Hi all Thought I would join the Forum having recently purchased an f reg 190 which our daughter is currently driving. 99K Miles in white with electric windows all round/ABS / minor rust on one wheel arch and only £500. Passed its MOT today with no major issues so very pleased and it rides so nicely too! Mike |

Thinking it will go for at least a year - touching wood! Guys at Prestige Car Services in Horndean have looked after it before and think its a good 'un so here's hoping. Need to source a gear rod bush and a couple of other bits so starting to search..... |

Hi Mike, I presume this is Andy's old one? Sounds like a great buy to me, and if it's the one I think it is he did quite a fair bit of work to it - rebuilt carb, shifter bushes, new front wishbones etc. Bangernomics at its best Will |

It is indeed - bought it before Christmas as our daughter and her boyfriend ( Partner?) had just returned from travelling to South America/Spain and had little money and no transport. Will take pics this weekend and post them up. You mention new shifter bushes - was at PCS yesterday and car was on ramp. Olly pointed out one bush that was hanging off which explains issues with gear lever so looking for a replacement which, according to Olly, only takes about 20 mins to fit.
