Guy I'm buying the 109 got in contact with me and it appears my worst fears were correct. The dizzy bint who originally bought it from him has not just buggered the rad but appears to have completely shagged the engine. Signs of over heating, ptfe tape all over the rad, brown water , thermostat removed etc etc.... thinking HG and worse
As he put it he's not going to pass it on to me - his reputation is worth more than the hassel she is threatening small claims etc - when he refused to buy it back she came out with a three page list of faults - my two personal favs were poor handling and saggy door cards ffs
He returned my deposit instantly and has been upfront and honest throughout.
He did suggest trying her direct to see if I could beat her down and source a replacement 2 1/4.
Questions - how much for a decent 21/4 petrol? May have a runner for £100 but still in a chassis - not removed one before - how hard is it to do??? Anyone near North Yorkshire moors willing to help for beer tokens?
Will probably get a local garage to fit - any idea for the time a garage would take (just so I can get an idea on costs - was told by the "landrover man" to expect about £300.
I don't want some silly cow to kill a good 109 because she thought it was like owning a fecking Nissan Micra.
Thoughts , advice or abuse please!
