Having got an accident damaged Liteace from the scrapyard a few weeks ago, I took it for an MOT today, having done nothing more than put one new tyre on it. It failed of course, but the object of this was to find out how much it was going to cost me to get it back on the road. 2 shocker bushes, 1 rear fog light broken, and 1 roll bar with play in it. Thats all. I can't believe it. I went underneath and had a look at it whilst it was on the ramps, and the underneath is better than my M reg car!!! It fires up first time, engine ok, water ok, and no obvious faults. The fuel guage is playing up a bit now that I've put diesel in, but I think that the sender has stuck slightly. There may be one or two things which have to settle down after it's been standing for months but that won't be a problem. Will keep you posted on it. Angie x

Well good for you, and not a lot of cash to get it through!
And just how much was it from the scrappy?

£900. Was that a fair price do you think? There is no rust and it looks like it has only been in Britain for about 3 yrs. x
