also if its ok by the co op, it is in no way considered theft, i did ask the lady in the police station several times and it is NOT theft
Is that because there is no current registered keeping on the DVLA computer or because legally the ownership of the vehicle has transferred to the co-op where it has been on their property for so long??
i had it all explained to me the last owner of the car had it transfered to whoever,the last owner then sent his bit of paper off saying that he no longer owns it, however it was never re-registered after that, thus it has no current keeper and as its been left on private land and has no owner as far as anyone is concerned it belongs to the co op, so there we go theres also a maestro thats been in the same car park for 3 years i could have
i'd take both!!! Have you any idea how long the MK2 been sitting in the carpark for?? (you've probable already said and i missed it, cant be bothered to re-read this thread again ) The only reason why i asked is because there are a few cars bumped in the carpark for the block of flats near me, nothing great. Audi 80, couple of fiesta's and a Fiat Panda last time i looked. I was thinking about trying to have something away that is in there if i can....... legally ofcourse
its been there at least 2 months according to my mate who lives in the area and see's the place every day could have been longer, only noticed it 2 months ago tho
mr co op man took a copy of my letter and said he'll ring me in a couple of days to let me know if its owned by anyone at the coop ill keep you posted
OMG... what happens next... tell me tell me tell me..... just read this thread, its like a storey that doesn't have an end, i really hope u get the car mate, sounds fab.
oh a question: if i start it (im dreaming here.. but you never know) will that then disengage the steering lock? and how easy is it to change the ignition key?
Jolfa I'd keep a very close eye on it coz the Co-op manager might get ideas and sell it for scrap or something.
he seems like a nice guy, if he doesnt ring me ill be ringing him every day from monday i wouldnt even mind offering him some cash for it
To do it properly, I suppose you could remove the steering column trim and then drill a pilot hole into the ignition barrel / column bearing housing so that the ignition barrel can be slid out and replaced with one you have the key for?
orrrrrr i could do it the easy way, snap the door handle off, get in, break the steering lock, start it with 2 leads would be nice if i could drive it away.. i wonder whats wrong with it? place your bets now! i said head gasket or something gearbox related...
whyever not? when/if mr co op man says i can, i could still not legally since the tax is out of date... but if it worked, i could
Don't dick about with the steering lock - undo the bottom UJ joint bolt on your own car, then pull out he whole column with wheel and all. Do the same to the other car and replace the steering column with yours. Takes about 5 minutes to do it, and then you can get it home without buggering any stering locks.
