yh i picked her up a weeks or so ago. was a tidy car when ash had it but the last owner has let it go a bit so a good mop should bring it back to life a bit.

That's beautiful! Proper tidy

cheers mate

bit of an update the estate bus has been written off and it is pretty f*cked. so i was using my work van as a daily,
so i found out on monday that i had to drive the family up to rugby which is a 700mile round trip so i had to spend as much time as i could in the evening getting her ready

better condition door and rear bumper was fitted
coil-overs were fitted and new top-mount bearing were fitter also THANKS dumdum for sorting them out with darren
next was to sort out the rear breaks. the pads and disks were shot and also the drivers caliper so changed out the for a recon caliper
and a set of pads and disks i had.
next we swapped out the cloth seats and put in a set of dts seats.
now it was Thursday evening and i hadent even driven the car yet so i got some insurance and took her for a ragg done about a mile before the management light was on so took her back plugged in to Peugeot planet to find out the frp was shot so we swapped out for a spare that we had and it done the same again, so pulled the regulator out again and i had a load more dirt on it so opened up the filter housing and i was very clean so at this point we was very niggley knowing we needed to fix this for my trip on friday so then we swapped out the high pressure pump and another fpr we had laying around fired her up and i seemed ok so i managed to rack up 20 miles before i left on friday
it now sunday and the car has made the first 350miles great with the only problems are the tracking being very out and the wipers have a mind of there own.
so touch wood it will be ok for the trip back home
so thanks to darren and chris for helping me out the shit


also sorry for my shocking English

---

also sorry there is no pictures, my brick of a phone only comes with a potato camera
darren might have some

[Frosty]

Sounds like you haven't had too much luck, hopefully that be the end of it though. The exhaust look pretty win though, think Mark showed me a video if it.

Im sure we will get down your way at some point and have a ganders over it

Hope you have a good trip back home

[Poodle]

Looking tidy that, fair play. Now the fuel system is good there's no excuse to not mod her.

[daniel909]

Well bit of an update this car is has had another pump change since the last update also another few regulators and also a set of 70k injectors fingers crossed it not going to be giving me any more codes for a while

I am also running a stage 1 map which made 117 on the dyno with a bad maf and clutch slip
Different maf and the car seems to be pulling harder again which is good

Next on the list it body work!!!!!!
f*cking laquar peel

[daniel909]

Just a pic I took the other day I thought I would add

Thought id update this for Rhys,

Had a few issues at MOT with rear arm play, yet another tired beam.

So went for a budget repair, new bearings, used shafts and fixings / seals.

Jacked car up, stripped beam on car to examine damage:




Bearings collapsed / dry and ruined shaft as normal:




So went ahead and dropped the beam, working outside as Dyno booked to be used:






To save money we just fitted some second hand arms with good shafts that I had in my collection, so cleaned up the tube, fitted new bearings / covered in grease and quick bit of paint:




And all re fitted ready for MOT re-test:

[daniel909]

Well she passed mot now
Also new p bushes
New drop links
Offside balljoint
Nearside track rod end
New handbrake cables

[Piggy]

Must feel like new again

[daniel909]

Well its been a few weeks since pugfest but the old girl made it there and back and 2 hill runs with out issues im
Using it most days car seems to be sweet atm

[daniel909]

Update its been a while but I have now added a fmic to the cherry but now I have megga clutch issues
I got a paddle clutch here waiting but in need of a gti flywheel if anyone has one?
Once the clutch I done we can bang on the stage 2 also toying with the idea as I got a new gt2052v kicking round strapping that on too

Yes!

dose of MTFU for a weekend and crack the welder out.

Though you'll do well to get darren to move his DT out of the 'shop again.
