Not sure on prices, But i would imagine it to be worth more in parts than as a non running car.

Mint super s's go for around £500? I expect noone to be willing to pay more than about £250 for a non running k10 to be honest.

Saying that, I'm a K11 guy, so i could be wrong.

you'll get good money for the parts mate, if the parts are in good condition i'd expect you to get from 500-900 in parts depending on what you sell. Arnold got about 900 for parts from a red usper a while back it had rusted so bad it had to be scrapped. working good condition super s's go for about 300-500 but to get 500 it would have to be perfect!

as a non runner i doubt you'll get much over £100 people dont like the hassle of changing engines even through its only a 3hour job, 4 bolts 4 pipes dirve shafts out job done done it enough times

How do you know thats the problem?
Could be a Mixture of problems
Ignition timing, and Ignition components, one spark plug could be earthing, or a lead could be rubbish, even new leads can be faulty.
Its always worth getting a New Dizzy cap, and i dont know if the K10's have Points, and such that Minis do but they frquently ###### up!

hi thanks for all the replies i have done numerous test ie new istrubutor, commpression test various leads and plugs etc all comes down to a bottom end problem think i will take the £130 a scrappy offered me shame but thats they way the cookie crumbles i suppose

 

[Arnold]

Let us know which scrappy it's going to!

Where abouts are you based and whats the condition of the chassis?

 

[alien10]

i'd have strip'd it and sold the good parts off

 

[furby]

hi its in eastbourne and the chassis is in excellent condition like i said few bubble rust on doors and engine apart from that its ok still run's btw

I cant think of anything on the bottom end that would prevent combustion....

bizzare

The complete lack of bottom end, hes diagnosed everything else so who are we to argue.

[furby]

only thing i can think of is maybea crack/hole in piston

furby

is there no compression on 1 cylinder then ?

 

[furby]

it has spark, compression fuel air which leads me to think its a broken piston/oil ring

 

[frank]

furby

if its got a spark and compression, i doubt its the piston or rings
could it be a broken rocker or misplaced pluglead (firing order) ?

 

[SammoHung]

or misplaced pluglead (firing order) ?

...good thought

 

[whipit]

So misfiring on one cylinder? Whip the spark plug out and post a picture up of it, don't clean it.
