Manual GLT saloon swap/px for GLT Auto estate
I just got this GLT saloon a couple of weeks ago, it's fine I love it.
I will drive it until whenever I can swap or px it for a GLT auto estate, which I find more useful and have a spare gearbox and a full trade rack for. I am in Manchester. Please note that I could swap it for an auto estate with a wrecked gearbox. There was a leak from the heater feed pipe that has been fixed. I think it will get a new thermostat soon (heater is blowing cold, but the engine is not overheating). Radio works, but I have been told there is a fault with the cassette. I use a radio mp3 plugged into the cig. lighter. I have put photos of the car on my web: http://www.coffinman.co.uk/240_glt_saloon.htm I can't send PMs yet because I haven't made 30 posts. If you want to email me direct there is a link at the top of that page. |

That's a cracking colour combo that blue with beige leather
Cassette packing up is common, as too is the rusty patch around the lower rear window on saloons. Good luck & all the best

Neither of mine do .... yet. Does anyone know why it occurs and what steps can be taken to avoid it. I wonder what exactly is the failure point for rust to start there. Hoping to avoid on mine. Colin

I don't know for sure the reason, but always thought it was due to the sunroof drain channels being blocked causing the water to 'stack up' in the pipes & overflow. The drains run down the C pillar IIRC. Looking again at the pics of this one, I think the 3rd pic from the bottom shows it does have a sunroof. Also I remember, after washing or after a rainfall the water can form a 'puddle' on the rear screen rubber & the screen at exactly that point if parked on an angle. I guess that won't help. HTH's
