Those pics are abysmal. Any chance of some better ones? Whats the bodywork like?

What category of write off is it, I'm pretty sure that if it needs a VIC check the MOT would have been revoked.

Where abouts are you?

[Oldbus]

That's the dreaded Ford CVT box isn't it?

[bigjl]

I was the manager of a garage back in the ninties, and we had a couple of customers with these, from memory I think the box was the same as the one fitted to the CVT Micra of the time, not really a bad box, but noisy as the engine revs quite loudly all the time, if I remember right you had to keep on top of the band adjustments, and I think they had to be replaced after so many miles, it was an awfully long time ago, but not really a bad or unreliable box, but needed more maintenance, which in little city cars nobody wants to do.

[gaz]

well i don't no to much about them i just thaught the body was to good to scrap i drove it yesterday and yes they do rev a bit loud oh well if no one wants it i will just crush it but don,t foget its only got 60k on it got owner,s handbook and s/h stamp up to 36000 last five years mot ok thanks for looking guys /gals

You might sell that on eBay, parts for mk2s aren't as easy to come by anymore. I'd buy it for spares but we're not keeping our Fez long term.

[gaz]

would really appreciate clearer pics of the damage.

i bought a car from a breakers before that was a cat c (iirc) write off. i repaired it and MOT'd it - next thing i had the police around asking lots of questions and they were all over the car... apparently this was a VIC check... put the fear of god up me

[gaz]

well yes I bet it did but I can only tell you want I no I'm sorry about the pics will try to take better ones I rang vosa they sent a form I'm not to sure but I think who ever has the car has to take it so they can check all the numbers to make sure its the same car as for the write off thingy I don.t no what cat it was but will try to find out all I no is the guy had £450access so all he got from them was £50 then he was told he could scrap it or get the check done .
