Breaking 340 GLE saloon

Post by **fume** » 14 Apr 2007 08:44 am

I will be breaking my 1.7 GLE saloon over the next couple of weeks. At the moment the car is complete so if anybody wants anything let me know. The car has a full leather interior which is in good condition it would be a shame if it was scrapped with it in, but i think it only fits a saloon. If someone wants it i don't want alot for it, i just don't want to see it wasted.
There is too much to list at the moment, but once the car has gone i will list on here the bits i have kept.

Do I remember you having full gauges in that too? Might have been getting confused though.. Possible keen if so.

Has anyone done a saloon to hatch onversion for leather? I remember someone was going to, but I think in the end found someone with a saloon owner with a rear hatch seat and did a swap.

EDIT: Does have gauges

Does it have the ones by the gearstick as well? Definately keen for those if you have, possibly for the econ/amb temp.

Also keen for the choke cable bracket from the carb (as I think you have a solex!), the thermostat housing (3 bolts, just under the dizzy) and the engine lifting hook next to the dizzy.

There might well be some other stuff too... I'll just go out and have a look!

Al temporarily had a saloon rear seat in his hatch, until the swap was done with Steve. I can't see how it would have been fitted properly, more likely wedged in place, as the bottom pivot arms are missing. Probably not impossible to sort something on some angle brackets for the base. But then there are no arms at the top for the folding mechanisms.

Full leather interior sounds good, my seats aren't in good condition at all.

It does have the econ and temp gauge. The temp gauge works fine but i'm not sure the econ gauge is any good. Needle is slow to move, possibly gunged up. It doesn't have the centre gauges though.
The drivers seat has a small amount of wear on the edge by the seatbelt but apart from that it is very good. I don't think the backseats have ever been used!

Germ, as I have a set in both my cars, and a spare amb/gearchange light, I'll let you take them if I can still get my engine bits!

The econ gauge may be redeemable with some cleaning to the gauze at the back of the gauge where the pipe connects, Foggy has details on it somewhere on V3M, have a search!

Is the radiator ok? If so, how much for it, might actually be able to sell my car if it had a non-leaking rad as nobody interested in it otherwise!
Thanks.
