For Sale Peugeot 205 1.6 Auto - NOW FREE! (Because it's broken)

[garycox]

** EDIT - Now FREE or parts available very cheaply **

 

Anyone want this? It's pretty horrible, and issues include, but are not limited to:

 

- Needs a VIC check (I wasn't informed of this when i bought it), so I only have the green bit of the previous V5 and a letter from DVLA saying it needs a VIC.

- Suspected HGF (mayo on filler cap and coolant is grim)

- No radio

- Looks shit

 

It's MOTd til September, still drives OK at the moment, low indicated mileage (50k ish I think, with old MOTs etc to prove) and that's about all the good bits. Athough my friend did borrow it a couple of weeks back to go to Yorkshire for an emergency family errand and he's still alive and speaking to me. It's genuinely much better on the motorways than a K10 Micra or a Metro etc.

 

My plan (after I found out about the VIC and HG) was to run it until the MOT runs out, or the HG gets worse (whichever is sooner) and then scrap it. I have other working cars though so it's a bit unnecessary.

 

I have been told that the Auto bonnet with the power* bulge is worth* about £80, but obviously I have not researched this.

 

It's in LEWES, EAST SUSSEX

 

These pictures were taken AFTER I'd cleaned it (and removed the horrendous wheel trims) - you can guess how grim it was beforehand.

Joe to the beige courtesy phone.. Although I think it might be a bit far/grim for Mrs_KJ

[vulgalour]

That's hideous.

[Cavcraft]

Ken: cheap, southern and automatic enough for you?

[purplebargeken]

It's SMALL! Very SMALL. 

 

Too SMALL.

 

Close but no banana.

It's wor Will who's the 205 felcher. But he's never had an auto, or a five door, and to be honest, if he has another 205, he's told me it has to be a white three door "TurboD".

Soz.

No I'm not sorry, it's horrible, and I think PBK needs to make the purchase.

[garycox]

Here it is looking smug next to Barrett's broken Panhard at Stondon

 

 

And these lovely wheel trims are in the boot and will be included at NO EXTRA COST!

 

[Cavcraft]

Because it's a small automatic and because Peugeot engines seem incredibly 'good' at this sort of thing, I'd have thought there was a fighting chance the mayo is condensation, as opposed to headgasket.

[garycox]

Will's 1.9TD 205 is a 5dr innit?

[garycox]

I've not been behind it when I'm driving it obviously but a friend following me said there's a bit of (blue) smoke, not loads though.

[garycox]

Oh, I forgot this, I replaced this bit of pipe as the old one was leaking. You can see how horrible the coolant is by the stuff that's sprayed out (everywhere)

 

 

(I presume that's coolant, I don't actually know what that pipe is for)

[r.welfare]

Did you kick the back doors in after you cleaned it and binned the wheeltrims?

[skattrd]

Sorry Joe, I thought you were after a badermatic for the Mrs, and this would be a crossover vehicle for family KJ

[garycox]

:shock: :shock:

 

WTF!!

 

I hadn't noticed that the dent on the passger side wasn't there when I got it!

 

I've only had it a few weeks, how/where/who?

[KruJoe]

Sorry Joe, I thought you were after a badermatic for the Mrs, ..

 

Au contraire, I'd rather keep her out of automatics, she's just passed (manual test), I fear she'd get lazy, or begin to like autos, or both. Either way, there'd be no way back.

 

 

Will's 1.9TD 205 is a 5dr innit?

 

Not last time I checked...

 

[garycox]

I obviously don't pay much attention to Peugeot 205 rear doors.

[KruJoe]

What about 405 ones?

 

 

That's yours too, is it?

[strangeangel]

Shame you're so far away, I'd have had this for spares for my one in a flash

[KruJoe]

Wales... Shitefest swap?

[garycox]

Ha! Admittedly I did make the dent on the 405 while loading/unloading a load of stuff (not very carefully).

 

The one on the drivers side of the 205 was already there though. And the other one is just confusing. I assume it happened when my friend went to Yorkshire in it.

[garycox]

I'd drive it to Shitefest if you paid for the train back if I couldn't get a lift.

[Cavcraft]

I'd drive it to Shitefest if you paid for the train back if I couldn't get a lift.

 

 

FFS, don't say that, I could bike it up and drive that back home. 

[KruJoe]

Hey, that ^ could be a plan if ANY of us have something cheap and nasty to get rid of

[Cavcraft]

It'd like one of those Australian road trains, only instead of some 18 litre Scania and ten cargo trailers, it'd be a shit Vauxhall diesel and several old nails being dragged behind it, gradually shedding body parts, engines, oil and rust.  

[KruJoe]

I'll be bringing my A-frame, you can borrow it for a bit. You could get a few shuttle runs done while we're all in Wales. 

CAVCRAFT RE-STOCK

[Cavcraft]

Remember that nut case who drove up Snowdon in a Frontera? Let's all chip in a tenner and get Gary to do the same up the Horseshoe Pass slate mine thing in the 205.

[chaseracer]

And leave it at the Ponderosa...

 

[fred]

And look what you could have bought !
