coachman Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Gentlemen and Ladies , I had hoped to `showoff` my Classic before now but with none kept promises of this and that have delayed me . However the car is now in the capable hands of S.J.M in Leeds . I say capable because they were the ONLY ones locally to me that were prepared to tackle the problems ,( ABS block ,brakes ,seats ,tail gate ,RUST ,) The brakes are now working ,tail gate closes and locks ,the seat moves electrically ,and things are moving on ,thankfully . I look forward to telling you all about it . Does anyone know where I could buy /obtain a copy of the owners handbook ( the glovebox version .) Oh I am excited , and christmas is coming . Coachman .

Snagger Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Looks like a Vogue SE - the Vogue has cloth seats (same fabric as used on you door panels) with manual adjustment and no heating, no sun roof or aircon, coil springs and the centre console has grey plastic around the window switches and the black rubber matting around the gear sticks (same as on the dash top centre). I have started stripping down my 300Tdi '95 Classic Vogue (I previously added seat heating and half the aircon system, with the rest going in on rebuild). They're wonderful cars, even if the rear legroom is less than generous. Expect bad sills, inner wheel arches and rot in the spot welded joint between the A-pillar and front wing sides (my biggest worry). I hope you can turn yours around more quickly - mine is going to take years because of other financial priorities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
