Hi there.
I'm new - having owned a 98 1.9 TD 306 hatch in Gold no less - I have recently moved back to these cars - purchasing an estate this time.
1.9 non Turbo 2001 model in Silver - I think it's great.
Misses has the 307 1.4L
My old Pug had 220 thousand miles before I eventually sold her on - I changed engines and turbos & wheel bearings - all that kinda stuff.
The new car only has 93K on the clock so as far as work needed - a rear slave and a break switch and she's right as rain.
Unfortunately I cannot post yet but I cant seem to find a set of rear Isofix child safety seat bars anywhere and I see there are a few that come up here from time to time.
Id be hugely appreciative if someone could get me in touch or PM me. Have a baby boy and another on the way so really need this as I plan to keep the car for the next few years. It would mean I can take the family away on holiday if I get these in for august.... (have paypal too).
Thanks in advance,
Clayton

Thanks.
I don't suppose one of the more charitable of you could take pity on me. Perhaps even pop the isofix up on ebay for me? I'll pick it up from there.

Hi all.
Since buying the car Ive replaced the rear brake switch (thanks to this forum I dint have to pull out the whole dash). A rear slave cylinder which was weeping and not working any more....
I've also put her through the test and she failed on from wishbone bushes which were an nightmare to put back on and refit (used a size 22 socket and a big hammer)- If you don't get them straight you end up twisting the rubber bush to bolt up the wishbone correctly - think I may be replacing the bush again in a year or so because of this..
And rear flexy brake pipes which were very easy to replace.....
Next up is a set of 15 x 8 wolfrace alloys and Falcon tire's which I'm getting for 200 quid....
Central locking not working from the key so that's the next job to tackle..... Thankfully the forum here has given me some good places to start looking.

I'm in southern Ireland just outside Dublin but I'm more than happy to pay the postage or courier.
It means I can take the kids in the car and the wife would be happy they are safe.
Also were planning holiday in mid Aug on the West coast so it would mean Id have the car in shape for that too.......
Have another baby on the way so long term I'll need it one way or the other.
Thanks for coming back to me.

Hi all.
Just a thanks to the forum for the support getting the isofix. Poodle sorted me in the end.
Had to remove the existing pannel behind the seats and remove it.
Very easy fit.
