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
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
