beast 1,884 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 tata pick up which i got for 500 quid as a filler. engine was ok 2.0 diesel from peugeot, everything else about it was crap. driving through bridgewater somerset one day the accelerator pedal fell off, took about 6 inch square of the floor with it. managed to tiiiie it back with an old coat hanger to get me back to weston where i was staying. leak somewhere round the bulkhead so the footwell would literally fill with water when it rained. loads of other issues. kept it about 6 months but refused to spend any money on it, so that went for scrap.

cragman 2,841 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Reliant robin shared between four of us. Finally wrote it off taking about ten people in it to the pub one dinner. We turned it over on a corner and got out and left it where it was! Two hours later we returned for it and it was still there, on its side. I think it ended up in the canal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
