The bought not built estate

[Frosty]

Haven't caught up with this thread a while, it's one of the nicest estates about IMO. Are you using it as a daily? What is the exact spec as it stands?

Cheers chap, not been driving it overly much the last year really. Trying to keep it fairly tidy and had the 205 that i drove mostly over the winter and now got the dt back on the road that i drive most the time. 

The rough spec of it is pretty much the same engine wise as it has been for the last few years with the gt20 etc. Suspension is as you have prob seen recently bilstein B8s on the front with h&r springs, bottom arms with powerflex p bushes and front bushes and new trw ball joints. Rear axle has the 23.5mm torsion bars and koni shocks. Anything else you wanted to know spec wise?

You coming pugfest this year?

so whats the deal with the clutch style alternator? declutch and reduce load? how does it work? what are the advantages for you? D:

The way i look at it is hopefully less strain on the aux setup. As i have got the solid 307 bottom pulley that obviously doesn't have any where near as much give/damping in it as a standard 306 one does and the clutch on the alternator kind of helps with that i guess. its pretty much the same set up now as you would find on some of the 206/406 2 litre HDi's. Pulley shouldn't have any issue with the bottom pulleys, unlike the standard 306 ones that tend to play up a bit. The clutch pulleys don't seem to give too much issue on the PSA stuff either unlike the VAG stuff so hopefully i won't have any issue with it.
