Hi,
I have just bought my first pug :
a 2.0l 306 cab, M reg (2000) in blue, brown leather interior,
I bought it last night for a nice bargin price, but knew it would have a few faults.
the engine pulls like a freight train, no ticks, or knocks, solid as a rock. Handles like a go-kart, and stops like an anchor.
My personal experience, is an intermediate home mechanic. I have always done my own work, mostly because i cant afford garage prices. so getting things done can sometimes take time.
I have owned a few cars in the past, ranging from a Vauxhall Nova Booty, to a Vauxhall Frontera 2.0l Sport off road special. and even a ford Orion 1.6efi Sleeper @ 160bhp.
I do sort of know my way round a car, and sometimes need a little help finding my way.
So. issues i have with the car so far
Front left fog broken.
Passsenger Window regulator broken, (sounds like the wire is frayed)
Electric hood does not work.
- inspection has found a mirade of issues, from bent actuators, to no fluid in the system, to deteriorated pipes.
But this introduction is not for fixing my issues, its for introducing my self, and as you can prob tell. i can ramble sometimes.
Any way, thats a little about myself, more will come as time goes on, but i am a private person, and i do not know any one on here yet. :
Thanks.
Tony.
