WIW Accident damaged HDI 60K miles

[ArmzSC6]

My 51 plate 2.0 hdi meridian estate was written off last week by a silly old twat driving straight into it. An assesor has obviously written it off as it has major front end damage however it was very clean and has only covered 61000 miles from new and i had just completed a full service inc all filters, cambelt and water pump change with Gates power-grip belt and a Stage 1 Remap. Also has service history on and off from new.

The car has 21mm torsion bars, gti shocks with spax springs, cyclone wheels with nearky new tyres all round and the standard leaf pattern half leather interior.

It would be a shame to scrap it as it is so would rather someone made good use of the engine and box etc at least but what is it worth??

Car is located in Crowborough east sussex but is not drivable.

i have to state a price so will say £250 to start but it may change.

Anyone interested? pics to follow

[Sambarker]

Definately get some pics up!

[ArmzSC6]

will do in a sec, was debating stripping it for parts but not sure if i really have time. Engines go for between £100 and 300 seemingly, 21mm bars go for £100 ish, Cyclones and tyres £100 maybe?

[Jimbo]

If you break dibs on injectors

[DazzaHDI]

+ glovebox and latch pleaseeeee

[Toms306]

Will be more money in breaking it easily....but if it's saveable, with such low milage might be worth fixing?

[ArmzSC6]

Not save able chaps it's a write off big time the inner wing is bent to fook so is slam panel etc etc cut off leg and replace and jig etc jobby.

Had black masks as well and an unvented Laguna front splitter.
Was in the middle of fabricating a 3 door s16 phase 1 interior into the car when this happened on the way home .

Thank f*ck it wasn't my Supercharged 6!

[titch]

Deffo more money in breaking it.

Would be interested in the rear beam if you do, as long as it is good.

[Jimbo]

Shame that looks a nice car
Theres alot of money to be made breaking it dude.
Just finding time and space

Im a peugeot citroen mechanic and have access to the workshop at weekends so breaking it is an option but its just more time.

Beam is good no camber but bars are siezed in. was planning on removing it this weekend fitting new beam mounts and heating the bars with some oxy to remove them so i could drop the rear.
Depends what the beam is worth as i wanna upgrade my bars in the 6 to 21 or 23mm again now it has a brand new axle on.

[londondan86]

Ouch!! What was it that hit you, must have been something quite big for it to have bent the leg down like that!

[Dum-Dum]

Defo not worth repairing unless someone owns a jig themselves.

Would be interested in the tow bar for the right price.

[ArmzSC6]

+ glovebox and latch pleaseeeee

sorry dude glove box is one of the few things broken on the car lol

Renault laguna but he pulled straight across infront of me didnt even have time to stamp on the brakes. his his n/s front wheel hard at 30mph.

Still got sore neck/ back now nearly a week later... should be getting a payout for that but still annoying.... more to the point id just got the car a bit more how i want it, done all the suspension with bilstein b6's made black masks, done engine mounts and cam belt etc remap, sorted all the sound system.... then bang and its back to square one....

Whats the right price ? want wiring etc obviously as well? wouldnt wanna post a large item like that really though but i dont mind a road trip in a derv

[Jaymes306]

maybe intrested in this as a whole

[Dodgy Bob]

If you break it bud I put dibs on the boot badge, trim above numberplate around lock, rear lights, and rear bumper.

---

In fact sod just the trim and badge I'll take the whole boot lid if you break it, it's in well better nick than mine anyway.

[HDIkyle]

Be a good buy for someone with an estate change colour on logbook and swap plates and vin for cheap tax, then break. Actually how much for chassis if you strip it?

[ArmzSC6]

What would you pay as a whole with the service history and book etc? would save me a lot of hassle but less money obviously. Drop me a pm.

Just the bare shell? No idea what ever its worth in scrap value round here really probs 150 as a whole car so 100 shell maybe. dont really see how youd swap the plates and vin as it will be cat c (i imagine) written off so would need a vic check on said vehicle anyway.

That sounds like a great idea!!

[Piggy]

be interested in the B6s

[ArmzSC6]

If I get another 306 the b6 rears will be going on it otherwise they will be or sale.
Thinking about getting a Golf tdi or Leon tdi instead as I fancy a change but have my eye on a couple if 306 estates at the minute as well.

Their paying me out £1500 or the car initially but this is meant to be going up a few hundred quid after some haggling and meant to be covered like for like for mods on the vehicle as well.

If I dot get another 306 I have various spares and sets of wheels and a set of GTI front brakes which I'll be selling as well.

[me-tm]

Damn, somebody beat me to the tail lights... and the tow bar!

I'd be interested in the front shocks and springs though, if you can get the left one out of there!

[Piggy]

Ive already got dibs on the shocks!

[WiNgNuTz]

What condition is the drivers seat in? Nice and close to me as well, so can do collection without any issues.

Shame about the masks, i'd have had those as well.

[me-tm]

Ive already got dibs on the shocks!

Oh f*ck it then. There's nothing left that I want!

[Dodgy Bob]

Any news bud? Are you breaking it or have you sold it as a whole? Still interested in the lights, boot, & bumper if you break it.

[ArmzSC6]

Sorry the insurance company are reviewing the payout they've given me on the car so its due to be dropped back to me tomorrow at my work.

First thing I wanna do is remove the front panel and sort out the wiring to the starter motor as the engine cut out on the impact and now the starter won't crank at all.

I've checked the inertia cut off switch and seems fine but the wiring from the positive battery terminal is touching the front slam panel so has more than likely popped a major fuse.


No one has made me an offer on the car as a whole as yet so I imagine I'll be breaking it. I I get another estate I'll want the rear lights as I've only just sprayed and tinted them but I'm more looking for a Leon Cupra FR tdi as I fancy a change.

I anyone wants to buy the car whole then speak up now as I'll start takin bits off it soon. More than likely next week.

[ArmzSC6]

Sorry for delay chaps but I've finally found time to get on with this and it is now gonna be broken.

Not sure exactly what the engine is worth, can be heard running, start on the button, has some service history just had a full service with 5/40 fully synthetic Morris lubricants oil, new diesel filter (purflux) new Gates Powergrip cam belt, with new roller and tensioner, new water pump and coolant change, new crank pulley, and new aux belt and aux belt tensioner pulley.

Will come with ecu, immobiliser ecu and transponder chip with stage 1 remap

Pete.

[Alan_M]

Interested in the cyclones.

[Dodgy Bob]

I deffo still want the rear lights if you can add postage on price? Also the boot badge, and trim around the lock above numberplate. If you get a price inc postage let me know ta.

[ArmzSC6]

Cyclones will be available when I've taken the engine out as it won't need to be a rolling shell then.

Rear lights I can post no probs, in the new year as cars at work and we've just finished till 3rd jan. Though I am popping down to work to do a few bits and bobs on a few cars just after Christmas.

boot badge isn't in very good condition though it looks it in the pics I'll have a look at the other bit later.
