It comes with great remorse but I have decided that rather than spending loads of dough fixing up and tuning my T5 I'm going to break it. I don't know how long it will sit as its at my mechanis garage. I'm putting the wheels on the V70 but if any of you need anything just ask. :parhmph:

Sorry I never got back earlier guys was working at Oxygen,Irelands biggest music festival and I'm just back. I'm in greatremorse to have to pull the curtains on my T5. I love her very very much but aftr speaking to my mechanic we came o a desicion that for less money than it would cost just for mot repairs I could buy another cleaner example. And as I am probably the most skint I've ever been in my life its just the wrong time. :tombstone :slap:

Cheers boss.
Just checked my MOT from last year and had an advisory for both pins/bushes in the suspension arms on the front.

Did it have a factory alarm? If so I'm after a working alarm horn (under the bonnet, on the bulkhead usually). :)

Mate I got the mechanic to check them and he said there is a few miles left in them how ever not many and they'd probably need replacing so probably pointless for you to buy them however if you really want them I'll only charge you postage and whatever m mechanic charges me to pull them out.

My alarm never worked but I can check the horn out for you. I'm assuming thats the part that was faulty as it would have flashed hazards but no sound. Once i've checked it i'll let you know.

Arches and fixings are all there but I ain't go a clue what they are worth. Help me out I'm an honest guy and don't want to be ripping the ar** out of it.

I'll see my mate (mechanic) and see what he can get them for new.
I'm not a skin flint but this cars always been run on a budget on purpose, so if they're mega bucks I'll give you a shout :beer:
