The CHAV'SCORT Has Risen from the Grave !!!

its probably not a hydraulic clutch so there may be some slack adjustment in the cable

Yep, Pretty sure it's cable-driven clutch.  I'll (have) to investigate this w/e.

[Roadkill]

(Quite possibly one of the final) UPDATE(s)

She's now on nearly 153,500 miles . . . .

Clutch is still bad (I haven't had time to have a proper look but it does appear it's non-adjustable beyond what's already there).

Side lights do not work.  Only headlights.

Tailights don't work.  Not sure if they're intermitent or what but they didn't work when I was coming back from the Cinema on Tuesday - That's for sure.

Rear screen heater / wiper rarely work now as does(n't) the boot release.

Front brakes make a gronchy sound under heavy braking but she still stops O.K.

She's leaking oil after the oil change but that could be 'cos I over-filled her a bit.



As from Tomorrow she'll be doing about 60 miles a week plus any w/e driving so will effectively be retiring from a mileage whore and be down-graded to daily hack.

Tax is due at the end of the month, too.

Possible replacement are a '98-'99 Mondeo (diesel ideally) or similar age Peugeot 406 (only the diesel though).

Or I could save up, go nuts, and buy a Jaguar as my mileage is now so low !

Oi!!! What's wrong with with Jags then ??

I of course havew to drive one, cos I live in Sarf Laandan, innit?

if your daily drive is so short, why bother with a nother cheepy... just use the camaro (when its done)?

the cost of keeping another car just for 60m a week would out weigh the cost of driving the 'maro, would it not?

Valid point but the Camaro will be far too lairy to use everyday . . Fully poly-bushed with silly-stiff suspension and tubular everything . . . It'd be hard work.

It was tail happy enough before but after it's done -

Plus, I had thought of that but I do need a general car for :

i) Taking rubbish to the tip,
ii) Hauling tools around,
iii) Taking on long journeys / holidays / days out
iv) Collecting DIY stuff etc

Etc . . .

I suppose a pick-up really would be ideal . . .

I'm sure that Nash is mis-priced . . . . it just seems way too cheap for that.
