Just found this grand forum 'ere for us 306 jockies.

Mine's a '99 Ph.3 Hdi in Moonstone with 182,000 on the clock,
F/F Morettes(crap things)de-cat,de-EGR and a colour coded
tailgate spoiler(Ooohhh).

It's looking a tad poorly at the mo,I managed to tag the back end
of a Freelander a couple of weeks back(still driveable though),bent the
bonnet,bust the grille and put a superb hole straight through the bumper,
bending the a/c condenser,busting the fan shroud,adding a nice dent
to the slam panel vertical and giving the rad a slight leak,bollox.

Got all the shiny bits and a new(secondhand)rad though so with a bit of
hammer work on the slam panel's vertical and repair to the fan shroud
it should be back to it's shiny best.

[kingy]

welcome mate, have a look in the for sale section, i think their are loads of stuff like bumpers and bonnets going cheap at the minute.

[Niall]

Welcome
For the sake of 20 quid for a pattern slam panel, I would buy one. Speaking from experience they are nigh on impossible to straighten out and get at the right angle again so everything lines up! Fitting a me wine to mine was a bitch though. Had to get people pushing the inner wings in so that the holes lined up

[Grant]

Welcome along mate.

Sounds like your well on the way to being an avid 306 sado like the test of us lol.

You've come to a good place here. Great community full of fun and laughs! Enjoy!

I swore a bit I tell ye!!!.

Guess I am a 306 saddo,I've had Pugs for 20 years now(2 405's first),
had an XUD DTub before this one and I've had this for 8 years.

It wasn't 4 years old when I paid 6k for it with 90k on the clock.

I keep saying I'd like a new motor(BM 320d looks favorite when I do the deed),
but I just can't bring myself to part with the Pug,it still brings a silly grin on
when you boot it hard.

[4WayDiablo]

Its only cosmetics really. Bummer yes but new bonnet and bumper and will be sweeet

Do like the morettes :-)

[Grant]

^^this! Dont often see a ph3 with morrettes, think that looks quit tidy. New bumper bonnet and slam pannel (about £150 topps from scrappy) and your back to good news mate.

[kingy]

Makes me 52

[kingy]

haha, mint. you going to fcs?

[Miggers]

'Ere we go,the route to nice and shiney again.

The slam panel is very slightly off(I'll get a new 'un on it eventually),but the rad was
a real mare to do.

The bottom 'ose didn't want to come out at all and the lad almost buggered
the bayonety type fitting up but pulled off a superb recovery with some PTFE and racy sealant before re-fitting it all back in(he works in the water industry actually).

[kingy]

looks better, see ye had the help of ya mate. looks good from the pics. top work matey.

[Miggers]

No1 son actually matey.He loves fiddling with cars,he's at that age(28)you see.

Yeah,the old thing does look alright again.

Just hope it passes it's MOT Friday on H/L alignment.
My tester mate will no doubt be giving it the old
"failed then passed,repaired on site"routine to keep his figures up
to scratch for the Min.Men.

[kingy]

ilent: £20 back hander. hehe.

[MarkTD]

Nice 306 looks good with morettes as well.

[Miggers]

ilent: £20 back hander. hehe.

He wants a backhander 'round the 'earhole

He buggered up the inner lights a couple of years ago.

If you've had Morettes you'll know how cack the bulb holders are on the inners,
well the entire inners really :x .

Anyway,it went to matey for it's annual and when he's checking the lights.
"You got the left inner out there Miggs,turn 'em off a sec" he shouts and pulls
the bulb holder out ,has a fiddle then lays it on the slam rail :ugeek: .

"Turn 'em back on",I turn on the lights and pull the stalk for main beam,
something goes "BANG" hock: ,and that's the end of the inners.

My man says"Don't worry,you got mainbeam on the outers" :dance: shouts matey.

They've never worked since,I remind him about it at every MOT test!!!
