Roffle Peugeot 106 1.5D *!!Collected!!*

[Kiltox]

He is keeping it!

Of course. Just like all the others.

[overrun]

Of course. Just like all the others.

You thought I did a serious.

Les clocks arivez avec Cobblers graft.

 

 

 

 

 

Many bonjours to kind Cobblers for sacrificing his sandwhich time to add electric string to the pertinent areas of this old clockset. UPS delivered them safely to a corner shop a couple of miles from my house last night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sun is begining to rise as I type so Im gonna do a thick brown piss then pop out and fit dis muvva fucka.

 

 

Lets see what happen.

[M'coli]

 

M'Coli has one, which I believe is currently "on the naughty step". Maybe you should have a word with him.

 

 

 

The red one. It has been Bosched, it used to live here at Castle_Cleland.

Yeah, it's on the naughty step at the moment. Needs the rear brakes finishing off (new cylinders) and a driveshaft fitting but it's mot'd until August.

[vaughant]

I had one back in 97/98 and it was dreadful, engine went bang after 9 months of ownership on a 3 years old vehicle, crankshaft oil seal failed, oil and temp lamp gave a quick flash as it cut out, it did start again but the damage was done.

A long dispute with the pug dealer (who was dreadful) and it ended up getting scrapped with me £4000 out of pocket, nice.

 

Even at 36k it had no handling, the thing leaned so much you could get it from full tank to light on with a reasonable bend!!!

 

Slow and noisy it's only real bonus was the economy was immense although probably no better than a polo TDI or my seat Leon in real terms unless you limit your speed to 70 odd.

 

No appeal whatsoever to me but each to their own.

[Jim Bell]

Breaking news just in from our south of scotland roving reporter.

 

 

[M'coli]

Get in!

[Jim Bell]

And then there was light.

 

And the light was good and it did light up the morn in the shape of a little car battery.

 

Its a bright new day on south tyneside.

 

[Jim Bell]

Now. Lets see whats ACTUALLY happening.

 

 

Under das hood.

 

 

Follow me and I will show unto you the wonders of the numbers.

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Smoll clock of lies seems happier. 14 point something. Many improves. Such electric.

 

[Jim Bell]

Refitting is the reverse procedure of removal.

 

 

Clip clip, turn turn.

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

As with all jobs well done, the car awarded me with a small prze/reward. A bonus leftover screw!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes! Pro job.

 

 

 

 

 

I dont have time to do any more fannying as I have to eff orf to work. All seems reasonably well though. Tommorow will be reatatchment of back box, new tyres anf the applucation of period decals.

 

 

 

Big big thanks again to Cobblers for putting right all the wrongs with his wizbit skills.

[Craig the Princess]

Loving the early morning car fixage.

[beko1987]

Top work, I wish I achieved so much in the mornings!

[SiC]

Woo! Awesome!

 

Volts are a bit high (as long as your meter is accurate though).

[Jim Bell]

It may still want a new alternator/voltage regulator. Could be what killed the clocks in the first place?

 

Would that make any sense?

[barefoot]

I am so happy.

[cobblers]

It may still want a new alternator/voltage regulator. Could be what killed the clocks in the first place?

 

Would that make any sense?

I wouldn't have thought so. Whether the alt light is ground or 14 or even 30 volts it wouldn't do the damage I saw, I reckon the bulb has shorted out or something.

[SiC]

It may still want a new alternator/voltage regulator. Could be what killed the clocks in the first place?

 

Would that make any sense?

Plausible that it could cause some of it to get a bit hotter, but then it's not ridiculously out. Just seems to me to be on a tad side for idle. However battery maybe heavily discharged too. What voltage is it producing at around 2k?

 

At least there isn't a whole lot of electronics to get fried if the battery voltage is a bit high!

[Rusty_Rocket]

Yes! Nice repair! Keep an eye on the alt/ small blue display of many lcds 

[Jim Bell]

It does idle a bit high. Maybe someone adjusted it up to try and improve charging not understanding what was happening?

I cant check anything right now but Ill see what amount of electric is showing on meter at higher revs tomorrow.

[Rusty_Rocket]

The high idle is most likely to be a seized cold start cable. Slacken the cable clip at the pump and the small advance lever should spring back to its hot idle position!

[Jim Bell]

Er. Is that a little key shaped clip like what you would see holding a rc car body on?

[Dave_Q]

Top fixage, big kudos to Cobblaz, what a ledge.

 

Also praise be to Electron - he is a vengeful god who must be appeased.

[The Moog]

Mucho electrical mastery on here...

[overrun]

 

Well in there Cobbla, la!

High smiles 2 WilsonnosliW & a mighty WELCOME BACK to the small designer dog car!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jim Bell]

Itll be back on the black tmorro. Just in time for a run up the countryside.

[Noel Tidybeard]

[UltraWomble]

YAY - Numbers 1 to 58 inclusive when you are ready....

[loserone]

Itll be back on the black tmorro. Just in time for a run up the countryside.

 

Ooh, a collection?
