Matts Budget 1.9 150 SRI

So I purchased this mega cheap 1.9 cdti in Sapphire Black nearly a year ago but I have only just discovered this section!
I paid £200 as she had several problems:

Flywheel noise plus clutch slave leak
Drivers window not working
Only 1 months MOT

I purchased a new flywheel from Mill Auto plus Flywheel for £280 and fitted it myself.

Once the clutch was done the MOT was the next issue and I already knew she needed 2 x tyres, a seized rear caliper and boom 12 months MOT obtained. I fitted a second hand window motor and gave her a good clean and I was vey happy with the cost V result.

I managed to obtain some 19s that are in need of a good refurb with legal tyres for £180 but they will need a repaint/repair and new boots after Christmas

Well done sounds like a bargain and further plans for it

I am one of those awkward people who wants good gear but can t afford it so I went online and got some 235/35/19 tyres from a company called openeo they supplied Firemax tyres for £53 each delivered and I fitted and balanced them myself. To be fair they are budget tyres but they stick to the road, drive really well and are not noisy at all. I also had our engineers do a couple of welds on 2 cracks and I did my own wheel refurb as I am ok at spraying.
