My 21 turbo Quaddie For Sale

[r21essex]

Hi all, am selling my quadra after only having it for a week. Decided that its not really for me and should stick to waht i know best!

Let me fill you in on a few things (most have prob seen my posts)

Originally had an issue with charging, sorted that out

Now got a problem with cooling....been getting rather warm!! been in contact with craig and dave on here and have come to the conclusion that i am pretty certain its not head gasket. done compression test and figures came out low but they was consistent across all 4 been told it has forged pistons so this could be causing the slightly lower figures. Plus no mayo whatsoever in filler cap or water tank!
I think that i still have an air lock somewhere as i dont have any bleed screws in my silicone pipes (although i rang sfs and they said if i send them back they'll put the screws in for free). but i just dont have money now as i need to move out of my current place by 10th april lastest!!
I still havent run the car since i re bled it again and will do it tomorrow to keep you all posted on whats happening but here is the lowdown on whats been done to it (well what i was told any way)

Just an update gonna be honest as i can seen as the previous owners wasnt.

Just thought i'd let you all know bled the system off today, managed to do it without the bleed screws, took it for a spin, ran fine at 1bar of boostdidnt overheat but i would like to point out that there is now a bit of mayo in the oil cap. car still runs ok though if you dont rip the s*it out of it.

Like i said offers on the car needs to go am moving house

lmfao

funny how that car managed to go to events in Europe, keep up with the best of us

but now its all his fault

well done for bleeding the system without bleed screws (never owned certain fords or a certain jap cars then?)

and yep - its a turbo pacs engine, so it would of had low comp. pistons

but as jon said

wrong place to slag off a good honest person, and a good car.......

Now its no secret to any regular, that myself and the previous owner of ur car have not always seen eye to eye, or in truth Ive not seen eye to his eye. It was a one way arguement lol

But I have a question,

IF SO MUCH OF IT ISNT TO YOUR TASTE WHY THE F*CK DID YOU BUY IT?

I type how I speak, Steve will tell you that lol

And as much as I had certain issues with Steve, I can say I honestly doubt he's got it in him to tuck someone up in a sale, I have, but I really dont believe that he has.

I'd say you bought a 20 yep TWENTY year old French car (it makes a big ol difference that its French) and had ya fingers bitten a bit earlier than u anticipated - they come with faults whether they 5,10,15 or 20 yrs old mate, mine has seen £8-10k in 6 years and is still faulty. Moaning about the fact that u chose to buy it with BMW lights and stickers doesnt really hold up Im afraid.

Well, its pathetic, its like moaning to Points of View about a TV series after you've sat and watched all 6 episodes...............just turn over!!!

it could be worse

i've just bought a rear bumper for the Evo 6

£170 of my finest to be told its in A condition

A condition must mean A crap cos thats all it is - and no the guys not answering his phone on email

but i'm looking at it this way, that its in the body shop already and it will be ok, plus its the only gen evo 6 bumper that i could get!

ahhh the joys of it all

but lee you forget one thing - he's prob run it at 2bar from the first 2 mins he's owned it! but of course that would have nothing to do with it
