Just picked her up

[George C]

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.

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

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

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

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

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

[BoxCleva]

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

[jason]

I thought that, but it looks good in the flesh

[BoxCleva]

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

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