I collected a 300tdi 110 from County cork about 6 weeks ago but after registering, MOTing and driving for a while realised it was a bit too nice for what the kids and I needed. I wanted a sound defender to take on Salisbury plain and do some greenlaning trips, they want something they can climb all over and use to prepare for the zombie apocalypse.
So, the 110 is off to a new home next week and I have bought a 200tdi 90 to replace it. Galvanised chassis, lifted, new tyres etc but had been stood since August, starter motor was stuck and the clutch was not working. No MOT or tax either. Luckily I had the perfect vehicle to collect it with.
Sorted the jammed starter, sorted the clutch (slave cylinder) and it has been for MOT today. Didn't pass but only a wheel bearing and fog light tell-tale to fix which I think is great.
Just need to work out what axle I have at the rear and I will hopefully have that sorted and it will be on the road within a week.
