£269
How much are rear props? It's adding up this
I'm seeing £269 now.
Second hand prices are reasonable, but the VCU will need to be refurbished. It could be the IRD is on its way out, which is the normal reason the propshafts are removed. If it's for fuel economy, when someone isn't being honest.

Thanks Nodge68. So what starts out as a £200 bargain quickly loses its shine. Still...It's MOTd until September so has some pluses going for it.

This is often the case. However if the body and interior are immaculate, then it's often rewarding to replace the duff mechanicals. The body and interior are two important considerations, as these affect both it's long-term usefulness and value. All mechanical components can be replaced, but a body can't and interior components are expensive if still available.

It's only got cloth interior but it's in good condition from what I've seen. No tears or the likes. Exterior looks tidy too...though there was a mention of a rust advisory on a previous MOT...nothing since except the usual suspects.

I'd avoid any FL1 with serious rust underneath. There are plenty out there with nothing more than slight surface rust. Heavy rust is a long term disaster imo

I think it was just a comment about there being a bit of surface rust
