That's what it should say on the auction...

click here

Someone could get a bargain there, pipes clearly need doing but otherwise sounds like an easy fix. And with that description there aren't going to be hundreds of bids flooding in...

...and at least 40,000 miles left on the cam belt! Most of us wouldn't let a car run for more than 36,000 and some are even more careful!

That'd be me then! Every 10k in the valver, every 12k in the TD....

Still £10 for a belt and an hours work is easier and cheaper than an engine rebuild...! :D
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

You can change one in an hour!!?? Took me about 6 hours last time (mind you at least 4 of those were spent sweating over the crank pulley bolt...)

Crank pulley bolts....no problem, 15' scaffold tube! :D
