[loserone]

As per title, anyone over this way able to cast their eyes over an unexpected eBay win?

[bramz7]

Yeah pretty close,  what did you win? Wasn't a 406 was it? 

[Wingz123]

Yes I am...and I have Weds off...

[loserone]

Not a 406.

 

Asking for details of when who what and how broken, watch this space.  

[Wingz123]

PM me if you want me to go and have a look....

[Alan_Green]

I'm very close.  And I know what it is!

[mitsisigma01]

Depends which Hook you are on about???? 

Tell us more 

[loserone]

It does not look good 

 

For my bank balance or marital harmony.

[mitsisigma01]

Basingstoke ish rather than Locks Heath, Fareham ish then?

[loserone]

Thanks for all the assistance @Alan_Green.  Absolute legend for checking it over and dealing with the nice lady for me.

 

 

Now over to the right honourable mister Fluffyballs 

[loserone]

@Mr Fluffyballs And Colin! 

Apparently it's nippy.

[Cavcraft]

The LACS sticker alone makes it worthwhile.

[Jim Bell]

That's not Colin.

Chinese copy; the conkas and finchies weren't faxed over I'm afraid.

[Mr Fluffyballs]

Colin is my apprentice. Unfortunate coincidence with the name. He's an idiot.

And now I'm awake.  Oh dear

[loserone]

And it's here.

320 miles later there's still a third of a tank and @Mr Fluffyballs is on the train home.

 

Review later when I've had some kip, after work.  

 

[Jim Bell]

Looks nice man. 

Do I road test vid!

[beko1987]

Oooh same colour as my old 206! Lovely cars, and yours is the right age for less electrical fuckery! 

[loserone]

Yeah, it not being multiplexed was a big part of the appeal

 

Feels tight for it's near 150K.  

• boot rattles.  Boot catch just needs adjusting
• rev counter 'sticks' a little, but I only really noticed by watching carefully whilst it someone else drove
• the radio cuts in and our whilst driving.  If it's quiet whilst stationary, it can be fixed by tapping the front.  Dry joint?
• Under the back seats is damp / sticky / full of tissues.
• steering and gearshift are light and lacking in feel.  Not terrible though.
• It's a smoll car with a 2.0 EW10.
• No paperwork at all.

Very welcoming group of people doggers, evidently it's not the size of your vehicle that matters, must be the taking part.

Lunchtime explore

A colleague with a 2007 Audi A3 quattro and a V8 MG magnette thought it was a 56 plate.

 

The boot carpet and under the back seats are definitely a bit damp.  Not as bad as the 306 though!

[bigfella2]

Usually the rattly boot is the boot catch, when we had ours we had to replace the catch twice, as it couldn't be adjusted to stop the rattle, I think they got modified later on.

Even though the 206 got a bad rep and the GTi version especially there not a bad car, quite enjoyed the one we had, was also a v reg, but in firedance orange.

[loserone]

The catch is adjustable on this one thankfully!

 

Quite impressed so far. Will have to see what Mrs L1 thinks
