First time cav owner

Post by Danny2009 »

Hello

Picked my first cav up a few weeks ago thought id join up to the forum as it seems to be full of knowledgable people and I know nothing about these

Sold my old car as turbo went after I had changed it once, needed a cheap run about searched everywhere and found my cav

Thought price was a bit steep but needed a car and it had 12month test so drove it on my recovery truck and that was that

Was hard to find a cheap runabout as I need a old diesel with mechanical pump

Been running this on waste veg oil at 28pence per L for 2 thousand miles now

Anyway enough rambling we all like pictures it's nothing special but ill stuck some up anyway

Looks a nice colour you've got there, they look right in that colour for the age. You will find all the help, advice and even spare parts here, stick around and have a browse.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Thanks for the welcome

Need to update my profile I'm from South Yorkshire anything go on around my way?

Interior is clean outside is a bit battered keyed ect

He wanted £500 for it but got him down to £430

Mileage was on 195k she's touching 198k now

My mate had a td and loved it regrets selling it, what swayed me was it having a Bosch fuel pump so it will run waste veg oil if it wouldn't it wouldn't be on my drive now
