Bought myself a lovely K11 1.3 today (pics to follow when I can borrow a camera - but its dark metallic grey-purple, L reg, and goes like a rocket!) so I'm selling my K10.
J reg, 1L, 3 door. 102k. Tax til end January, MOT til early August.
The good bits :k12white:
Has been very reliable, starts first time whatever the weather. Previous owner said same.
Bodywork good, hardly any rust (apart from a small bubbly patch on one front wheel arch, and a few stone chips)
Engine very good. Pulls well, is quiet, and uses hardly any oil. No smoke or untoward noises.
New cambelt Sept last year. Tensioners and camshaft end seal were checked and OK.
New clutch and front brake pads April last year
2 almost new Vredestein front tyres (£84) - probably only done around 500 miles. Car handles amazingly round corners since this was done.
New spark plugs, air and fuel filter, carb linkages serviced and some new hoses on carb. Oil/filter changed September.
Antifreeze changed recently.
New Bosch wiper blades.
Fresh pink screenwash
All electrics working.
Interior good for its age.
Stereo - Shark radio cassette 18 months old, 50w Pioneer speakers.
The garage said it was in good condition and unlikely to need much doing for the next MOT.
Bad bits!
Gearbox noisy in first, reverse and neutral. Gears feel a bit 'clonky' especially getting into first, but it still drives ok. Long-term, its going to need replacing/overhauling, but the garage said it could go on like it is for months, so long as it wasnt hammered.
Drivers door hinge has dropped a bit, so the door has to be slammed harder than usual.
Not great on petrol (possibly because it rarely gets into 4th gear the way I drive it around town)
Drivers window seal a bit loose.
Aerial comes apart if you pull it (why do blokes always do that eh?!) and radio has crackled occasionally since then.
Am selling as I wanted something with more oomph for the motorway, and I don't know how to fix gearboxes! I'm going to be advertising it locally for around £300 (what I paid for it in August, have spent £250ish on it since then) but if anyone wants to come and have a look at it first email me cathlewis at blueyonder.co.uk. Would be great to see it pimped!
