will see what happens.
I'd consider some sort of part ex for something sensible with a bit of power and plenty of MoT. I'm currently looking at a T5 Volvo to give you an example.
