Well after much soul searching, a LOT of advice from people & then getting  3 yes 3 signs from the car  . . . .

i have had to remove it from sale  :shock:

&

Take it off the road for the foreseeable future   :embarassed:

the signs

1, an oil leak - still to be investigated - but the 500+ miles i did in it at the weekend and the oil has dropped from max to just above minimum - and i can't sell summat like that

B, Rear wheel bearing (s) - to say i had to have the stereo on LOUD to cover up the noise on the way home is an understatement

iii, the alternator light now won't go out - again summat to investigate

added to the tax expiring in 2 weeks & the insurance the month after I have conceeded defeat and am mothballing it   :cry:

the plan - dont know - will need to look into the problems and go from there to be fair

It will get robbed of its stereo, maybe even the Reg Plate but the money i will save from Tax and reducing the insurance to garage cover only will at least free up the cash to fix the easier of the 3 problems.

Prepare for a sad lookin 'ssat tucked away on some ropey old wheels very soon

Oil leak? ABF! Piece of pee with your electrics as well! Would really make it something special and unique.

I think it's happy times since you are keeping one of the coolest cars on the forum  :cool: It also sounds like tea time. What kind of tea? VR6T  :cool:

Will let you know how well mine turns out though first  :lipsrsealed:
