"306 TUD5, they didn't make those, thats impossible."
"What a bloody stupid idea"
"That'll be the slowest 306 ever"
Meh.
Peugeot didn't make it, I did!
Why, because why the f*ck not.
So I had a 106 TUD5 that I was gonna turbo but in typical 106 fashion it was rusty as f*ck even though the engine was still good. Well this wee beasty turned up on ebay at £80 and I went halves on it with on other forum member. Got £20 for the engine and £20 for the cat. FREE CAR!!
To drive it home I needed most of these
Any idea what was wrong yet LOL
This was the oil (with about 3l of coolant in it.)
So after liberating the TUD5 from the 106 and getting rid of the shell I stripped the 1.4 ready to drop out.
Then spent some time head scratching about the mount that I had guessed would be a straight fit but wasn't. Just needed 1 stud removing and one moving to a different hole thankfully so double nutted them and out they came.
Bottom mount was a straight fit with different length bolts after tapping the holes to clean nearly 2 decades worth of shit out of them.
Ready to go in, the water pipe at the back needs a little adjusting with a blow torch to clear the new engine mount but it needs less than 10mm so it'll be fine.
And Look it's in. Plenty of room for 'activities'.
All done in a day on my own and without an engine crane or any sort of hoist, just brute force, ignorance, many hammers and dropping the car down to the engine level.
