Help! URGENT.

Post by Bob » 04 Nov 2006 01:22 pm

A long shot but here goes,

A couple of weeks ago I brought a 340 1.7 GLE of ebay. I live in Birmingham and the car is in Bognor Regis. I brought it with no MOT (very cheap).

Got down to have a look with the intention on driving it back. The car needs a great deal of TLC but has got a number of bits worth having.

Let the problems begin...............................

The car won't start and I have not the know how to sort that out.

A friend does have a flat bed trailer so I could get the whole car back but it is going to cost a small fortune in fuel, and time to do this.

I now have the reg. document so it is mine to do with as I please and therefore on my back to shift it.

The bottom line is this, the car has a set of alloys and a six clock dash which I'm interested in but.........................

So is there anybody in the Bognor Regis area who wan'ts a car for free.

I have the reg. doument and the key to prove its mine all you would have to do is pick it up or indeed get it started.

Its a pity I have to let the good bits go but I should have thought this through a bit more :oops:

If anybody can help or offer alternative ideas could you send me a PM please.

Thanks for your time.

Bob.

I might have a plan for you, give me couple of days. What colour is it and have you any idea of why it won't start. Will it turn over on the starter and no sign of firing or not even turn over?

Thanks.

The car is a 5 door 1.7 340 GLS. Body colour is blue. The body is rough unless you have time and the skills. Its got a set of non-discript 5 spock alloys with good tyres. Inside its good with leather heated seats, electric windows etc.

The car turned over and fuel did apper to be getting were it should. It just would not fire. All it did was back fire big time.

If you want the car (or bits) its yours. I would have liked the alloys at least but its not fair to mess you or who ever wants the car around like that.

If you can come up with something then great. Just send a PM if you like to sort out the documentation etc.

Thanks for the reply.

Bob.
