My Yellow YRV Turbo - Does anyone want it?

Forum: 

Hi guys, some of you may have been following my posts and know the troubles I have been having trying to get her back to 100%.

Due to a very busy work life I don't have the time (or energy) to check everything I need to, and also soon starting a family, so I have to get another (bigger) car anyway. I don't have space and cannot afford to have 2 cars at the same time.

So I am going to probably take it to webuyanycar tomorrow unless someone offers me something for it.

This is a chance to score some good extras:

Tow bar with electrics
Stainless steel exhaust from cat, including the split into both rear pipes, so both are still functional
Iridium Spark plugs
Drilled and slotted brake discs and almost new pads
4 newish tyres that have only done about 1500 miles.
New battery

The car had no advisories on last MOT, but this is due at the end of this month.
Taxed until October 2014

Everything works on the car, all electrics in perfect working order.
The only problem seems to be something like at worst case a blown head gasket or coolant leak somehow into cylinder 1. That being said, I put in radweld plus, and it no longer misfires or idles lumpy - actually seems to be driving perfectly at the moment.

A preliminary check on webuyanycar with all faults included come with a quote of £850 (without towbar and new battery). I expect them to "find" other things when I take it to knock another £150 - £250 off this. If anyone can better £700, the car is yours with all the extras.

Is anyone interested in either the car or buying and swapping their standard parts to upgrade? Either post here or send me a message asap.

Sad... but circumstances sometimes force you.

Wish I could keep the car and fix it, but unfortunately no chance of that Sad

Flumperboy - I am in Ipswich (IP1).

If nobody is interested, I may just remove the towbar and new battery. Pity as there are some good parts that are worth quite a bit.

Yeah getting that way with

Yeah getting that way with mine. Although mine is stuck in my garage these days and not getting used. Only issues I have are a malfunctioning Boost Gauge and off-side rear LED light not working quite right when breaking. When I get the time will look at these but have to admit the ownership part is starting to wear off now I am driving everywhere in my Subaru Impreza Diesel.
