In preparation for the Peugeot takeover...
« on: 16 February 2017, 01:30:48 »
...I have today purchased a Peugeot/Vauxhall OOF compliant car, for the frankly extortionate sum of £205.  :D

Exhibit A muh lord :



160k Miles... yeah right! and the rest! Must have been clocked before 2006 as the MOT history adds up. Clearly been a taxi for some of it's life.

Yuck Fou  :)

There's even a little gauge on the dash that tells you how much smoke fluid is in reserve  ;D

If it's the diseasel then the 90's had no dmf (but are pretty sedate). The 110's are better but come with dmf. Still at £200 I doubt you'll be too bothered and at 160k it's probably already had one!

I ran a 110 hdi 406 to 230k and it still drove superbly when I sold it right up till the new keeper took on a lorry and lost :-X :-\

It's certainly sedate. Takes an eternity to get up to motorway speed but once it's there it chumps along just fine. Handling is erm... slithery... but it isn't phased by potholes at all. XUDT engine, S reg.

Pretty sure that engine will run on 100%, as long as it has a Bosch pump. Could be very cheap motoring.  ;)
