Re: Owners - talk to me, tell me
We bought ours with no service history, sadly there are very very few that have had anything like enough attention to them.Comment

Nah it wouldn't necessarily put me off, but at 9500 including my part ex car, it is a bit premium really.Comment

Re: Owners - talk to me, tell me
Ouch. We paid just under that (though without the dealer back up) when it was 30c last summer - Crossblade weather, when the prices are normally highest.Originally posted by swissheavy View PostComment

Re: Owners - talk to me, tell me
Yeah summer I imagine to be the best time to sell. It was glorious sunny weather yesterday, perfect for getting a feel for whether it's the right move. Definitely interested, but not going to rip myself off!Comment

Re: Owners - talk to me, tell me
A couple more questions guys.
Regarding insurance, I would probably slap my NCB on the Crossblade, leaving me with no NCB for my everyday car. Admiral seems to be the best place for this looking at their multi-car policy, anyone have any better suggestions.
Also, the garage I have is not heated, will this be a problem in the long run? I know it's a car and should be fine, but I am just wondering.Comment

Re: Owners - talk to me, tell me
About this issue- are there any tips other than making sure the mechanism is well greased?Check and maintain (at all costs) both the door bar latch mechanisms, if they jam with the bar down you've got big issues. .Comment

Re: Owners - talk to me, tell me
On mine I took out the plastic sleeves that appear to be there just to stop them rattling. Anything gets into them and it jams. The pic shows mine in pieces, there's also a spring that is inside the main part of the latch, and that's held in place by a screw on cap (you can see where it threads onto). When undoing that thread, put a thin wire nail through the hole in the "plunger" to stop it all springing off at high speed! The sleeve fits on the plunger (the part on the right) below the white washer. It's a VERY tight fit and the sleeve I took out from both sides are badly scored, and the shavings get into the mechanism.Originally posted by svalkein View Post
Oh and if you take it apart, make sure they work before you lower the bar (I tell you this from experience :censor
It is very easy to put the handle end of the mechanism in the wrong way and then the handle doesn't work (as it's pushing on the cable instead of pulling it)
I would add that you do this job at your own risk, don't take my word as gospel!Last edited by J500ANT; 21-03-11, 11:32 PM.Comment
