106 NAD Progress not Project

[Dave]

I think this needs a turbocharger and a bosch top hat!

[Niall]

[Dum-Dum]

It was starting perfectly after i tightened the cold start cable

I know....Alex just told me!
Time for a trip to the scrappy. 306 one won't fit I don't think! Iirc the 106 one is 6 wires and the 306 is 4 wire

[Kimmie]

How did you manage that??

[darrenjlobb]

Just drill the holder pin to release steering lock and connect a switch in line, no ones exactly gunna nick it.

[4WayDiablo]

no ones exactly gunna nick it.

I know where he lives

[Kimmie]

I work right by his house

[darrenjlobb]

Well yeah, but no ones gunna know its not got oem ign barrell anymore....easier than fookin about fitting another one / getting another one / having 2 keys etc.

[Toms306]

Tbh I could leave my golf unlocked and no one would want it.....

I barely used to lock the silver one cos let's face it, it wasn't worth nicking! Plus I didn't want the alarm going off annoyingly....

[Sambarker]

I had a 1.4 diesel 106 many moons ago



^Only picture i could find of it.

14" OZ polaris wheels seemed to suit it pretty well, de-sidestripped, chav backbox, xsi spoiler and for some reason a 3rd brake like under the bumper (I was 17!)

Came as a 'kid' special edition, with denim seats which were promptly changed.

Must admit was a shit engine, headgasket went so got another engine, and the headgasket went on that one.

The 1.5 is in another league to the 1.4!

[THE_Liam]

To be honest I'd just hotwire it, as long as you can lock the door. As for plans, I'd just keep it really cheap. 60mm drop looks pretty nice on these, and Citroen Berlingo steels look just like Rallye steels if you paint them white and you can get a set for like 30 quid, and it should be 4-stud being a diesel. As for the knackered paint on the bonnet and roof, matt black?

[kingy]

not havin much luck at the minute. hope it all changes for you soon mate and once more you will be happy.

[Dum-Dum]

Full new valeo locking kit is 72.50 plus VAT for everything including both doors, ignition, boot and fuel capgonna pick one up on the way home from work

[Matt]

Scrappy not be cheaper?

[THE_Liam]

Best thing with an old car, no immobiliser to piss around with

[Dum-Dum]

Scrappy not be cheaper?

YES

But as above,
My local scrappy never has keys in cars
and
Once youve drilled the ignition to remove it its not entirely suitable for refitting.
and also
Lockset was £78.30 total brand new with 2 keys, scrapper would of been at least £40 plus 2 hours of my time removing them.

[samass]

tbf, 80 quid for a brand new set of locks and keys aint bad at all, id much rather pay that than arse about in a scrappy, only to then realise that i cant find the matching key... i tend to jump straight in haha

also, agree with a previous comment... bosch and turbo... ALWAYS wanted to do that to a 106 derv

[Dum-Dum]

So heres the lock set incase anyone is wondering what was included

   






Ive also been really gheto and fitted proper authentic sony 6x9s from the early 2000s

   






And ive fitted 306 cabby front seats which really improve the driving experience but need to go about 3" further back (like the 106 seats)

   
   





Got a load of service bits today. Hopefully get that done tomorrow afternoon or at the weekend.

[cully]
