Cavcraft Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Welcome to Eurocrap, a division of Cavcraft, CorsaEnterprise.co.Albania and Looming-Divorce. Today, being the lucky* Mrs Saviour's and mine wedding anniversary, I woke up pot-less, card-less and present-less and recalled the date. Got enough VAM (Vectra ashtray money) to buy a top quality* anniversary card and precious little else. Anyhow, the reason for this is that last night I did that thing that all sensible people do when they're skint, they buy another car. So, for sale is the following: 1995 Pewjot 106 1.4 (1369) XR petrol.MOT January 2015. Yes! Two thousand and fifteen!Taxed until the end of July 2014!Just 54,000 showing on the clock, condition of car suggests it's genuine but I have no proof that it is.5 speed box.Nasty looking after market CD player.No power steering but I 'll just blow the tyres up to 45psi and tell you it's really light anyhow and make sure I reverse park it first.Seems to run great (approximately 5.1 miles so far)Insurance should be dirt cheap.Had a complete new exhaust fitted inc. cat.Very clean and tidy car. Known faults: There's a slight blow from exhaust. As it's a full new system I'd like to think it's just something daft like a gasket or join. The last owner said it was because it wasn't a genuine (Peugeot) part exhaust, make of that what you will.The ABS light is on. This made me LOL a bit because I wouldn't have thought a 1995 106 would even have ABS, but the car stops fine as it is. I think £325 should be a pretty fair price for a quite poplier little car that should do someone a good turn and has plenty of MOT and a bit of tax.

phil_lihp Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Where do you keep finding these little bargains? Lovely little cars, only ever driven the 1.5D which was asthmatically slow but uber frugal, I'd imagine the 1.4 moves pretty well considering how light these are.

Cavcraft Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Some people are fanny magnets, I'm a shit car magnet. Came to work in this today and it was brilliant. Couple of miles down some country lanes then mix of A and B roads and it seems GR8.Will investigate ABS light if/when we get chance but the brakes are fine and I don't know where the FCR port is on the car anyhow!

cort16 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 ABS stands for Agonising Bollock Stab. It's just highlighting what he's going to get from MrsCo for buying it. scruff and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saucedoctor Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 You'd know where the port for the fault code reader was if you used the Autodata disc I sent you, you silly old duffer. It's a 2 pin effort, but fuck knows where it actually is. Engine bay near the fan is my guess. But it might not connect to the ABS anyway. I bet the exhaust is a motor factors job. They never fit together properly first time, cos motor factors staff are always knocking them over. Now see here. WARNING:MASSIVE PICTURES INCOMING.

saucedoctor Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ask him about Shit the Squirrel or Wank the Wombat. Maybe ask him does he refer to the wife as "Spit" or "Swallow" burraston2006, warren t claim and Cavcraft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to know more about this. Turns out it's a candle shop. Bob is full of helpful advice, for example: Before positioning a candle, always look around where you want to put it and ask yourself,"Will it be in a draught?"."Can anything around it blow into the flame?"."Is it secure and upright?"."Is it out of direct sunlight?".Think Safety!

filthyjohn Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I bet that's a MASSIVE HEWT to drive. I adored my 205 XS with similar 1.4 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Aye, it's grand. Quite sedate really so easy to drive 'normally' but if you welly it, it goes v.well. My lad reckons his FCR is 'too modern' to detect the ABS light being on, and says his money is on a sensor or wire to the same. It doesn't make any difference to how the car drives or stops so we're not really arsed tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucedoctor Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The young man is correct. This car operates the old "count the number of flashes" type of diagnostics. Having perused the fault code table for this type, there's naff all in it about ABS. It's all fuel and ignition. Pub Trivia: Pre 1992 Rover R8s with the Jap engine had wee coloured LEDs in the side of the ECU for this purpose. R8s with proper engines had a breakout box.

Cavcraft Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 In a moment of madness I have reduced the price to £300.99. Yes, that's just three hundred pounds and ninety nine pence, an incredible saving of £24.01. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 It's either not one or it's a sensor it would seem but that's based on Internet searching. I drove another few miles yesterday and it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucedoctor Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I dunno if those things in particular have volatile memory Cav, but a lot of 90s French chod does. Disconnecting the battery for an hour will reset the brain. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
