Hi guys,

I'm back in the Mk2 Ibiza gang again !!!

Bought a Copper Mk2 Ibiza on EBay last night, and picking it up tonight

Some of you may have seen it on there......

Needless to say it was a bit of a bargain. I just need to sort out a few 'niggly' problems, and it'll be good as new

Will get some pictures up when I get back from Spain next weekend !!!!

Andy

Nice one Andy - let's hope the niggly problems are a bit more easily resolved that those you've had with your last ebay bargain, eh? And if they ain't, you know there'll always be people to advise at your #1 source for SEAT information...

 

[andyj]

lol @ G

Cheers matey !!!

I'm getting pretty good at sorting out 'niggly' starting/stalling problems after the last 2 Ebay purchases !!!!

 

[andyj]

and before anyone asks, no I'm not picking the car up from Spain !!!

Picking it up tonight, and then flying out to Spain for a week in the sun, tomorrow afternoon !!!

 

[Icecavern]

no no no no no no... stupid boy...

 

[hopkinsgm]

...lol @ G ...

Glad you appreciated that Andy. It's not easy being so cheesy that early in the morning

I know the one you mean i think was it the 60k idling fault with no service history car?

If it was i am pretty sure it was the idle stabilization valve on it because its meant to get cleaned on services.

Got my aye on an 8v on ebay at the mo, see what i can get it for

 

[andyj]

that's the one mate

Only problem being that the guy has now decided he's lost the V5 for the car !!! Oops

He's going to try getting one from DVLA next week while I'm on holiday, and I'll pick it up in a couple of weeks.

 

[Copper Cupra]

Not another Copper one to grace the SC stands at shows!!!
Nice one though Andy... good colour! Was it the one with the S-EAT plate? Woudl like a plate like that on mine.

 

[Cupra Kid]

I think it was because i thought i read something about selling it

 

[F2 Stu]

Its missing 8 valves - thats quite a niggle

 

[Cupra Kid]

nowt wrong with 8v's keep up with 16's much better than the figures suggest in my experience, plus not as much ragging required. Then to top it off theres that deep throaty noise they make around 1.5k mark.

Damn i want another now

 

[RobT]

cheers andy, hope you had a good drive back
Rob

 

[andyj]

Cheers Rob

Drive back was a bit less 'eventful' shal we say...... Lets just hope that Andy's Uncle does me a good price on fitting the clutch..... seeing as it was his poor clutch work that made it 'let-go' !!!

 

[markfleet]

May I ask how much it was?

Recently got a copper 8v cupra gti myself with different niggly problems which are mostly sorted now at little expense (except theres a dent in the front wing that needs repairing). Cost me £500 with full service history but fairly with miles.

 

[Smithy]

welcome to the baby cupra club You owe me a beer for the hpi next time I c ya hehe

 

[andyj]

Grrrr...

Just spoke to the guy about the V5, and he's said that he's sent off for a new one, but will take 3-4 weeks before he gets it back.

Looks like I'm going to have to wait a little longer before I get to pick it up !!! Grrr !!!!

HPI Check has come back clear, which is reassuring. But don't think I'll take the risk.

Will just wait til he gets the V5, and then pick it up. Will check chassis & engine numbers match the V5 and HPI report 1st though

Watch this space......

 

[jenk]

what a bummer, will you get it in time for inters then? Gives you plenty of time to hunt bits down to pimp it up

 

[andyj]

fingers crossed it'll be ok for Inters....

 

[andyj]

Still no sign of the V5.... but at least the guy's being a bit more reasonable about it, and is willing to take a deposit for it, and the rest when he gets the new V5 and I collect the car etc.

Can't wait !!!
