The new to me 207 SW!

Evening all.

I have recently acquired this from a fellow member of this Parish.

 

I really wanted to not care about this car so I can use it as a tool\dog car! BUT it drives so very well! Its so comfy and my wife loves it! And a bonus is..... its cheap to run!

So far ive driven it 300miles its had new bulbs in all front facing lights, a new battery in the keyfob and a new battery for the car itself! The old battery was about ready to explode, not kidding - the thing was sizzling with smoke coming out of the vent holes! Not seen anything like it. Anyway, stopped just round corner from ECP and picked up a nice Bosch!! Thought maybe alternator is over-charging but it sits at a steady 14.3-14.4 so alls well there I think.

I actually like the car a lot, it drives superb! Plenty of power out of the 1.6HDI for me and good economy.

Next week, hopefully its going in to the garage for some work!  A couple of electrical niggles that need sorting!

 

WIll keep this post updated as things happen!

We are actually planning a few trips for this, 1st is Wales in August and France likely nearer the end of the year. Great car! Its bigger than you think inside as well. I miss the Vectra, but this car is great! And far more practical for our needs! Its turning into the main family car!
