It’s Wednesday evening. It’s dark, it’s raining. This led to purchase. French Fancy vol 2

As above. 10 miles away. Something tasty from Faceache muppetplace.

A cake?

I bought something.

 

Have a guess.

That looks very PSA, very possibly Citroen C2/C3 as they use the same dash.

Do spill the beans sir

Indeed. Another C2. In a whopping 1.1TU 60-something horsepower flavour. All of 10 miles away so a full-on* caper for this one.

No snow in Chichester. Sadly. There was 8 miles north in Midhurst. As soon as the snow reaches anywhere near Goodwood, Lord March tells it to bugger off. Handful of flakes if that

Vendor’s photo:

Comes with aftermarket rude-boy air filter, a mild fart-cannon exhaust, 2 keys and a book stamped up to 95k. It’s on 101k now and has ticket until August, with a very clean test record.

List of jobs on this car is quite small, thankfully. New wipers fotted this afternoon.

- cam belt. Unknown when last done
- clutch adjustment. May actually need a new one as the bite is quite high.
- rude-boy air filter replaced by stock item. It’s a 60hp TU1A. It sounds stupid.
- couple of new tyres needed. Spare is the original Michelin and one of the rears is cracking in places.
- New wheeltrims. It has poundland specials. In black.

It’s going to be a runaround for the wife for after we’ve moved house as she’ll be commuting once we are at our new house.

These will probably be the easiest cambelt in the world to do, even the twin cam 16v are simple to do.

Don't play cambelt roulette on a TU, it always ends in many bent valves. 

I remember one that had somehow bent every single valve 😂

The TU is an engine I’m quite familiar with.  Sadly can’t remember if I need to change the water pump at the same time or not

Yeah it's driven by the cambelt so well worth doing
