440 MOT Fail - Grantham Lincs

Aaron440 · Feb 2nd, 2016, 14:53

HI

My P reg Volvo440 just failed the MOT. Needs welding in various places (sills and bulkhead), wheel arches are a mess. Generally quite tatty.

Its a basic model, I think its a 1.6l, faded Red.

It has been a reliable runner,
It has a tow bar.

Anybody want it or any bits?

Do you have the headlight wipers (arms and blades?)

Aaron440 · Feb 4th, 2016, 10:25

Yes.

The arms appear to be complete and in good condition. The blades look to be intact, but I can't be sure about the condition of the rubber.

I expect its possible to put photos on here, but it could take me a while to work out how.

One of us can help to talk you through it if needed.

As to the headlamp wipers, if the arms are there I would be happy to have them, blades aren't a big problem.

Do you have a cassette holder below the stereo/heater controls? If so, I would like this please.

If you have, I'm in need of clutch/brake pedal rubbers. I could also do with the little bit of trim on the drivers door inside, has SRS on it and screws the card to the door. These I could do with now.
But, if you do break the car, at the very end, if in good condition, I would also like the steering wheel (black) as the top of mine twists round the internal metal frame ... not sure if that may end up as being a reason to fail an mot
thanks

In need of the rear numberplate bulb holders as just broken 1 trying to replace bulb.

It's for a M reg 440. Let me know cost by pm please.

Aaron440 not to worry about the rear numberplate lights. Managed to fix mine with a bit of lateral thinking.
