what condition is the engine in?

by **philhoward** on Mon Apr 23, 2001 10:47 pm

It runs well, no rattles. It gives the standard CVH puff of smoke at startup (valve stem oil seals - If you're interested, I'll do them (I was going to anyway, but haven't got round to it yet!)

Internally, the engine is pretty good (very little bore wear, doesn't lose any oil past the rings) with only a small build up on the head (pretty good indeed for the mileage!)

How do I know? I pulled the head off for a look! Naturally, I used a decent head gasket and new bolts when I put it back on...

i am interested but I am going to have to find out how bad the insurance would be first because i am only 17 and i have a feeling it is going to be quite expensive.

OK. Let us know either on the board or by email.

Sorry mate but insurance is a nightmare, couldnt get a quote under 2 grand!! being a student make that a bit excessive. looks like it will have to be a 1.1 fiesta. GREAT!!!

Anyone else? The car's gotta go - it's taking up the neighbours driveway at the moment!!!

u should realy try again for insurance, im a 17 year old student and im driving an xr2i with alloys all insured fully comp for 1400 quid.

Anyway im interested in the car for me girlfriend, whats the interior and the panell work like? not that im that bothered for 300 quid!

cheers from matt.

The interior is in very good condition (even I was surprised - no tears, fag burns or scratches); the panels are fine, just a couple of rust scabs (not bad for an 87 Fester!) - one on the front wing and one on the front valance. All panels are straight and dent free - the original paint is still shiny!

What insurance company is that with, it is damn cheap!! is it in your own name?

Rob

by **grintermatt** on Fri May 04, 2001 10:02 am

thats with sun alliance insurance i think but its in my dads name with me as the main driver. it took me about 30 insurance companies to even get a bloody quote, most of 'em wouldn't even go near it.

That xr2 sounds like its well worth more than 300 quid, why is it sooo damned cheap?!?

by **halfpint** on Fri May 04, 2001 12:03 pm

Its all well and good having it in your dads name but when you go to get it in your own name it will still be high cos the ncb will be your dads not yours.

I would have it for spares but i haven't got anywhere to keep it - sorry!

by **philhoward** on Sat May 05, 2001 2:11 pm

It's so damned cheap because I want shot of it - I've got no space for it. It's parked on the neighbours drive at the moment. The other 4 cars we've got don't help either!

The £300 is because I want to get rid of it quickly, and because I normally sell cars for what I bought them for (give or take a few quid)...
