Cavlier MOT

Jan 30, 2005 4 Replies

Hi,



Just had to patch the o/s boot floor of my Cav for it's MOT :-(



Is this likely to be the start of it's demise? It seems fairly sturdy everywhere else.



If it's time to part company, how much is it likely to be worth ('94 (M) V6 hatch). From what I can see on the web, probably less than what I paid for the new wheels that went on it not so long ago.....



Other failure items were a brake pipe (half-expected), rear silencer (fairly obvious) and an anti-roll bar vertical link (broke about 3 days ago). The floor rot's what is bothering me the most.



Cheers,



Iain


Once a car has started rotting away, then there's pretty much nothing you can do to stop it.

Yes. THey're noted for rot around the rear inner/outer wheel arches.

The message from Conor contains these words:

Just like Montegos!

You know the car, if it is generally good then just keep patching while it still drives well and can pass another mot, when the time comes, just throw it away. IE drive it into the ground. it is worth virtually nothing to sell.
