Just picked her up

Hi again all.

Just been to the Cotswolds to buy a W-reg white diesel 2.2dti. £1420 and she seems to be in order. Cruised back to Bristol and have done a bit of country lanes and city streets. All seems well. There's a squeak under one of the rear seats, but that stopped when i gave a friend a lift. At 70-80 on the motorway I could hear a continuous flapping/tapping type noise but I can't figure out where it was coming from. Not too bothered about that, but would like to find out the source somehow.

So it has done 130,000 - what can start to go wrong? It's had a new diesel pump a couple of years ago. What about the cam belt/chain? I've only got MOTs and the odd receipt, so its' really hard to tell. Maybe I'll just enjoy it and look after it... and shut up for a bit.

Anyone want to buy a 1992 Mitsubishi L200 Strada? Beaten up with 190,000 on the dial but solid as a rock?

Back soon.

George.

got any pix of the L200 and rough price?

Sounds a good'n and the main bug bear the pump looks like its been sorted, just dont run out of fuel and it will be fine

Mega Fronty - just emailed you.

many thanx for the email and pix m8y but gonna have to pass money is bit tight at mo and ive just bought another fronty :oh yer:

Hello and welcome

Dose it have a black strip going down the roof and down the bonet,if so it was a good buy,as I was going to buy it,but the other half said no,till I sell the one I got :oops:

Hi Jason - yes, it was. I was quite surprised the bidding stayed that low. I'd deliberately got away from the computer to avoid bidding over my limit and resigned myself to not getting it - so I was quite chuffed when it came in for me. Blind purchase, so I was a bit nervous and don't normally bid on pictures and promises, but pleasantly surprised when I went to get it.

Seems up and together. The dials are a bit squiffy, but there's life in them most of the time, so...

You got a good buy there,It has been looked after,and the most important bit, Its had a new fuel pump :dance:

OK it has the one rust spot,and the usual B problem with the clocks,but its an easy fix :dance:

I think some of the members would like to see a Photo :wink:

I saw that one as well. Wasn't sure about the stripes if I'm honest :oops:

I thought that, but it looks good in the flesh

Think it would look OK on the SWB tbh, just not sure about the LWB. Although stripes do break up the white

Welcome to the forum!!!!!!!

Jason: " the usual B problem with the clocks,but its an easy fix" - I might ask you more about this shortly!
