Right well, after that astonishing response how about a price reduction to £185 - or offers... It's still on the road, and I may keep it legally so until the end of July.

I bought a replacement washer pump from one of the on-line 'find a part' services (PartsGateway I think it was - I would have to look it up) for £25 delivered a few months ago.

I do believe that some sites do cross post from, say, a forum, to Facebook and I suspect with the intention of directing traffic back to the forum - which may, like the MSC, have some paid for options, so just getting extra traffic may well increase the income, and why not... Personally, as...

It would seem that while old very good condition cars may sell, anything which needs work won't. Mine sounds a lot better than yours but I've not had an offer at all - asking £250 - so I think you would be very lucky to get any offer at all. In my case I'll persevere a little longer - drop the...

I was going to adjust the tension on my water pump belt this weekend...but the Haynes manual has it that there are two things to undo: the idler pulley securing bolt - which is just at the end of the idler pulley - and the adjusting screw. What the manual says is to loosen the idler securing...

Well, I've done my bit - I'm just waiting for someone to buy my K11 - I dare say the price will drop shortly

Nobody ? The leak is just above the pump : and the clip is - this is actually on the hose that leads to the cooler It doesn't seem to be a simple crimp, almost a clip type and I'm a bit reluctant to remove it until I've got a replacement (and some more fluid) ready but I suspect that...

Indeed, but just like you it seems such a waste of many good components, especially the engine - so no harm in trying..

I'm in west Wales - which doesn't help with the potential buyers I suspect And now I see another for sale - better condition than mine, long MOT and the same price! It's a lot more difficult selling cars than buying them ...

Well...just out of interest my K11 add 'repairs or spares' that I put in on Friday hasn't had any interest - not quite the same as yours but in the same area...

I'd start with Parcel2Go.co.uk put in your requirements and you should get a quote or several - they aggregate a lot of couriers and if it's too big or heavy it would get put out to a couple of specialist aggregators - I'm just using someone from anyvan.co.uk

On this new K11 - which is still off-road - I noticed a leak on the pipe junction between the flexible hose and the pump for the power steering fluid. It doesn't look a major one, but under pressure it obviously has been sprinkling fluid onto the pulley and spraying it over that end of the...

Don't worry about it...it was a rather long post so I can understand giving up before the end. But, bearing in mind it is a car with a few bumps and scrapes I felt that it was better to be honest and point them out and bearing in mind where I am it's not fair to get people out here and then they...

As promised here are some photos: from the good side to the not so good side there is fibreglass over the plastic boot thing (which hold the number plate lights) both mountings had broken and without a lot of work that seemed the best solution and also I hoped that it would fix the odd water...

Sorry - do you mean that the starter motor runs, engages with the engine (makes a clunk) but doesn't actually turn the engine over - or that the engine does turn over but doesn't fire up ? If it's the first then it could be the problem that I had recently - although I'm not too sure why it would...
