Cavcraft Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 1998 ( might be 1997) Peugeot 106 automatic.1.4 petrolMOT September I thinkPower steeringSunroof98,000 milesIncredibly clean/tidy only had 4 ownersStarts and runs, gearbox works fine but head gasket has blown.Will need to be trailered or recovered away as automatic.You could drive I suppose but good luck with that one Back bumper was my fault because an idiot. Door locks work (central locking) using the key but it's a bit stiff.Anyhow, it's a great car with loads of life in it still once you've fixed HG. Autoshite price is....£180, collected from Chester. I think that's pretty fair as fixed it surely has to be worth between £450-£595, small nice autos always command a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dome Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Head gaskets on these are a piece of piss, I had change from £100 doing one a few tears ago including a skim. I would but I've had 3 of the things scruff and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 My lad is off this week (so am I) so we might have it fixed, but he works long/daft hours fixing mechanical things so I don't really want to mither him to do it. Won't hurt to ask once, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 It's possibly worth K-seal and the auctions, but I'd rather fix it properly or sell it 'as is' and let someone else decide what they want to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Billy, k-seal it, it'll be fine after that. It's a nice car, but the work will be wasted on gumtree pond life. Bamboocarman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Why don't you have a crack at fixing it Billy? Your lad could operate as a consultant. I reckon it will be a pretty straightforward job. Cavcraft and alf892 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I reckon that'd be quite a nice car for someone who is already up to the level of doing their own brakes and balljoints to graduate to Shite-Artist Level 3* and attempt a head gasket. It's not like you're feet-first into a KV6 or something, and worst case you lose a few quid and sell it on with the head in the boot. I've spun the Wheel of Excuses and it came up with "You're too far away to trailer it back" so it's only an observation rather than a binding contract, like, but I can't think of many cars that would be easier to fix up, and look smart. *Shite-Artist Level 2 is track rod ends, brakes, balljoints, engine ancillaries and winder regulators.Shite-Artist Level 1 is putting oil in and taking it for new tyres.Shite-Artist Level 4 is replacing an engine or fitting tyres to rims using nothing more than a plastic spork and some KY JellyShite-Artist Level 5 is getting a Laguna Auto diesel running for more than a week. saucedoctor, filthyjohn, catsinthewelder and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I came home thinking about getting missus moog to swap her civic for this as I would rather deal with hgf than Lucas magic. Sadly/positively (delete as applicable) she has declared herself liking the civic now it is.much quicker and drinking less than Gazza (other fading stars available). So I was in, out, shake it all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 My lad said he'd do it, but now he's busy tomorrow, on the piss tomorrow night and out on Thursday.
