View Full Version : Breaking a red Beat, everything available.

It is with a little sadness that I am now going to break the Beat I bought a short while ago. After watching the depressed Beat market for a while now it doesn't seem economical to repair. So I shall sell it off to help other Beats live on. Very little has been removed from the car, so most parts are available. The engine had suffered a cambelt failure, everything else is in good order.

Please let me know what you require.

Mark

BTW, many parts can be posted worldwide as well as within the UK.

Sad news Mate, but I think your right the market is very dispressed at the moment. I offered my Beat for sale earlier this week and I've had silly offers, very silly offers! I'd rather store it and take the hit on price later.
However would still like the gear knob if the condition is good

Hi, I'm new to this group, so have only just found this post. Do you by any chance still have any bits left? I'm looking for a boot support bar, the one that holds the boot lid up, and a rear fog light. Thanks, Margaret

With regards to a rear fog light, you have a number of popular options

Firstly, what most of them end up with:
The universal rear fog light:
>click for ebay link (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260348564546)

Another option is to replace one of the reverse lights with a red bulb and wire it up as your rear fog, downside is it can appear pink due to the white lens.

The option I went with was an LED bicycle light wired up, small compact and does the job.

LED is the smartest option. I bought a high level brake light from ebay giving much the same result as above ^^^^^^^^

Or put a Red LED bulb in the drivers side reverse light socket and wire the socket to Foglamp switch.

its not technically legal, but it does get through MOT and there is no ugly light hanging off the bumper. As long as the switch has an Orange warning light.

I done this before the LED option. Failed MOT as it wasn't bright enough

I prefer to use the o/s reverse light myself.

Probably just depends on:-

a) What LED bulb you have.

b) What side of the bed the MOT tester got out of.

I'm quite friendly with my MOT tester. I need to be because we have 3 cars and they are all over 12 years old.
