Sold Peugeot 106 automatic, anyone? Loads of MOT with recon'd head £200!

[Cavcraft]

1998 ( might be 1997) Peugeot 106 automatic.

1.4 petrol

MOT September I think

Power steering

Sunroof

98,000 miles

Incredibly clean/tidy only had 4 owners

Starts 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.

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

Was it worth the crying?

[Cavcraft]

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!

[JohnK]

Can't you just 'Boj' it?

[vulgalour]

I bet Chompy would love to break down spectacularly somewhere for no reason in that.

[warren t claim]

K Seal, Gumtree and disposable SIM card?

[JohnK]

And park around the corner on a different housing estate.

 

I'm not talking from experience - honest...

[fordperv]

Love the number plate

[Cavcraft]

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.

[Station]

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.

[Cavcraft]

I'd ebay it, I reckon if fixed.

 

 

 

JohnK: I bloody hope you're not talking from experience anymore!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

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.

[Pillock]

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 Jelly

Shite-Artist Level 5 is getting a Laguna Auto diesel running for more than a week.

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.

[Cavcraft]

My lad said he'd do it, but now he's busy tomorrow, on the piss tomorrow night and out on Thursday. He goes back to work on Friday, do you think he's trying to tell me something?

[KruJoe]

Good lad!

[Cavcraft]

It's my birthday present from him. Not far off the head being removed now, going to try and get it skimmed today, get head gasket kit, oil, filter, thermostat etc then pray it's ready to go back on tomorrow.

[Cavcraft]

Head off, off to engine centre for skim now. Collect new gaskets etc on way back.

[KruJoe]

Happy birthday to you,

Your head looks like new,

Little Peugeot is poorly,

Let us hope it pulls through.

[Cavcraft]

Thank you so much, KruJoe

Your words fill my nights

Would you like to buy a Corsa,

it's got Lexus lights?

[KruJoe]

A fucked-over Corsa, a bargain price,

Bright blue and alloys, it once looked quite nice.

Rescued from an illiterate mouth breather...

Your daughter doesn't want it? I don't either!

[OwdChina]

LOLs.................From now on we should all converse in sarcastic rhyme.

[greengartside]

There was once a man called Bill,

Who sold shite cars at will,

He blew up a Pug,

And felt like a mug,

But bought a Corsa that's brill.

[Cavcraft]

Head is ready for collection tomorrow, gasket kit etc to hand. Annoyingly they haven't got a cam belt in stock, so will have to try some other places.

A crashed Kalos and a Megane,

That's how Billy's year began.

Then there's the Astra,

(Not a disaster)

It's now with my relative, Anne!

[OwdChina]

Excellent !...............Didn't we once have a shite poets society on here way back ?

[The Moog]

Its an autoshite rap battle... It should be turned into a film called 9 Miles (to da gallon)
