mini59dons Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! When ye get crook from the grog ye can sleep in the back I saw a Holden Ute a Bridge of Dee a month or so ago - weird looking things The V8 ones are a bit mental, 500 hp to the back wheels with no weight on them, mental! Driven by nuggets usually though! Quote

baldrick_sheep Posted June 10, 2012 Report Posted June 10, 2012 I drive a Hyundai Accent, but its a disgrace. The headgasket needs replaced, hence its leaking pissing water like a baby and I have to fill it up constantly. The clutch is also starting to squeak badly, think im going to have to get something new soon. Quote

bloo_toon_red Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 I have recently invested in a 1991 SAAB 900 SE full leather 6CD 149k miles. The thinking man's BMW. Bombproof. Quote

mizer Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Been using this Polaris Ranger ATV at work - great vehicle! Mud, bog, steep hills - nae bother! Quote

There's no doubting their quality and reliability. I don't think they look particularly good at all though. I was thinking about a 93 before I bought the Impreza. You get so much car for your money.

Tyrant Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Posted June 12, 2012 Beware the dreaded "bombproof" statement about ANY motor that's done 150k!! 150k is fuck all for a quality motor. If it was a Fiat, Ford, Vauxhall or Renault I'd maybe be slightly more concerned. If I was a Saab owner what would concern me is "sludging". I believe some Saabs have issues with "sludging" where the engine oil distribution is poor due to a sludge like build up at the bottom end. Some parts don't get lubricated enough and as you can imagine that will cause a fairly monumental problem eventually. This is such a problem that the tendency for people (who are aware of the issue) that buy a used Saab the first thing they do is drop the sump and clean it up. However I honestly don't know if cars as old as 1991 900s are affected by this issue. There's also an issue with the bulk head cracking because the steering rack is bolted to it and it puts it under extra strain. You can buy kits to reinforce it which consist of two chunky metal brackets which is meant to prevent it from happening. Still brings a whole new meaning to the term "bombproof" though. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Depends on how hard the miles have been. Hard miles and lots of them will kill any motor. Golf pro I know just got rid of a 900 turbo, never missed a beat for 130k then a catastrofuck. Engine stone dead fucked. Quote
Tyrant Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Posted August 29, 2012 Bought a Golf on Sunday as a "sensible" replacement for the Impreza. The most comfortable car that I've owned. Probably a large part of that is down to the fact that there's nae suspension modifications making it stiffer. Just looking for some reliable, hassle-free motoring oot o' it. Quote
CtS Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Nice one. (But you should be aware that only birds and homos drive golfs in 2012) Quote
Tyrant Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Posted August 29, 2012 Cheers for letting me know. Any birds or homos on here in the market for a Golf? Quote
BrownyBrown Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Nice one. (But you should be aware that only birds and homos drive golfs in 2012) The Hetero Golf version is the 3.2L V6 variant. The short-of-thinking mans motor. Quote

Tyrant Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Posted August 30, 2012 Almost makes me want to buy chrome effect spinner hub caps for my Golf. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks. Your opinion helps form my opinion when buying a motor. Quote
