Mark 1 MR2 T&T & spares - £offers!

Post by Huw »

It's my girlfriend's car - and does start and drive, but has an intermittant fueling problem. :( EDIT: 18/07/07 Appears to now be solved. See posts below. Unfortunately car is no longer insured, so can not guarantee fault cleared as can't take it for an extended test drive, but a quick blat up and down the road threw up no problems. I have left all original text here so interested people can see the full story of the problem - with nothing hidden.

Sometimes it can be absolutely fine, and pulls like a b1tch on heat all the way to the redline - other times it'll pop and fart and not want to go over 50mph. As the missus needs to use it every day to get to work and back, we can't take a chance on it, so it's been replaced by a mark 2 and the mark 1 is for sale as a project or spares/repairs.

It has tax until end of January 2008 and MOT until 8th Sept 2007.

Good points:

Tax and test;
5 dunlop tyres with a good 5mm+ on them (almost £250 worth of tyres);
comes with loads of spares.


Bad points:

Cosmetic rust (see pics);
parking dent;
engine fault. EDIT:18/07/07 fixed! woo-hoo!


For the car on it's own (no tax and no spares) we'd want £150.

For the car, the tax and all the spares £300.

Car's located in Leamington Spa, you're welcome to come along whenever you want to view it. Car isn't insured any more, so no test drive I'm afraid.

Any questions, please either reply on this thread, drop me a PM or e-mail me huwlarsen AT hotmail DOT com and I'll get back to you as soon as poss.

oh - just to say the spares package also includes a Haynes manual for the aw11, but isn't in the photos.

Just to say, I won't sell any of the spares until after the car has sold - but if the car sells without the spares, they'll all be up for grabs at very reasonable prices.

And now for some pics:

I should also mention that it doesn't pop out of gear - so that's another plus. :)

And if there are certain spares people do/don't want, then I sure we could come to an agreement over the price. :thumleft:

Mind if I ask what's putting people off? Thanks.

it does seem a tad expensive, for the fueling problem, it could be your HT leads, also check in the holes that the spark plugs sit in, mine had the same problem and it was oil in the plug holes from a slightly weeping rocker gasket

Fair enough.

If £300 for an MOT'd car with an intermittant problem is a tad expensive, what would you say would be more realistic? £250 - £200 - £150?

I might have a look @ the plugs - but don't really wanna be spending any money on it as it isn't being used.

Ta.

i dunno really, if you could solve the engine fault then it would sell a lot easier, if i was you i would have a look to see if they is oil/ or even rain water down by the plugs, if this is the problem you could probably clean the area up, it it may fix it

it wont cost you anything either

It'll be going on Ebay tomorrow - so am open to just about any offer to avoid the hassle I'll probably get from peeps wanting delivery to outer mongolia, a swap with a nissan micra and a packet of pork scratchings and the rest of the plebs and messers that seem to inhabit Ebay these days!

And if it doesn't sell there, then it's off to the scrapyard with her - scrap prices are pretty strong here ...

Would be a shame to see another mark 1 get crushed just becuase no-one wanted her, but it needs to go, one way or the other.

Man's a genius!

It's a little hard for spark plugs to spark when completely drowned in oil and crap!

Cleared it all out and the car now runs a hell of a lot better (unsuprisingly). I'm suprised the AA man didn't notice it when they came out to recover us ... but I supose you live and learn.

Car still needs to go - and I know it's prob not gonna change things too much, but at least it should help it sell on Ebay if the 2 guys who PM'd me about it don't wanna follow up their interest.

Thanks for the advice.

I've edited to explain the fault is fixed, but left all the original text there so people can see the full story and decide for themselves if they are interested.
