**** Little update ***

Started work again on the car on my own and got a bit done. Alternator, power steering pump, coil packs, carbon filter, most of the water pipe works, header tanks etc. I managed to remove the backbox and centre section and then some very helpful mates turned up :thumb:

After that the ECU went and then the hard part. The turbo !! And as bloody usual, one bolt refused to come off :brickwall:brickwall:brickwall
Anyway it was nearly dark and in fact the last bolt came off in total darkness with a light to guide us. But finally the downpipe and turbo are off :thumb:

Will take pictures of those parts not sold and off now and will post up a bit on the turbo for all those interested in it

The turbo is in very good condition and it was me that helped remove it. It has absolutely no movement in the shaft and it certainly didn't smoke :) Sadly a few bolts in the up pipe died in the process of removing it though :lol1:

I will have the dimmer switch if you have still got it, I will pick it up if thats OK with you.

:lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:

Is it okay if I only tell you when you drive all the way down, that it has been sold :D

Did you get any of the bits off? Want a hand? :)

Got loads of stuff off mate :thumb:

Well giving me a hand is entirely up to you but I must warn you after the alternator episode, you might want to steer clear of me and cars :lol1:

wow swiss I'm loving those car mats and the boot mat, what kind of deal could you do for the whole lot?

Also my petrol cap flap won't open via the mechanism in the car. Apparently I need a spring or something. Could you take a picture so I can see what part I need then if you have it sell it to me?/

Thank you :D:thumb:

They are nice aren't they :D
I can sell the whole lot for £120 + courier of £10
Best to use courier like fed-ex or DHL with the postal strikes

I can also take a picture of the fuel filler cap when I get the chance :thumb:

Door cards, power steering pump, side lights and side skirts are being sent today :thumb:

Pictures of turbo coming up soon

And various other parts that are still up for grabs :thumb:

cool

Hey Swiss, do you still have the hard pipe that runs from the fuel filler to the tank? What sort of condition is it in?

First time I have been able to get web access today :mad:

Which pipe do you mean ??
SHow me a picture and I might be able to help

My other half says no to the mats :(

Says I will only get bubble gum or dog doo doo on them judging by my past experience. Suppose he has a point. Gotta stick with my £14.99 ones. :Whatever_

No rush on the fuel filler flappy thing. I've managed with my bit of cardboard for this long. Would like to get it sorted though so may give you gentle reminders lol. :D:thumb:

:lol1::lol1::lol1:

Shame, they are great :thumb:

OK, having re-read that I see why you have no idea what I'm on about! Sorry!

Here's a pic...drivers side rear wheel arch...

Havent got a clue what condition it is in, never knew I had one :)
I assume it is tucked away behind a cover ??
If so I will have to remove the back wheel to have a look

Back to the top...........for a worthy cause.

Hope you get the revenue you require for your next project, looking forward to seeing what it is.

Afraid so, small little plastic cover with 3 10mm (iirc) bolts...

will have a look either this afternoon or saturday:thumb:

Thanks chap. Don't worry if it's loads of hassle.


Been meaning to say, my days feel much longer not hearing the old 'flat four alarm clock' at the end to remind me to go home! :(

sigma m30
 

hi there anthony here green scooby red flaps lol
do you have the sigma m30 box thats if you had a sigma alarm:thumb:

Anthony
Sorry mate, I have a clifford alarm on the car fitted after I got the car so no good to you.

Sorry guys, been dying on the sofa with man flu !! Have not had the chance to really take any more parts off the scoob or ship out stuff, but hopefully feeling a little bit better today so will start packing up stuff again and sending it out.

Adding more stuff later but there are updates on the first page :thumb:

Any news on the downpipe mate?

Yep, being welded tonight so should be able to send it off very soon mate :thumb:

A few more items are being added when I take photos etc :thumb:

Don't suppose you had a chance to take pictures of the petrol flap so I can see what part I'm missing?

Went to the petrol station last night and had to ask the assistant to pull my lever whilst I opened my flap:lol1:!

Its embarrasing :lol1:

Here are the pictures

In this first pic you see the white button that if you press you can hear the mechanical noise of the switch being depressed by the drivers front seat. If that is not working then you have no hope

Then the actual latch itself

Hope that helps :thumb:

Now tell your other half to shruuupppp and buy my mats :D

Awww Swiss you are a star, thank you sooooo much :D

Ok the white thing goes in and out so the switch thing works in the car, it just doesn't flick it open. Will check mine tonight see whats missing.

I kept trying with the mats but hes just bought me a lovely red dress for xmas so I'm happy now :D
