i`m packing in.
i do less than 5 miles most days and usually that is on the electric bike.
time to pack it in and lose the rexton.
looking at an 02 golf estate pd130
any good?
cheers.
-
Sadly makes sense.
Rexton is a good vehicle.
I had the PD130 in a Passat and it was a lot of fun. Beware cambelt change though, you have to take the whole front of the car off. And look out for water leaks into front footwells.
-
cheers mate. turns out it was a pd100.
i have been offered a BMW 320d 05 plate as a straight swap for the rexton.
just checking insurance.
-
just bought/swapped a 2006 bora for the rexton and a few quid.
body work tatty at the moment but i`ll wrap it to sort that.
PD100 with PD130 turbo and injectors with about 180 brake, six speed box and launch control with a map by Simon Allen.
so slightly modified.
its a highline too with full leather, cruise and heated seats ect
i have a few (3) possibly tam 105 pumps, 2 x 210L steel drums and a dieselmate up for grabs.
offers.
cheers

Hi Ged,
Someone was looking for a TAM105 on the other channel (can't remember who coz I'm old and forget things).
-
hi james,
point them this way mate.
i`ll check the pumps tomorrow and take pics.
hope all`s well down there mate.
-
Ok, I'll put post on the other channel for you.
All's well here thanks, how about your end?
-
working like mad delivering mate (for OCADO)
been there 2 years now, good easy job and good money and fixed late shifts.
took a 3 month break to nurse mum as she had throat cancer and lost her at the back end of last year so gone back to volunteering in school to fill up my time during day mate.
lucky during lockdown that i can get out. we cover from lancaster down to bangor and over to accrington so different scenery every day.
Daughter is working as an undertaker during the lockdown and is studying to be a forensic pathologist at uni.
so all in all, everythings good mate. 8)
will try make next years BBB as Lynda keeps shouting at me! ;D
simon allen is collecting the rexton on the 8th so its possible to move the pumps south to telford then..
-
Sorry to hear about your mum Ged! My condolences.
-
thanks mate. 8)
-
I'm sure the condolences are shared by everyone on here
-
thanks james.
-
Any replies/response from the post on VOD?
-
not yet mate. i`m too far over to be on anyones collection route i think.
no bother, ill skip the dieselmate but the pumps can stay in the shed.
-
yeah sorry to hear about your mum Ged. and don't bin anything yet because I just bumped Jim's tam thread on VOD
-
cheers chug. the tips are manic up here so ill wait a few days mate
-
Is the dieselmate one of those proper noisy vane pumps? If so I could definitely do with a spare, I use one for 1u filtering my final fuel into 25l drums. And another would be useful for transfer when I don't want to pollute my 1u filter.
-
its one of these mate.

i do have a self priming vane pump too, but the wiring needs attention.
-
Oh, that's completely different from what I pictured. Going to say no to that one, but if you have a vane pump that needs some love and we can figure out a way to get it vaguely travelling down south then I'd definitely take that off you, thanks.
-
well, simon allen came up today and collected the rexton.
first time without a 4x4 in about 20 years and first time with no vegger for 10 years.
cant get used to my arse being so close to the floor and i still have veg in the shed.
weird
-
Ged, If you still got any tam 105's I'd like one please geez, its just a matter of getting it.
-
i`ll put the best one aside for you mate. i may be heading to shropshire next month.
-
Can you put the 2nd best one aside for me please Geds. If no one is crossing the pennines I may have to pay you for the postage as well as the pump. Cheers.
-
will do. gettin there tomorrow and sunday, will be strange to have a shed again.
-
i hope you two aint in a hurry.
opened the shed today to find a wasp nest hanging from the ceiling and a load of effing pissed off wasps....
i cant half run for a fat bloke.
-
Ha Ha, anytime will do for me Geds.
