Well done Nick. I knew you wouldn't scrap it!

Pity we're not local as I would take this off your hands but someone will get a bargain.

Hi there,

Possibly interested in this for my folks. My Mum has always loved these, but my Dad prefers his VW's........

Couple of questions if that's OK.

Does the car have heated seats.. (passenger side working, Mum does not drive )
You mention the heater matrix needs replacing. No heat at all, or on the way out?

Thanks again.

Dave

It has front and rear heated seats and they're the best I've ever known.

I think the heater matrix works a bit, I think it's just on its way out.

Can I just make sure you intend to fix the ABS pump and SRS unit before letting them drive it in earnest?

That would be the plan.
Don't want the inheritance for a good few years yet.

You mentioned part numbers. Do you have them to hand?

Would pm you, but do not have enough posts yet.

Thanks again.

Apologies, going to have to be a no from me.
Mum was interested, but Dad made it clear it was as a No. (no taste )

Hope someone is willing to save this from the scrap heap in the sky.

Cheers

I'm trying to find this a new home, but not with me unfortunately.
Give it as long as you can before you frag it Nick.
