scotland rifles Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi Bob. I know that you state a electrical problem, were there any symptoms before this. nothing :( the wife came home late last night parked it up and it would not start this morning, checked the battery etc all ok, she tried it tonight and its as dead as a dodo, i jump started it and we had a smell of hot plastic from around the fuse box switched it off and left it as is, i can't be bothered with it, we where given £2000 part x on it but thats out the window now, so its full price for the new car now, bob.

Lez325 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Get the AA or RAC to come have a look ( if youre a member) they'll do the diagnostics for you and you can then state how much to repair as you'll know exactly whats wrong with it Just an idea :Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) same as the one below,BUT THIS IS NOT THE CAR, Help alot to see the actual car I'm in Portsmouth and would be interested if the general condition is alright. after a diesel to run on Veg oil for the new year. Does it still start then or does it need jump starting? I have sent you a msg Edited November 30, 2010 by triscrx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Thats happened a few 307's round here. Not a lot that can be done, sorry to hear of your trouble Bob. For some reason that was a fault with 307s and as for Veg oil, a HDi wont run on that stuff very long at all! If you happen to be breaking the car yourself, those wheels will make £150. Engine/gearbox £150 and the shell will make around £100 for scrap/recycling. Edited November 30, 2010 by Glensman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotland rifles Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Thanks lads, just for the record, it will not jump start as the short circuit is on that side of the loom, as for the car i will try and get some pics,we have used it for everything from holidays in Holland and Germany, to taking the horse tac to the yard and the dog on walks so its done more than most, the night the wife drove it back she came from London, run as sweet as a nut as it always did, then a cold night and we just thought it was the battery had gone,jump started it and as we all know you cant put the smoke back :(, i will clean it and have all the paperwork ready if anyone wants it,if not then the stripping will start in the new year, bob. cash price now and is the lowest i will go is £450 cash as mentioned the parts will cover this easy. IF IT HELPS ANYONE OUT I WILL TAKE A NICE VARIMAG SCOPE AS A SWAP, AS ITS A HARD TIME OF YEAR TO FIND CASH BOB.
