Don't like the aero ones, all though I did replace wipers a few thousand mile ago

I am bored of it tbh who knows once I sorted mot out might actually be for sale but have to see how I feel once I've put mot on it

[Chris_90]

We'll bit of an update 30miles in to the journey to Cornwall, one of my wheel bearing decided to start making a terrible noise, so ended up turning around and coming in fiancees punto


really annoyed with this car but I nearly replaced everything thing now so better off to carry on replacing everything else

[Chris_90]

So been for mot apparently one of the cleanest 106's the guy has seen for its age no advisorys to



Not sure if I'm keeping it or not yet as fancy something different see how I get on over next few days/weeks

[Piggy]

[Jonny81191]

Yer i keep looking in to it, but if it happens i will be surprised would really love to do it, carnt imagine what a 170bhp turbo diesel 106 would feel like, Ive still got wheels all though i keep looking back at the pics with the lensos on an think it looked really nice back then doubt the 205 wheels will pull off the same look so unsure weather to get some lensos again or not

I have been looking at 406's but when i did an insurance quote i nearly had a heart attack thanks for offer tho

And thanks its not bad bit rough round the edges needs some tlc to the body work really, but wrong time of year to bother.

[Chris_90]

Well been a long time since i updated this, tbh nothing has happend with it mainly just been a reliable daily mileage is now at 84,000 well just under, nearly done 20,000miles in it, its been nearly a year since i bought it, the longest time ive ever kept a car

Its not been washed for about 3 month, tracking issues up front.

Other than that still love it.

Just one picture, From this morning probably coldest morning we had first time its smoked from starting



Not sure on whats in store for the 106, as plans are to build the d turbo engine and get the 205 on the road hopefully around end of feb, but if i dont do it in time will be re-taxing this. May sell it once 205 is on road or brake or scrap, or even keep it and keep it as a spare car and tidy it up but not sure yet.

Comments welcome

Bit of an update on this

As a few know I'm getting married this year we are also expecting a baby so this cars days are numbered as will be needing something bigger before end of year. So in between saving up for the baby and paying all the wedding stuff I will be doing this.

SO I'm setting about blowing this one by bolting a turbo to it picked up a spare engine and box today picking up a turbo next week off Danny then I will set to work with the welder, I'm hoping to get the turbo down the back of the engine just going straight from turbo to inlet as not gonna be doing mega psi.

I will update with pictures at some point but don't have a decent phone at min so struggling with that one.........

Comments welcome

Going right off turboing this, gonna have to gearbox mounted as there's no way to get it down back due to amount of stuff down back of engine, gear linkages, starter motor, various water pipes, engine mount,etc etc .........

Think it's gonna be slow progress with it will carry on but it's not gonna be cheap as I was hoping and with money going else were it's not my first priority

[Danny2009]

Not be hard to box mount it pal

[Matt]

It's not hard to box mount, Samass did a proper job of it! And he did it pretty cheaply. Just got on with it

[Chris_90]

Pics here from when i picked engine up






Ash_23 is donating me so flexi exhaust pipe to help with the gearbox mounting turbo

Today i turned the pump down as since i fitted the 8mm pipe its smoked its its off even pure veg its been thick black smoke so hopefully now ive turned it down i might get some better mpg's as im down to 41mpg at the min

[Chris_90]

Serviced it today 7th oil and oil filter change since I've had it



And changed air filter for first time in 20,000miles lol



Just clicked over to 89,000miles, gonna need some front pads very soon, also put all the Xsi alloys back on now taking snow tyres off so can grantee it throws it down with snow tomorrow

Comments welcome

It was having bigger brakes till some one bought them off me

[Chris_90]

Was bored today so looked at fitting the 205 radiator but it will be pretty much same as the radiator that's on there now as it is longer but shorter and not as wide. So gave that up as a bad job, I had a 306 thermostat in the shed I no the open at a lower temp (83c) were as the 106 one opens at 89c so looked at fitting that but it's alot bigger

So que the grinder



Not sure if that pic will be any good, but ground it down made it fit now temp sits at 85c instead of over 90c

Gonna make a switch so I can manually switch the fan on but so it will switch still on its own when it's up to temp.

But I still think I'm gonna need a bigger radiator for cooling when the turbo is on.

In other news one of the wheel bearings has shit it's self so that's next on list when I've got enough money
