You see those common old rallyes everywhere, but how often do you see a 5 door DTurbo HDi? Tongue

It is tidy for 160k lol. The previous owner had a front end bump and broke the rad so it leaks....drove home without losing too much water though lol. Bumper/bonnet/grill are all knackered as well, not really noticeable in the pic though.

Also somethings catching on a wheel or the steering rack when turning lol, gotta check that out before driving it anymore.

God i sooo love them rear lights mate i want em lol ohhh wait iv got a pair im getting rid of lol....wouldnt mind them front lights tho lol

Rarer than a Rallye.... - Frosty - 03-08-2013

Shame them rear lights aren't rare so that people can't fit them and ruin cars!!!

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Chris1357 - 03-08-2013

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Toms306 - 03-08-2013

It's worth more in parts Chris.... Plus why would I want another 306 when I have a 'lovely' Vectra anyway. lol

But seriously, after driving both the Vectra and 306 (with several bottles of water in the boot lol) for the last day or so I've realised I don't really 'like' either of them as a daily, I want something in between the two. Why didn't I just buy another MK4 instead of the Vectra lol, that'd've been ideal! Doh lmao

In other news, it turns out the steering issue was a dry top mount, it's completely seized now lol, spring is turning without the mount...oops. Big Grin

So you like the awesome of the 306 and the big car with cupholders-ness of the Vectra? Have you considered a 406. Worst of both worlds lol.

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - amiek - 03-08-2013

Depends how much of a pain it is to get out. Big Grin And yeah it works...electrically this car is perfect (amazing for 160k!)...but mechanically, no lol.

But I'll stick a breaking thread up in a couple of days probably. Smile

Edit - Infact, I have some door motors from the estate....wonder if any were drivers door though, hmmmm.....

I'd bloody hope so on a phase 3. Wink

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - C2K - 03-08-2013

Tom if you break this please let me know, I could do with the airbag control module under the gearstick as i think my brothers is faulty.

Might take the blower unit too as i think mine is on its last legs.

Let me know anyway.

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Toms306 - 03-08-2013

It WILL be broken, just not sure when yet.....thinking of a ninja plan for a week lol. lol

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - procta - 03-08-2013

rarer than a ralleye lol a few of these are knocking about my end, just fixed and sell it on tom

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Poodle - 04-08-2013

Oh, I spotted this yesterday Tom, thought you might like it...

   

Re: Rarer than a Rallye.... - kentiiboii - 04-08-2013

Wow 02 plate hatch!

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Poodle - 04-08-2013

An HDi in china blue, no less!

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Toms306 - 04-08-2013

Meh, had 3 china's, bored of that now. Tongue I'd like an Astor tbh lol.

02 plate is good though!

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Grant - 04-08-2013

Tom, what is needed to get it back on the road? Would you sell it complete?

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Toms306 - 04-08-2013

No I wouldn't sell complete.

It would need a lot go back on the road tbh, all wear and tear parts (so stuff that wouldn't sell second hand, not a problem for a breaker) but a hell of a lot of them!

It wants at least rad and fans, top mounts, TREs, ball joints, 'box oil seals, various gaskets as both the exhaust and inlet are leaking a lot, engine mounts as it feels like sitting on a washing machine at idle lol.......and that's just to get it through MOT. Would also need bonnet, grill, bumper, slam panel etc.

So on a 160k car it's not worth the money spent on it when I know what I can get breaking it. Smile

RE: Rarer than a Rallye.... - Toms306 - 04-08-2013

Decided to use it as a rolling advert for a week lol...cant drive it far but still.... lol
