The dog rough estate

[DeeTurbo]

Good man for keeping at this!

Pretty much everyone else on this forum would have broken this for parts by now, 306s really are a dying breed!!!

Actually excited to see this done!

Thanks, I think I could have done with a good dona car to use for parts.

I think I'm still getting a bit of the starting issue but it's being masked by the warmer weather.

I've got a feeling the wrong oil has been used in the car as it looked to be very thick when draining.

Broken it for parts? Were there any salvageable ones?

As for the mount nuts, you will need to put them back, the bolts holes are elongated so the mount will move if not lol.

I really do think there wasn't anything worth any value left on the car. The nuts will be going back on, it doesn't take long to get the battery tray and that cover plate off. If I carry on getting this starting issue I might just get another engine for it but before I do that my next port of call is going to be a starter motor, hopefully one off an early HDI. Then after that I might put the injectors out of my hatchback into it as I have some 076's to go in that.

My hatchback has been a bit neglected of late because of the estate.

Anyway the water leaks have now been sorted, the new blank and the new stat housing have sorted it.

The new blank.


I forgot to say I put the old drive shafts off my hatch on this so it's now got good CV boots. It could almost pass an MOT now lol
