Claire1978 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi I was wondering if someone could help me , I'm trying to sell my UK300 due to husband leaving and having to move house . The Scooby failed its MOT last November and to be honest I've done nothing to it !! Its just sat on my drive and I need to sell it now . I haven't got my MOT with me at the moment (I'm at work ) but will post later what needs to be done to it ! Could really do with some help :) so any help or advice would be lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Sounds like your having a bit of a rough time of it at the moment, but stick the failure list , couple of pics and let us know what county your in . Then hopefully someone will be able to point you in the right direction. If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's a cracking looking car... would be a shame if you have to sell it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Welcome. Not too far from me :) Not a million miles from scoobyclinic up at chesterfield, sure they could help out. They deal with an indy recovery driver so can get it picked up if needs be as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Ah fair enough, will be alot easier to sell as a running car then non runner with no mot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hoppe you don't mind me posting this claire ? Ok so did some digging and this is the mot fail sheet Biggest concern would be subframe replacement. All the rest are consumables, emissions aren't really a problem If you know where to go, Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 not gonna be a cheap fix by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Nice private plate too It will still sell but not as much as one with 12 month mot on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire1978 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 How much you reckon without MOT ?? was looking for £1500 its got BC racing coil overs STI inter cooler full mill Tec exhaust system plus a few other bits and a women has drive it 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire1978 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Or how much to fix it ? Thanks for everyone's help 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'd want a good look under the whole car tbh. Emissions could be a number of things really. How much was it driven before the mot? I'd pay £1500 no worries if I had space to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire1978 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 This has been de cated This was driven by me to work and back I work 10 mins from home can the subframe be removed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastboy67 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 It can't be removed without replacing it or repairing it if that's what you mean. The decat is what's causing your car to fail the emissions test that's what mine fails on without using a sympathetic tester who'll turn a blind eye to the emissions. Good luck with what ever route you go down sale or repair. Shame you feel the need to sell but understand with wanting a fresh start 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire1978 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 I know about the emissions , they changed the MOT tester where I used to take my car☹️ How much to repair the sub frame or get new ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look when i was looking at some newages recently, they'd gone bad too, not that uncommon. Fitting cost I'm not sure on how long it would take.

Mr B Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 You looking at new discs and pads plus calipers checked as expect pistons partially seized hence disc worn more one side. Rear suspension bushes cat refitted (hopefully you kept that :-/ ) Subframe all depends on how bad it is, if removed they can be blasted, cut & welded with new steel & coated with epoxy paint for better than new long term repair . hard say how much without looking ... If not doing work yourself garage bill for all of it going mount up a bit, Put it on here for your wanting price & on eBay for little more (not as auction as too many idiots). Will sell it easily if rest of car good as those failures easy & cheap for any DIY enthusiast ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 @mr B do you have to drop the gearbox & associated bits to remove the subframe ? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire1978 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Yes have the original cat 👍🏻 dont know what to do money a bit tight at the mo ?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 No if it the U frame it reasonably easy remove (12 bolts on frame itself) , some can be a right rusted mess. You can get aftermarket frame-brace all in one or hunt down A1 used preferably from jdm import if current one like a wet weekabix . Crossmember more awkward but it normally the U subframe rusts at front due to moisture trap issue . new part or labour on old one going add up along with other bits . Doubt she see more money at end of day with MOT but sale possibly quicker if did ! Some people actually remove the U frames (invalidates insurance though) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
