As most know my ph1 kingfisher dturbo was regrettably sold, due to being too small and unpractical for me having two littleuns, so estate was really the only way to go. I was always going to stay 306 obviously.
Anyway picked up a 2001 '51 meridian estate in bianca white (cheap tax ;))
Paid 255 quid for it off ebay with Short Mot and short tax needing a new beam
Thanks to Mike B for the lift up to Bristol for it. Drove 100odd miles back trouble free pretty much, steering felt floaty. I soon realised when home it had 10psi in one tyre and a track rod end was excessively fooked!
Bought an ecu of here with a stage 1 pro steve map on it. Made it pull really well compared to standard, still convinced a stage 1DT On a bosch pulls better mind. Hdi defo drives nicer daily though.
Fitted a beam and some new brake pipes got me an mot ;)
Pics next day
