scruff Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 The free Puglet had to vacate the Canterish bosum this morning, as I had a (shitey) Porsche to move, but I got home in enough time to give it a dose of looking at (with some ratchet straps, lumps of wood and big hammers). That side isn't too bad on the banger scale but the passenger side is worse. The Ocado van or whatever it was took no prisoners here, the inner arch is seperated from the outer skin but at least that gives access to the inside of the panel. Once I can tax it I will press it into use, I love 205s and had been thinking about another for a while as the RR is still broken, SORNed and likely to stay that way and while I will drive the Land Rover anywhere it isn't really ideal as it does 20mpg and 50mph. Oh and the radiator is buggered, which means the only transport I have is the wife's Panda (which she needs for work) and a Mitsubishi Canter 3.5 ton lorry which isn't ideal for popping to the shops.If and when I no longer need the 205 it'll be offered on here for the same price, £Nil.

KruJoe Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Predictably, that's looking loads better. Good work sir!
Guest Breadvan72 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Apols for delay on tax - docs in my study which is very untidy and I am in London. Will locate asap.
scruff Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 This thing is still crackling into life every morning and has been utterly great! I have only filled it up twice since it arrived and get just under 500 miles to a fill up, so as you can see I have not done mega miles in it. I have had to put a new exhaust on or more correctly, I got the local garage to do it, who were amused at my battered jalopy and told me at length how they "used to do loads of these" but hadn't seen one for ages and what a struggle it was to get the bits yada yada The furthest I have been in it is Nottingham but I am seriously thinking of spanking it down to SW France to see my mate Drew, I'm sure it would get there and back no problem. Has anyone got a tow bar to fit it...? Sigmund Fraud, DVee8 and KruJoe 3
chaseracer Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Has anyone got a tow bar to fit it...? I was talking with jonathan_dyane of this electronic parish about buying his, but if you can use it feel free to contact him
garethj Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 When I owned this I drove it from Bedfordshire to Brighton and back in a day, it wasn't particularly fast on the motorway but never felt like it would have a problem. If you take it on French motorways you pretty much pin the throttle and wait until you arrive at your destination.
Six-cylinder Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 The furthest I have been in it is Nottingham but I am seriously thinking of spanking it down to SW France to see my mate Drew, I'm sure it would get there and back no problem. I believe my Visa has the same 60 bhp diesel non turbo power unit and I take that to France/Holland most years. I aim to cruise at 75mph but often have to rein it in. The slow bit is getting up to speed which confuses traffic into thinking you are very slow, but sometimes when it is busy it is easer to hold lane speed of 130kph + and that quite comfortably. So take it and enjoy great fuel economy at lower diesel prices than the UK.
castros_bro Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I was after that slim line 205 to take the slow lane through Frogland, Espain, Portugal, Espain and couple of boats to here http://autoshite.com/topic/16001-joe-le-taxi-spottage-de-la-maroc/?hl=castros_bro&do=findComment&comment=528225 and then back to my derelict shed in Portugal If it becomes excess to requirements PM me a postcard please.
