looks nice from pics, is the paint a bit dull or badly resprayed? I'd have it this time next year!

It was up for sale a couple of weeks ago in Pembroke, the seller wanted 4k. I did have a look………. just saying probably best to check it over before buying.

Not heard of that gearbox fix before. Which 'rod underneath' needs tightening?

It's bull sxxt TP from someone just trying to sell a car. The problem is most who will be looking at buying one will know about the common problem.

I was told that it was just down to the clutch that needed bleeding…… rust was no stranger, no service history beyond 30k ish (though “regularly serviced by ATS”), ball on towbar quite worn (“hardly done any towing”), rear diff actuator not working, etc., etc. I could be misjudging it, but it seemed rather tired for the mileage and needed a lot of work. My little voice said walk away, so I did. The new seller has replaced the tyres (a varied selection of well worn cheapies on when I saw it) and got through a fair bit of cutting compound by the looks of it.
