So I ended up purchasing this car off Niall a week back. Seems like a genuine car with a ton of paperwork and one of the cleanest 306 interiors I've ever seen.
I've basically just been driving it around, leaving it alone until I broke down on Monday, it wouldn't be a Peugeot if it didn't break down right?
Anyway, turns out the injector o-ring was split and it pissed fuel all over the engine bay claiming the rocker cover paint with it. A fresh new o-ring later and a glug of petrol and she's fresh as a daisy again.
I also hit a pothole and put a bulge in a front tyre which means I need to start deciding which tyre brand I'm going to go with.
The plans for the car are to just continue to do subtle tidy up jobs, give it a good service and probably just leave it alone / drive it as it is.
