the title should really read 05 Spark broken !

amazingly the two occupants walked away from this, I have this car for one day and then its processed, the day will be Monday, I will drop the subframes complete and take anything else that looks good, please let me know if any members require anything so that I can remove it

Yes, shame! It looks like a well loved car - 16" 11-spoke alloys and AP brakes weren't exactly standard spec on the 115!

And definitely an ouch! :(

Could do with some good wheel nuts, not locking.

How much would you ask for the two AP calipers, Tony?

I did manage to get at the car today, I am not familiar with such a late car so I am unsure of its spec, the front subframe has solid mounts, is this standard on this car ?,

can anyone tell me if this will have the quicker rack, there is no red/blue/yellow band on it

I forced the bonnet open to find a new wheel and tyre, the same as fitted to the car in the pics, I did also remove all wheels, they do appear to be straight but will confirm this later, thats all I had time for but Monday is the day given to me for removing whatever I can

Mykel, I have not checked the discs/calipers yet but will message you as soon as I have

Solid subframe mounts and the quicker rack are standard on all TFs Tony. I’m not in a hurry with the calipers, I’ll be coming over to Stoneleigh again on 1st March.

I have spent the day taking anything useful from the damaged car, the engine has covered 73k and has a multi layer gasket fitted, oil from engine and gearbox were both clean, the expansion tank is the cleanest that I have ever seen, I have no need for much of this but want it to be used for other cars, its all up for grabs,

spare wheel is new with jack kit, the other wheels have gone off to be checked, I think I am correct is saying that the airbox is a 160 item, I did take the support bracket with it

As said, I’d be interested in the AP calipers and the snorkel as well. How much are you asking, Tony?

I think £100 for the calipers and the snorkel would be fair

I think so, too, even with the exchange rate sitting on Mount Everest at the moment :lol:

How are we gonna do it? I’ll be at Stoneleigh in March and could ask someone from your area to pick up and bring there. Paypal okay, I guess?
