rover 25 gti breaking

[thamestyres]

don't know if this is of any use to some of you, the car was running but the block is damaged and is mixing the oil and water in the sump it is deffo not hgf is more serious so i have decided to break it up. i have already sold the wheels and seats, i think the head is spoken for have got to check this out to confirm.
anyone wanting anything should pm me or call me at work (01753 571199) as the car is there. i am not money orientated so make me an offer and i will say yes or no. we all know what parts are worth and i'm only looking to cover the costs/enough to make it worthwhile to strip. this will need to be within two weeks any parts not sold will be left on the car and scrapped, although i have a lot of space we are having a big clearout because we are getting very cluttered.. regards ricky

By gti bubble, do you mean a 25 Gti? If so, let me know if the other person doesn't confirm and the head becomes available, I'll have it.

[thamestyres]

sorry i wrote it out on the spur of the moment, the title has been changed, the car is red it was a vvc which was all working,
will bear in mind the head for you bracken fox.
when i drove the car there were no noises from the gearbox or running gear, exhaust sounded nice with no blows, and has a chrome tailpipe, i don't know if this is std or not yet.
doors are ok front end is ok rear is ok
interior was near mint half leather which is why it is going into my dads 25, regards ricky

I take it this is the troublesome one you couldn't get to the bottom of? I'm sure I can muster a trip down to Slough and have a scavenge for parts off it!

[R25tubz]

How much rear disc hubs,carriers and calipers posted mate? I'm not sure what money they fetch.

[thamestyres]

stef you are more than welcome

please everyone after parts make an offer for what you want if i set a price it will be more than you will offer.

r25tubz it has all those parts on it so make an offer.

if anyone is local to slough please come down and take off what you need or we will take off what you need while you are here.... regards ricky

rear anti roll bar

[thamestyres]

it doesn't have a rear anti roll bar, but i do have a maestro axle that looks the same with an anti roll bar on, i will try to get it off and try it on the rover axle £20 plus postage if thats any good. or you could come and collect it. if you collect it in the car, we will fit it for you should only take 5mins won't cost any extra... regards ricky

[_BILLY_ZR_]

dam they are 14mm - Maestro/Montego ones and i was looking for the thicker brm/vi ones 18mm they still fit tho

are they available the c277/c160 and c15/c274 connectors along with a few cms of wire..?
( connector coding according to rave <2001 for rover 200 )

A lot of connectors are very different in the 25 compared to the 200 bubble, and connectors that are the same often have very different wiring going through them in my experience.

Those codes are pretty useless without the full version of RAVE, easier if you explain what they are

[thamestyres]

just so that everyone knows i am on hoiday from tomorrow we have not stripped very much as we have been flat out busy, which is apparently good. so some more will be stripped while i am away and the rest will be sorted when i come back from the 13th onwards, regards ricky

they are the round two pin connectors, that connect to the radiator fan..and if the car has a/c there is a double pair of these connectors..if there is no a/c on it is a single pair of these connectors..
if i m allowed i can upload a screenshot from rave no expiry <2001 for 200 bubble..

[stefaclese]

25/ZR's don't have that, the rad fan has the wiring incorporated in to the car loom, only 200 bubble shapes and late K series Cabriolets, Coupes and Tourers would have what you need.

Typical that I read this after getting back from the scrappers, could've gotten more than you know what to do with

[SammyP]

Ill take the handbrake cables if theyre available and in a passable condition?

I'm still waiting for a price on all the rear brake parts for my rear disc conversion

[thamestyres]

i am back off holiday now.. a lot of the car has been stripped so if anyone else wants anything now is your chance, the shell will be gone by the end of the week. it is bright red, body panels?
stef if you want some bits and bobs you need to be quick. i can stay late for you if you want, but need to know... regards ricky

[stefaclese]

Lol, I was about to drop you a message! Whens it going, would it be too late if I came over at the weekend?

[carl747]

A reply to PM sent please

[chiefgilray]

If its a PG-1 gearbox, could I have the speed sensor off the gearbox? how much with postage to aberdeen?

Thanks

[thamestyres]

guessing on the postage via parcel force about £15 posted can be paid via paypal etc let me know.. regards ricky

[stefaclese]

Silly me!

[thamestyres]

that is part and postage or is that to much? regards ricky

[stefaclese]

Oh right, thought you mean't £15 postage for a little sensor! Ignore me

[mg-richard]

If your too lazy to go to a breakers and want one removing and posting, your gonna have to pay for it. £15 is fair

sorry to spam

[chiefgilray]
