Whats your history?

[r.welfare]

Tell me more about the Xantia dizzler-bifterstick j-j, this must be an exceptionally slow (but comfortable) conveyance.

[j-j]

Quite right Mr W, it is a wonderfully slow beast. BTW, I didn't choose a no turbo diesel auto, but the car has only done 28K from new (!) and was going free to collector, ( old boy died in June and the daughter is moving back to Oz - they just gave it away) So it has the economy AND performance of a 2CV so it's a novelty enough for me! It has a superb interior - spotless, engine bay all clean as is the underside. Lots of old boy dents on the sides though. Needed new spheres and I put a new airfilter and 3 wiper blades on it, it's getting better. I'll change the cambelt to be on the safe side - it's only done 28K but it IS 12 years old.. I say it's slow, but give it some diesely revs and it does pull away very strongly - it's not embarrasingly slow.It's slow but I'm already quite fond of it - the CX is dangerously close to being a 'classic' but the 12 Y O Zant is happy old shite..

Hey man, you can't argue with £0. Good save! Reason I was interested is because PSA seemed to be the only company* back in the 80s/90s that allowed you to buy a DERVer with a self-shifter, other than Mercedes (and later BMW). Old-boy dents are always a bit of a letdown when the rest of the motor is mint, my 323 was like that.* Looking through an old copy of Motor yesterday it seems that you could get an Audi 80 diesel in the early 80's with a three-speed auto, but I reckon this was continent-only. What shite that would be though!

[mr-reno-139]

hi every body again met the famous nigel bickle the other day (name dropping here)decided we are all mad when i last read this post it was about car collecting ,anyway as you are now on about diesel autos just to let you know renault also listed R18 diesel auto in 1981 never seen one mind, may be france only sold my dad my diesel safrane auto 3 yrs ago thats also very slow when cold pulling away but lovely on a run oh yes remembered going to post this photo collection i found on Flickr user name sd1-3500 you have been warned !!ps maybe he is registered here as wellhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/s_s_models ... 258343782/

[Mr Lobster]

,anyway as you are now on about diesel autos just to let you know renault also listed R18 diesel auto in 1981 never seen one mind, may be france only

Almost certain is wasn't an option here. They also sold the Fuego as a TD which we were spared....

They did the R18 as a TD too - don't think it was ever sold over here either, but a mate of mine in France had one and it was brilliant. Amazingly quick. Wouldn't have sounded right in a Fuego though...

[mr-reno-139]

well if we are going into rare odd renaults 1980s style i will let you know i had one of very few R30 turbo diesels RHD y reg about 10 yrs ago bit tatty, so put engine and box into 25 monaco *friend* borrowed it and cooked it so had to scrap that as well followed it up with £400 friday ad LHD 25 turbo Dbroke that up when iwas desperate for espace engine 2 yrs ago now ive got a scrap espace diesel spose i better fix 25 limo !!

[j-j]

I rekon diseasel autos are pretty rare because they're such a chronically silly product! Turbo diesel -maybe- if you're mental but non turbo deezel auto like mine and you're beyond help

[Guest]

How long have you had the GS, Wat? I must've missed that one somehow...

 

Was on the QT for a while. Still is really. Not point in hiding it though, I bought it last year and still haven't got the log book off the two eminent BX types who 'can't find' it.

[explosive-cabbage]

Considering Peugeot produced approx 8 million 205s and they were a pretty good all round car, I would expect to see more on your lists.

 

I will correct your ways, here's my addition.

 

Passed my test 1/8/2008

1992 Peugeot 205 Trio 1.1 Grey - Owned for 7 days then drove to south Wales to swap for:

1994 Peugeot 205 STDT 1.8TD Sorrento Green - Owned for 5 days then written off.

1995 Peugeot 205 Mardi Gras 1.8TD White - Once fitted 8 people in this car! Brilliant loyal liuttle motor until it blew up.

1994 Peugeot 205 Sceptre 1.8TD White - The Twins! These two cars were purchased for the purpose they were IDENTICAL to each

1994 Peugeot 205 Sceptre 1.8TD White - other. Even I got confused as to which car the plates really belonged on....

1992 Peugeot 205 XRDT 1.8TD White - 100 quid! Bought, ran out of fuel AND crashed within 10 minutes. Wrote off within a fortnight.

1990 Peugeot 205 XS 1.4 White - Went like greased shit. Owned for 6 weeks then wrote off in a massive pile-up.

1992 Peugeot 205 XS 1.4 Grey - Good looking and fast. Ran sub-1 minute hill climb at Prescott! Lasted 10 months. Engine blew to bits.

1996 Lada Niva 1.7i - Lasted 7 months already! Fingers crossed. Brilliant offroad!

 

I changed 11 head gaskets on the 205 TDs in total, some lasting only 2 weeks before having to be re-done. I kept doing that until all the blocks/heads were too warped to take any more then was forced to scrap the lot and succumb to pez I could change the head gasket on my own in less than 6 hours and an engine in less than 8. Those were the days! I learned all practical knowledge with trial and error and a little help from Haynes Manuals!

I have had very few cars compared to most, mainly because I tend to keep them....

The first one I actually had to my name was a 1973 VW K70L, followed by:

1985 Audi 90CD

1983 BMW 635CSi (and for, about four years, a 1973 NSU Ro80 during the BMW period)

2004 VW Borat TDi 100 and 1988 Citroen CX GTi Auto - the current pairing which I suspect is going to remain for a good long while because there's very little out there that would interest me, unless it was another NSU Ro80 (but that's unlikely to happen now).
