Get another S3

For Ã‚Â£155??? Then there's the issue of it needing to be on the drive, which will NOT keep SWMBO happy. At least with an SJ (that moves) I can use it and keep it at work.

Just over an hour to go now. :twisted:

I say sod it, buy it and get it up to LQ and have some fun :D

These are great for off roading in, and cheap to maintain and repair, the series will wait just a while longer :lol:

Well ????

Did you get it?

muddyweb · « **Reply #33 on:** April 01, 2005, 16:17:17 »

Don't do it Pete...

I've just read the description... you need to put a new clutch in it before you can even use it :shock:

xmob · « **Reply #34 on:** April 01, 2005, 16:19:00 »

Clutch isn't a problem, remember where I work and what we use as fleet vehicles. Can be done in about 2 hours. :D

Fifteen minutes to go. Somebody keep me occupied with something...

Andy. · « **Reply #35 on:** April 01, 2005, 16:20:06 »

Buy it and plaster it with Mud Club stickers :lol:

muddyweb · « **Reply #36 on:** April 01, 2005, 16:24:30 »

He'll need to Andy... the amount of rot in the bodyshell, it will fall off otherwise !

There are others on there Pete... just need a bit of engine TLC... much better condition

muddyweb · « **Reply #37 on:** April 01, 2005, 16:31:56 »

Incidentally, aside from the fact that it is currently not "as one"... what's wrong with the Series ?

xmob · « **Reply #38 on:** April 01, 2005, 16:35:15 »

I bottled it! Pat on the back for Pete. Still feeling like I've let myself down though.

The Series ideally needs a new chassis, other than that (and a set of springs), it just needs putting back together.

I have a good as new rear half chassis (including middle crossmember), but I don't really have the means to line it up properly. My welding is competent enough, just not able to line up two halves of chassis on a (once) grass drive.

muddyweb · « **Reply #39 on:** April 01, 2005, 16:40:57 »

Well then.... I happen to know a man with a reasonable Series 3 chassis who would be happy to part with it for a lot less than Ã‚Â£155 ;-)

Not a million miles from you either..

xmob · « **Reply #40 on:** April 01, 2005, 16:43:38 »

I presume you know how to use PM. :D

C'mon, now you've got me excited. Don't tell me it's a 109" one either.

NiceBlueWellies · « **Reply #41 on:** April 01, 2005, 17:24:22 »

Well done for not buying that heap.

You'll not regret it, especially when you see your SIII all spruced up! :D

tenpolequint · « **Reply #42 on:** April 01, 2005, 17:29:04 »

I would never be allowed to have a dismantled vehicle like that in the back garden.

NiceBlueWellies · « **Reply #43 on:** April 01, 2005, 17:32:46 »

Now that I would allow - but it would never make it back through the house to the road once in one piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :? :?

Here here, Ã‚Â£155????
Ebay, the most expensive place in the world for complete s***e. Oh, hang on, it wasn't even complete!! :shock:

Pete

Just found this thread,

obviously I've been paying attention guys, .................... :oops:

If you still want a rag top SJ410

one of the lad's that's coming with us to Langdale on Sunday has one sat on the drive with no T & T etc..., all the obvious extra's, mud, rust, holes everywhere, run's and rattles (occaisional'y) like a bag of knac$$rs.

So, if your'e still up for the challenge............ I'll introduce you.

The obligaratory fee will apply of course (either 10% of sale or a cup of coffee). Coffee will be great (85p, probably best end of deal)

Se ya at the weekend

Dave

xmob · « **Reply #48 on:** April 05, 2005, 00:46:14 »

Weeeelllllll...

A would still like a rag top to play with while Thora the Series 3 is being sorted. But Thora might be sorted quicker than expected thanks to this thread. :D

I'll speak to y'all on Sunday. I'll buy you a coffee anyway. :D

robbie · « **Reply #49 on:** April 05, 2005, 22:30:13 »

erm, might be a simple question, but if you dont realy want an SJ.... why on earth was you looking on eBay for one in the first place then

xmob · « **Reply #50 on:** April 05, 2005, 23:07:14 »

Many moons ago, I wanted an SJ because I couldn't afford a Landie. Then my uncle sold me a Series 3. Turned out to be a lemon.

Still, I fell in love with Thora and vowed to get her back to health. My missus HATES me using her Disco off road, so I was looking for a toy to use until Thora is fixed. An SJ was/is ideal as they're cheap and we use them at LQ.

IF a usable one comes up at a sensible price, I'll still buy one. :D

robbie · « **Reply #51 on:** April 06, 2005, 07:50:40 »

aahh, OK then, that makes sense......

I will keep my eyes open for you and let you know if I see something

How could you possibly mistake a lemon for a Series 3 :roll:

I say ... forget the SJ and get on with the restoration! but then, it's easy to say, isn't it :lol:

Well, do what my children do ... find the nearest muddy puddle and jump in it as many times as possible :lol: Oh, and if you can't find a muddy puddle, make your own by filling a bucket with water from the outside tap and pouring it over the nearest mud :roll: :lol:

By the way, what is a "Langdale Quest Patrol Driver"?
