The T5-R is now dead!

[The Flying Moose]

With the help of Andyb1375 last night we took all the mechanical elements of the car to pieces. The engine is now sat in the garage along with the rear subframe exhaust etc etc.

The car is going for scrap in the next few days and I have got most of what I think may be useful out of it.

I tried to upload some pictures but failed.

If anyone needs any small parts, switches, pieces of plastic trim etc please do contact me and ill be happy to send them on. Im not going to ask for money for any little bits and bobs just the cost of postage so Im not out of pocket.

So if anyone needs anything, and please no "Do you have the bumper" or "can I have the wheels" questions as if I decide to sell them they will be sold in due course. Just want to help others with bits they may need before the shell goes.

Cheers

Emlyn

Still got bits of mine in the garage - 6 years later. The engine is still purring away under the bonnet of the Silver one.

It was quite sad when they finally took away the car-cass.

See here... >>linky<<

Just about stripped every last bolt off there I think Dave! I havn't got quite to that extreme as I cant get to some things and those parts that are damaged have been left on.

The garage is heaving now though and needs emptying

[Wobbly Dave]

I ebayed many of the engine auxilaries. It would do you well to hang onto high value parts such as the strut brace, ARBs & the FSDs (with springs). Specialist parts e.g. steering wheels & trim specific to the T5-R I would also hang onto, until you get a car which either doesn't need them or they are duplicated.

Anyway your closure is a bit swifter than mine. Onwards & forwards!

what sort of condition are the passanger doors and the bonnet in?

[Ade]

I could do with an internal tailgate handle as mine's broken.
(just the plastic trim)

It was an 854 so the tailgate trim will not apply

You getting tired of seeing the holes?

Im afraid the passenger doors are both dented. The bonnet is dent free but has multiple scratches across it where it was dragged upside down.

Hi Ade, unfortunately the saloons dont have internal tailgate handles.

A T5-R without an engine!



The garage is looking pretty full

[Ade]

No probs!

Emyln,

Glad you got all the bits off and a real shame about the car.

If I was you I would take the glovebox off as this will command a high price in that T-5R medium grey colour. It took me 18months to source mine in the correct colour!! and the original SC801 in black, as again, I believe these to be rare as the grey is readily available. I hope you found that tiny item I was after, lol

Thanks,

Scott..

If your cruise was working don't forget to retrieve the valve thing under the battery tray and the cruise relay too.

I would also take little things out like the wash wiper filler, ABS ECU & master brake cylinder.

Cheers Phil, I had no idea about these components and yes it was working

Hi Scott. thanks for that advice, I have already had a PM about the glovebox lid! Just asking for a fiver to cover the postage. Radio and all buttons etc are out.

I am going to try get that part now.

[frobes2]

Excellent..

It's a little bit fiddly but just take the grab handle off then the vent and you'll see the fan/resistor type thing behind it, then pull the headlining down a little and you should see a couple of screws holding the surround in place.. thanks again..

Scott..

ps. will you cover the postage on 5 gallons of V-Power lol.. and that glovebox went cheap, could have got a bidding war on that as well.. hehe

Haha, well I have put it in the R now! I have the facility to barrel up fuel though so could have sent it...

I have seen the part you mension, ill make sure its off before the shell goes. Had enough for today though

Sorry to hear about all the troubles and the big accident Emlyn. I hope your all sorted now with by what looks like a lot of help from members here which is great to see.

[Flatout Phil]

Make sure you get under the knee panels under the dash - therin shalt thou find assorted relays! And the fan blower.
Pick the old thing clean!

[Eddy T]

I'm looking for the grey pieces of plastic that cover the front seat mounting bolts if you can help it would be great.
