Bought this 2 weeks or so ago as a little project to bring upto FCS if I can get it finished for then.
1999 s reg peugeot partner 1.9d (currently dw8 engine) with a snapped cam.
Overall a tidy shell for the year and I like the colour!
144k on the clock and still 11 months mot.
Looks clean chap. Nice to see a non white one for a change. Would defo do this to a van if I had one.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

So I thought I would get my old sedan engine off the rack at work ready for a rebuild before being fitted

Thanks mate, yeah it is clean especially for year, and when I saw it I knew I had to buy it purely because of the condition and colour.
Plus it was a steel at £150 with the cyclones already fitted aswell.
.....
So over the last week or so I've been doing bits and bobs to the engine to get it ready for putting in this weekend.
Anyway over this last week I have fitted a new valeo clutch, timing belt kit and water pump, Auxillery belt, cam and crank seals have been replaced, new head gasket and thermostat, genuine peugeot rocker cover gasket and vacuum pump seals. So hopefully have no leaks from those.
Also changed the gearbox driveshaft seals, and a few other bits and pieces.
Managed to source a fair priced 9mm gov'd bosch pump setup, non egr inlet manifold and a t2 turbo which has recently been refurbished all for a decent price, so that will put me on for now.
Anyway here's the engines all built back up ready to go in, barring the front timing belt cover and intercooler etc.

Thanks bud, not sure if to refurb the wheels grey or buy my mates grey challengers. I think either would look nice.
Small update... shes all up and running now, ran upto temperature. No water or oil leaks, coolant system all bled up with nice warm heaters, just need to sort an exhaust out now

yeah, needed / wanted it done over the weekend. Still lots of bits and bobs to sort out but the engine swap was simple and hassle free barring having some issues with passenger drive shaft..
But yeah need to now sort qn exhaust, wheels, new brakes and front arms / p bushes and then lower it.
Gave it a quick wash today as it was covered in dust and crap, now onto the lowering... can I use berlingo legs and fit 306 lowering springs to them... Or do I use 306 springs and starts with the partner strut top? Or If I was to use coilovers... I'm guessing I would use 306 coilovers and partner strut tops?
Any advice would be helpful
Pretty sure I used 306 strut tops in my Partner, Bought the coilovers second hand and they came out of a 306 anyway! Good work great little vans these. Side exit out of the rear bumpers easy to do that's what I did with mine.

Correct. Me and Scott fitted some lowered shocks and springs directly off of a 306 onto a Partner. No issues.
Team Eaton
1999 China Blue 306 GTi6 - Eaton Supercharged - 214.5bhp 181lbft
Mk1 and MK2 berlingo share from the bulk head forward share the same subframe suspension engine mounts steering rack cooling system as thes 306 xsara and Zx. It has the rear beam of a 206/405
The only real difference I noticed was the strut tops were half an inch narrower. When I looked further into it on service box the Berlingo uses gti6 shocks up front and from what I remember the xsara vts quick rack at least mine did.
The berlingo also uses the same heater matrix blower housing as 306s im pretty confident you could even fit a 306 dash into these as the mountings points are the same.

Thanks for replies
I have some 60mm lowering springs here on gti6 shocks and the strut top is defo different so I'll swap them over and use some new partner ones... Is it possible to use a 206 gti180 disc brake beam on these at all?
