Having bought a 205 its time for the 306 to go.
I took the car in part exchange for my HDi DTurbo in August 2010 off a guy called Rob who was a member on .net with a broken heater matrix and a rough start up problem. The car was completely standard when I aquired it and the rough start up was soon fixed by replacing the glowplugs for some Bosch Duraterms.
I personally replaced the heater matrix and DarrenJLobb & Ruan were kind enough to convert it to a bosch and did all the cambelt, glowplugs, tensioners, waterpump etc. Over the years I put a straight through exhaust on which I then had to put a cherry bomb onto for legal reasons. The brakes were upgraded to 266's with help from Connor and DevilsFuel. I fitted a custom FMIC kit that I fabricated that uses a modified Xantia inlet (welded up the EGR) and 2.25" piping. The latest upgrade was a rebuilt T25 with 360 thrust bearing off of Dave11.
The car has since had another set of cambelts and tensioners etc as my pump bracket cracked and I had the lot redone at the official Toyota dealership I work for in Weston-Super-Mare.
As far as servicing goes the car has had regular oil changes with genuine Toyota oil at least every 5,000 miles. Had new pads and discs in last 6000 miles, cambelt less than 4000 miles.
At the last MOT only failed on number plates and a wheel bearing both of which were replaced. Only one advisory being a tyre.
