BC Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 £ 42.99 plus Vat - total £ 51.58 ...which was good I thought for it multiple uses Barry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Do the two outer parts fold the other way too Bill? (so you get a flat "bench", without the hinge pointing up and being in the way of putting a flat board on the top) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I don't think so Barry since well I thought that would have been better. I've left it at the folks so I can access dads garage loft easier than moving his car and taking one half of two heavy wooden ladders on the other side of the garage wall. There is a heap of old stuff I put up there last February when we had to clear out a shed that had to be moved at a friends farm. I intend to take some it to a vintage roup in August. I know for a fact I have a TEF 20 gear box with broken 3rd gear cog up there and a fergie drawbar.It will probably be next Sunday before I'm back that way but I will try and see if it can be set up with the hinge down. Would be better for bench purposes. Just a thought if it does not Barry and you have some joinery skills you could get two pieces of wood say 2 inches wide x 3 inches high and then cut out a half moon to sit over the hinge and then screw a sheet of flooring chipboard on top.

Hi pal, it's quite nippy, could probably make it a bit faster with a service... the clock says 44k but it could be 2nd or 3rd time around. the aim is to make some quick cash on it, so either get it through an MOT and flog it or just break it/weigh it in... the large puddle is from where i ran over the brake cleaner container.... (that'll be another £20 spent at parkers) and the other puddles are brake fluid and gearbox oil from the dreaded Corsa C clutch change i became involved with last week... don't need any more transplant projects, i've got a 1977 clubman estate half way through a vauxhall c20xe redtop transplant, which is costing me far too much £ hence the need to make some wonga on the fiasco, i mean fiesta.

AlexMF Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) i think it's got the 58 part... just bought a full lock set for the above car, shall we say that some undesirables have rendered access to the boot, fuel tank and ignition near impossible... another £50, however have found means to obtain service items without paying so that will reduce the budget! current score is that i'm £100 in and no closer to an MOT! oh also attempted to replace the passenger side mirror glass, broke the new one too.

BC Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 A new washing machine. Last one was only bought end of July 2010 but programs and spins went mad last week. Took it back to Costco and got full refund. They didn't have a model I wanted on Friday but they had ones in today. Lets hope it lasts longer than the last two but heck why should I care went Costco have effectively these lifetime guarantees. Now then that Karcher power washer of mine is getting a bit old and pump is "hunting" when not spraying water..maybe it will be my next return ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The Fiesta registration is probably worth more that the vehicle and if you put a decimal point between the 5's the hp would be about right! My latest purchase was a nice complete and as new astronomical refractor telescope in my local charity shop for £19.50 just had to have it at that price. Won't be looking at the stars here tonight though, grey overcast sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 There are a few valuation sites if you google 'vehicle registration values' that will give you a rough estimate of its worth, you type in the registration and wait a second for the answer. I think that there are links on the site to those that buy and sell registrations and the DVLA site will give you more info on how you go about it and the legalities. Be wary though of the fact that there may be some hidden things such as commission and other fees but if you are seriously considering selling it, get an accurate valuation by asking or searching around as some 'dealers' could be like these 'sell your gold' cowboy firms that advertise on tv, give you around a tenth of what it's actually worth.
