skattrd Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ex- Wuv, ex-Bramz turbo diesel 205 I've not had it long, but since having it I've fitted a new front wishbone (yes another) a drop link, and a CV boot. This means it clonks less going over bumps now.If I was keeping it I would change the tyres (mis-matched budgets, all legal) and sort out the wiring for the horn and rear de-mist, but that's about it.It's definitely a 10 footer, it looks gr9 from a distance, but less good close up. It's basically the same as it was when Wuv had it apart from the new front suspension bits:http://autoshite.com/topic/32849-peugeot-205-sceptre-td-£750-a-ticket-norfolk It still starts first time, goes well, it's just not me. With the recent purchase of the e36 my quota for red diesel cars has been filled, plus I have the Clio for the small French category. Price £500Location - near Bourne LincsMOT - June 2019 Pics ..

plasticvandan Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 What's the score with the front end?does it still need tracking/any other bits? This would fill my diesel daily requirements nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Tracking might be worth doing as I didn't get that done, but it drives straight and doesn't clonk since I had the wishbone & drop-link changed.There is a drop-link and track rod end included, these were left over as my local garage said they weren't needed. White trims are in the boot so I didn't lose them.Central locking works on the doors, but not the boot, I consider this a security feature.

pandamonium Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Love it. Does fuel economy outweigh the higher cost of diesel on these? Not that I'd consider another car so soon after purchasing one, that's not the way to do things on here is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Probably the quickest Turbo XUD I have ever driven. Second gear is insanely tall and it just flies when the turbo wakes up, and I was doing this when the front suspension was a bit wobby..... I bet it's a good one now.

blackboilersuit Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Is there any history of a timing belt change? Not asking for or expecting to get the moon on a stick given the very fair price but collection mileage would be considerable and my luck with roulette is abysmal!

skattrd Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Sorry, but I have no knowledge of a timing belt change and unless you have an automatic Subaru estate (with a turbo) I'm not really interested in swaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
