Cartakeback says £120 - that would be a shame as it is not a bad little runabout and defo wbod 2017/18 £80 to the first shitter to rock up with the reddies Not a whole lots has changed with it, the gearbos still grumbles.the mirror has been replacedas have brakes all round and discs at the frontrefixed the front bumper and front wings Paintwork isnt bad at all, some dings and scratches on it but ok at 10 pacesInterior is all there Passenger airbag light comes on sometimes this is what the rear trailing arm bushes look like, might need some attention for mot eddyramrod and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm finding it hard to believe that a 307, which I still regard as a New Car, is not only 15 years old, but also worth so little!

Arthur Foxhake Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Collected today and fired straight in for MOT. Failed on brake light bulbs, headlight aim, wanky indicator stalk and emissions. Hopefully a clean up of the throttle body and new lambda sensor will sort it.Mostly easy stuff, and less than I was expecting on an £80 car. beko1987, richardthestag, stephen01 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeConcern Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It's a nice colour! These are basically the same as the C4 and as some may know my old VTS did over 197000 miles and it still had the original rear trailing arm bushes etc. I know the VTS has a beefed up torsion bar, but still they do seem to last better than previous gen Pugs/Citroens.Not sure what indicator stalk this has, but I have one from a VTS (so it has auto wipers/lights) and you can have it for less than cheapest ebay ad if you want it. Edit; scratch that, I've just seen there is a proper Shite fix for the indicator stalk outlined in the link at the top of the page.

Cleon-Fonte Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The rear suspension lasting better than old PSA stuff is down to the use of a cheap and cheerful torsion beam in place of the ingenious old trailing arm/torsion bar setup, meaning no trailing arm bearings to fail.

Yeah I wired those 6x9s up and one worked but sounds terrible and the other didn't work at all. I also have no idea how to operate the stereo either. It drives nicely though. richardthestag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardthestag Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 having a think about emissions last night, like you do! The car has not seen a decent engine service in the time that I owned it, probably not with 83c did either. New air filter will not hurt the emissions readout before you start down lambda sensors etc Arthur Foxhake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardthestag Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Is bog roll in the indicator stalk a bit like 20p in the handbrake? it sorts the left indicator coming on randomly. so rather than preventing something from working like 20p in the handbrake it fixes something. Not entirely sure why it should be an mot fail though as it does work but doesnt always self cancel Lacquer Peel and oldcars 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Foxhake Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Indicator stalks replaced, all bulbs replaced, air filter replaced, filled up with cataclean, cleaned interior with the door open, light on, battery flat. Dead. Will not restart, even with a massive pajero battery. Diagnostics have been applied all afternoon to no avail. Shit. At least I won't lose any money on it I suppose. That's what you get for trying to make things better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I guess you didn't do the proper BSI shutdown procedure before disconnecting the battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Foxhake Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 You don't get a chance when it goes flat with the interior light on. No power at all, not even enough to lock it.I was even listening to 6 music on my DeWalt battery radio and not using the car stereo. Fuck it, it's not a massive problem, I'll just buy something else and weigh it in and get my money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Connect a battery. Open the drivers window and the bonnet. Get out of the car and shut the door. Turn the ignition off and remove the key. Wait 5 minutes Disconnect the battery Wait 5 minutes Reconnect the battery Through the open window, insert the key and turn the ignition on ( do not start the engine ) Press the lock and unlock buttons on the key and verify the central locking works Get in, close the door and start the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If the battery is fully charged and it goes into economy mode even after doing a BSI reset the BSI is probably fucked Lexia can do a "proper" BSI reset too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried the above. Also, the plipper doesn't work on the key so not much use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I think he said on the News 24 thread that it does crank.Immobiliser then most likely - Lexia should show codes for trying to start it "without" the key (and also shows immobiliser chip present / not present) Sensor ring on the barrel or the key itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 BSI spews out a shit ton of fault codes when it goes down usually Loads of unrelated shit. You tried putting it into transport mode and then back into customer mode using the shunt on the BSI? Usually forces it out of economy mode for one or two ignition cycles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Foxhake Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Or key, as above. Not spending money on it or towing it to the closest Pug shop (8 miles).Spoke to Peugeot earlier, "£110 to put it on diagnostics, £80 an hour to rectify faults, shall we book you in sir?“How about, no.
