Sizzle's sister's BRG 1.8 MGF - 90k miles

[henry21p]

1.8 (non vvc MGF) 90k miles.

 

Selling to get something a little newer and more fuel efficient. Its MOT is due at the end of the month so it was taken early and had an emissions failure (and a couple of little things, which are "d'oh!" muppet things), detailed below. Could well be the cat or simple to fix (bad temp sender etc)

 

Thought it might be of use to someone who feels like fixing it, or as a reasonable donor.

 

He has been offered "scrap" value of £200 notes (essentially just weighing it in) but i'd rather see it be useful to someone.

 

So.. here goes:

Car: MG- MGF

Reg: R

Year MAnufactured: 10.2.1997

Number of owners:6

MOT date: 30.11.2009

5 Months Tax left

 

MOT failing 2009 are:

Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)

Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content at idle excessive (7.3.2c)

Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.2b)

Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.2b)

(possibly just needs a good blast on the motorway as tested on cold wet morning)

Front tyre(s) is incorrect because different size tyres fitted on the same axle. (4.1.A.1a)

Nearside rear tyre depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.D.1)

On ebay here with low starting reserve

 

If anyone wants to make a non ebay offer, give me a shout and I'l relay it. It needs to be sold in the next week to make space for the new car. As a guide, I reckon you could nab it for close to £500...
