I made a commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RycEfEH7 ... e=youtu.be #Marinanotforsale

For anyone who hasn't seen it, I urge them to check out "Buy My Volvo" on Youtube. Here's my parody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RycEfEH7 ... e=youtu.be

I may have the Cornish owners details somewhere as I looked at buying it when they had it for sale. I'll have a sift through my e-mails when I'm back from the national and see if I can find anything.

Hi all :D I'm trying to trace the previous owners of my coupe SAE632M and create a "back story" together. I purchased it in May 12 through Ebay and subsequently found that Dan Cowan (On here a while back) had bought it from a seller in Cornwall who sold her to Dan in 2011. I've spent hours searching ...

Was looking at this when it was listed on Ebay. Yes it was in Bournemouth. Glad its gone to a good home and presumably its not being broken for yet another Morris Minor project!

Topped up the oil in the rear axle and drained and re-filled the gearbox. I couldn't find EP90 anywhere, but after doing some reading decided Castrols Manual gear oil EP80W90 GL4 was suitable. Took it for a spin down the local bypass to get things circulating. Nothings gone bang yet.

Took SAM to Classics on the Prom in Bournemouth. Great turn out and she got a lot of attention :D

It's nice to know that 40 years after leaving the factory, on a sunny afternoon all across Britain. People are still spending time looking after their Marinas.

Defiantly. You can see where it's been spot welded on. And there's quite a gap where it joins to the top by the scuttle. Scuttle has quite a big hole in it. Sills have started to go, and spare wheel well is full of filler

In a follow up to trying to rescue TDT461L the other day. My mate has had it recovered home today. First concerns about the rear axle being suspect have been layed to rest, as we have discovered that the gear-box is to blame. She's lost 1st & reverse, but runs and drives..just about. Fortunately I ...

Could be a number of contributing factors. The gear selector was very also stiff. but the wheels would turn once in gear, "bang"
then stop, then turn again, but only on one side?. I'd put money on it being diff or shaft related...will report back once we've got it home

Went to Southampton on a recovery mission to collect another Marina my mate has just bought through Ebay.
The evening started well, and after a lot of faffing around got a car that had been sat for over 14 months running.
A combo of stale fuel, blocked and sticking float chamber and a flat battery ...
