lupo_crush Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Make: VW Model: Lupo SDI MOT: 28/11/18 (Fail) TAX: £30 p.y Milage: 105,000 I am sad to have to do this but I am going to have to let my Lupo go as it has failed its MOT today I have attached the list of faults. Other than what is listed the car is in not to bad condition. It is clean and drives well. I am not in the position to break it for parts. If I had the time and space I would fix it myself but this is not an option for me. Location: Salisbury Wiltshire Price: £650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 about £120 in new bits (+ about 4h labour) would fix everything mechanical (not the tyres) and give it another 5 years at least. you don't see many in white. looks nice! it's worth fixing. if only you were closer, I'd sort it for you. In history, SDIs are just about the cheapest cars on the road to run (tax/fuel/insurance). I have two... what the heck is a strut sliding gland. that's a new one to me....! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 If I didn't fear the novichok I would punt in for this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hadn't considered the Novichock.... best to wipe Salisbury off the face of the uk. Could use all the rubble to make a new boris island airport. but seriously, with all the items fixed up, the car is worth about £1500. german exhaust (Ernst) complete system £80 brakes disks and pads (also from germany) £25 pair of hoses £4 each Used shocks from ebay £5 each sorted. i get my parts form these guys: https://www.qp24.de/en-gb you could get the parts and then simply have a small local independent mechanic sort it for you. The work might be £100 cash if you're friendly.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_crush Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Feel free to bring your respirators. 🤢 I would love to fix it up and keep it on the road but the wife is a little less willing than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a huge amount of work and the MOT tester looks a tad sensitive by some of those advisories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good in white. Andrew Andrew I am truly grateful for the last 5 year of fairly trouble free and certainly very cheap motoring. Might have to keep it at this rate. Still no offers.

And we get free parking on a Sunday tyvm. If it helps I am in Amesbury just off the A303. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 How long have you had your SDI? If it's part of the family, you can't just get rid of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 As said by others, such a shame it's in Salisbury, 200 miles unfortunately for me, otherwise I'd be all over this. I need a £30 a year banger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm about to order a bunch of bits from that german supplier (and a complete Ernst exhaust system for my black SDI- basically it's the OEM Vdub system for half the price). 15 euros delivery. If anyone want's I can add to the order, but you'll have to drive to Reading to collect it... same exhaust as needed for this gorgeous white SDI above.
