Peugeot 205 shiter loan

[The Moog]

Later this week the little puglet will be coming back to Accrington.

 

I need to MOT it but otherwise it will be here collecting dust. I don't want to sell it as I am hoping that in a few months or so I can make it my daily driver.

 

So rather than it sitting here reminding Missus Puss about its presence - does anyone want to borrow a 1.8d 205 for a few months?

October through till march? ?

Maybe, I'm looking to sell the Scooby and will be after a running puglet.  May try and convince Mrs. L1 on a diesel too; does it veg, even slightly?

[The Moog]

Hoping to MOT it and lend in next few weeks. Missus Puss is going to get a new car so once she works out what she ends up with that will make the decision on whether the 205 stays long term.

I wouldn't really want it run on veg - I think Bucketeer is getting 56 mpg out of it so that should be good enough fuel economy wise. Part of issues when I got it I think were due to veg and don't want to ruin the pump on it.

I may have already solved* the veg friendly pug problem.  Ta!

im about to spend $1300 hiring a corsa for 6 weeks, to drive round britain. id love to do that in a 205 however mrs sloth will think differently...

[sloth]

I'd love to try a diesel 205, only ever had a 1.1 petrol. 

Sadly too many miles away and I think I may already be taking the pee with parking outside my flats!

I can't remember what state the brakes are in on this but I may have a full front set of discs and pads with less than 100 miles on them available for cheapness if you or the loaner need!

I have got a set of shiny new discs and pads ready to go on - was only £20 for both so rude not to.

Thanks for the offer though

Depends on how I feel when I get it back and drive it, I might do a swap for a galaxy ...

My other half and son would kill me if I did that! 

The Galaxy is like a family member now.

Due to the special and unique nature of Britain's motorways, I can now confirm that this thing is perfectly happy sitting in standstill/crawling traffic for four hours.

Apart from some minor French electrical eccentricities, I can't see anything short of a nuclear zombie apocalypse stopping it running until all the world's diesel supplies run out. Even then it'll plod on drinking veg oil. Hell, it feels like it would probably run fine on Vimto.

[Bucketeer]

I have now also discovered that the fuel guage is ever so slightly optimistic.

 

[BorniteIdentity]

I’ve wanted to try a Peugeot 205 for ages now, but the driveway is full and I can’t see that changing anytime soon. 

Someone will surely take this on a Foster Care Basis!

The fuel gauge in mine has a very Gaulic flair often varying from just above red to half a tank seemingly randomly in the course of a mile or two. I work on the grounds it’s somewhere in between and stick another tenner in to be sure.

Ohhh you were so near. Or so far depending where you were going!

[The Moog]

So near....

 

Golf to rescue

 

Spot the clag spot

 

Now recovering

Thats a big brandy ?

[chaseracer]

Not for Alex it's not... ?

[clayts450]

After I failed to win the Almera for my trusted colleague in the recent roffle, I've waved this under her nose.

Given it's age , I suspect I already know the answer.

Mind you, they've got an on loan Proton Wira at present, so maybe...

[clayts450]

Ah....

 

[The Moog]

There's no helping some people...

[Tamworthbay]

No offence but fuck em, offer of a free car on loan and they respond like that? They wouldn't get a second offer if it was me. You can't help some people.

And some people are really pleased to get an old 205 diesel, such as my daughter who, I even persuaded to do a Woollard

^^^^ Front fog lamps! Mega posh.

I hope she drives it with her pinky raised.

[loserone]

Fookin good car that.  Believe it's been sold on but is still running round the island

[The Moog]

This is going to be longer to MOT than I thought so on pause for now.

Yes, daughter sold it on to buy a Mk3 Mondeo TDCi which in turn made way for a 2015 Aygo.
205 is currently in Lerwick, owned by an old Shetland wife, I still see it around occasionally. I’m of half a mind to buy it back. I think it deserves to stay in the AS fold
