Breaking Diplomat

[Madlad]

UPDATED AND EDITED

I am now receiving the car TODAY so any parts you may want please contact me asap and I will let you know how much and if available.

Well I sold my Dippy to my mate and he has f**ked the engine and was just going to scrap it :rolleyes: so I told him to sell some parts off it.

Main things are:

Full leather, drivers seat worn with a rip in the bolster, all the rest is mint including doorcards.
£100 collection only.

4 x Vectra door handles colour coded in satin red. All mint.
£25 inc p+p.

Also Gsi panel/lights, tinted facelift lights and panel, all body panels are very good no rust, bootlid has gsi lip spoiler, 60mm lowering springs, wood effect momo steering wheel and gearknob, all electrics, heated electric mirrors in satin red, air con buttons, heated seat switches, all usual dippy refinements.

Anything you may need give me a shout we should have it. :Cool2:

Here's a pic by the way, anything you can see is for sale except or the wheels they have been sold!

how much for springs and front struts

Just the front springs?

[Jimbo Jet Set]

have you got the heated seat switches with the rubber mat that is in the center of them

[Madlad]

I will have to check if the rubber mat is in there and getback to you :Cool2:

okay chears thats what i need

[expatscot]

maybe there is a god after all :Cool2:

have just been mulling over what to do/where to go to get the parts I need for my Dip - same reg and looks the same colour as that one ...... EDIT: can confirm, is the same colour, according to codes anyway - 72 L, Satin Red

would principally be intersted (initially anyway)

1). the front fog lights

2). the wing-mirrors

as both of these need replaced on mine.

and then ..........

3). the side indicator lights

4). the vectra door handles.

5). both the front door cards.

6). - the bonnet (possibly) dependent on state of it; easier than getting my stone ships resprayed.

who would have thought it - same colour and same age and happens to be getting broken when I need some bits and pieces....:bananasmi

drop a PM about the likely dent in the wallet from the above items..... I'll go look over my Dip tomorrow with a fine-tooth comb and see what other goodies might be needed.:Cool2:

hell - can I not just come up to Suffolk with some tools and 'go to town' on it.....

EDIT:- ammendment confirming colour match!

[CavHopper]

can i have a pic of the steering wheel and gearknob please, thanks

[Madlad]

As requested.........

This is the only pic I have of the leather and the steering wheel/knob at the moment. The fronts look much worse than they are in this pic as the light is shining off every litle crack.
The rear leather is very good (i don't like to say mint because people expect brand new!)

expatscot I have pm'd you :Cool2:

[COLINSRI]

How much for the wheel (+hub kit), gear knob and rear springs (what make?)......
pm me please as i don't get on here that often at the moment

UPDATE: I have just spoken to my mate and to make things easier I am going to buy the car back so I will be stripping it. All parts will be availble but not for a couple of weeks so get your dibs in now!

okey dokey - sounds like a fine plan

my requests as per above and the PMs already exchanged.. forgot to go look over the Dip today for anything else that's needed (was being lazy) so will do that tomorrow.

will also check my paint code (EDIT: now confirmed to match, 72 L, Satin Red) - there's pics of mine around in the members gallery, looks to be the same but can never tell with pics, better safe than sorry.

[Madlad]

The paint code is 72L satin red

[scharatz]

The paint code is 72L satin red

Probably a stupid question, but is every 72L the same? It just looks a bit darker than my 72L on that photo.

Are the mirrors and vectra door handles in good condition? I might be interested.

oi, join the queue..... LOL :lmao:

in the nicest possible way; just kidding!

yeah - no worries; was just messing about and being a lippy bugger

I will have to wait and see, like I said I have not got the car back yet.

He has got in first so he ha first dibs if available, if not then I will put you down for them. They are all MINT.

:Cool2:

Martin

[scharatz]

Alright, cool. Let me know if he changes his mind :Cool2:

[expatscot]

Alright, cool. Let me know if he changes his mind :Cool2:

if I change my mind or something else causes it to go 'tits up' for me - will PM you so you know as soon as :Cool2:

though it should all go okay - the only thing niggling me was the paint code/clour angle, and that's been addressed.... should be plain sailing.

Sorry when you said 'seperate' I thought you meant split the door cards!

I have no pics yet mate, I am 99.9% sure they are all in great condition though, obviously i would let you know if not.

I reckon £25 for the 4 if thats ok. Looks like collection though unless you can arrange a courier.

Cheers

I meant separate from the seats, because you listed them together :Cool2: Is there a way of getting some photos before I make a 200 mile round trip? :D

Could you give me a hand swapping them round while I'm there?

I will be able to get pics but not until next week mate.
I can give you a hand I suppose, as long as it is on a friday or saturday!

I will get in touch as soon as I have pics :Cool2:

uuuuuuuuppp.....

ttt

[Madlad]

uppity

[CavBayBen]

Have you got the alarm module next to the glovebox. If so can I have it with the plug and about a foot of the loom please :)

[expatscot]

Well Madlad - will see you next weekend then, as per PMs - either Fri or early Sat (think you said Sat was best)...

after revising my wishlist it now stands at:-

1). the front fog lights

2). the wing-mirrors

as both of these need replaced on mine.

and then ..........

3). the side indicator lights

4). the vectra door handles.

5). - the bonnet (probably - most likely) dependent on state of it; easier than getting my stone ships resprayed. from the pics seen thus far it seems in better nick than mine....

6). the leads & hose mentioned in PM (will try to get some pics just now).

:Cool2:
