well got this out of the fore sale section on here. Collected trailer Friday night and left at 6.00am this morning. 193 miles each way, got 30 miles and realized the trailer lights had stopped working so we pulled over in some services. The plug had come out and had dragged along the road, was nothing left of it  (Cue 1/2 hour with duct tape to make it all work again and back on our way  ) 100 miles in and we had a large bang, thought we had a flat on the trailer but could not fine one then looked at the Jockey wheel, no tyre on it GREAT  . The rest of the trip was uneventful and we arrived about 10.00am paid the man £170 and loaded up, car drove onto the trailer I am the fat one in the first photo     4 1/2 hours back including a stop for food, Had some snaking problems over 60ish when going down hill  (Not nice) got home and unloaded, had to jump it again as battery is pants  Things to do new battery fix fuel leak put some carpet and trim back in new rims as the standard one are very small and the E36 ones look pants replace rear arches patch sills replace passenger side wing Paint not to much then still I think it is a bargin and was expecting alot more rust for the money I paid so very happy with it |
