dieselnutjob Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I am at Victoria station waiting for the 10:36 to Maidstone East to pick up my diesel Jag.Unless it explodes on the way home this means that the 607 is for sale.Currently it has mot until until Oct/Nov from memory, but I might take it to the local no pass no fee place and get 12 months on it.It has 180,000 miles.Light blue paint with good bodywork.Many, many toys which all work.A fancy removable tow hitch but I never got round to wiring it up, though I do have an official Peugeot wiring kit for it.It's a 2001 so flat rate tax.Dpf and cat removed and ecu reprogrammed to suit.Egr blanked off.No DMF as it's an auto.I have a spare set of rims with winter tyres. The tyre pressure sensors work on all 8 rims but you do have to reprogram them each time you swap, or ignore the warnings.The car has been neorotically maintained by me for the eight years and 120,000 miles I have owned it including a couple of transmission oil changes using the correct Esso Lt oil.Being a 2.2 it has the stronger Zf 4HP20 gearbox.It freaked me out over the winter by starting to loose coolant (about 1 litre in 400 miles) but a dose of K seal has totally stopped that.So why am I selling it?I have some cash now to buy something for the next ten years, but next year I will likely have a kid at uni, and then another and then another. Also I am expecting a drop in income, so it is now or never. In a few years time there won't be any decent x350 diesel jags left.With my mileage the 607 will be dead in a couple of years, and it's too good for that.The suspension is surprisingly hard and short travel (though the new front shocks are becoming more compliant now).It is a bit slow off the line. 1st gear is too tall and so the turbo doesn't wake up for ages. Once it's moving it's okay though and a brilliant motorway car.I'm not entirely sure that outing it is a good idea yet, but I have made my bed now...Photos and list of faults to follow.

dieselnutjob Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 The faults.It has always felt to me like the engine moves a bit more than it should, so maybe a dodgy engine mount.The mono screen is nearly unreadable. You can get replacements from bba reman. Also I have a colour screen and all the bits to fit it but I think that to colour screen ecu is programmed to radio cassette and I have GSM phone/ radio so that would need reprogramming.The ABS seems oversensitive at low speeds but no warning lights.One of the front caliper sliding pins keeps seizing up but currently it's greased up and free.A piece of plastic trim on the drivers seat is loose.The drivers door card is internally cracked where you rest your arm. You can't see it but you can feel it.The satnav voice is silent and the disc over ten years old, so basically useless.The steering height adjustment is sloppy. Edit: Now fixed.The front subframe and crossmember under the rad are a bit rusty but the MOT man seems OK with it.The driver door mirror folding action can be a bit sticky, especially when it's cold. I have a spare mirror though.The outside air temp sensor reads a few degrees too cold so you get ice warnings too soon.The boot carpet is filthy.The drivers door central locking occasionally sticks locked, you have to relocate and unlock again to open the door. It is very occasional though.The volume stalk is rubbish.Later on I will walk round the car and see what else I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselnutjob Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 The thing is, work is mad, the diagnostics business is mad.  I'm a bit off colour. I'm really not going to get that much more than that whatever I do, so I would rather sell it on here to a low hassle buyer. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselnutjob Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 I will say, it does look nice though. Â I don't think that there is a dent or scratch on it. Â It also drives quite well. Pics tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselnutjob Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Nexen tyres all round, which are actually quite reasonable, better than most budgets I would say. About 3-4mm on the front and 4-5mm on the back, worn nice and evenly. It's probably time to swap front to back to maximise their life.

panhard65 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I am really tempted by this, if its anything like the 806 then it will of been seriously well looked after. If its still here when I get back from France I will see what I can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselnutjob Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Photos This one shows the LEDs that I buried inside the front fogs (which still work as normal).  They are a bit brighter than the photo shows.        The wheels do have some paint damage.  I painted them with ordinary celulose silver base and two pack laquer, I have the paint code so the can be touched up with the same colour (it's the same colour as the bodywork of the 806 that we had).     There's a funny bit on the rear wing next to the tailgate where the paint came out matt The paint has bubbled on the trim between front and back windows.  I think that these are aluminium I scratched the edge of the door mirror a few weeks ago Front bumper corners  Trim lifting on drivers door, it's been like that for eight years The interior is excellent, no tears or wear on the seats. They are as comfortable as they look   There is a corner on the drivers seat where the elastic won't hold the fabric on properly Knackered display, replacements available from BBA Reman Tiptronic 4 speed auto Drivers door card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
