Hi so we are on holiday at the moment an we are going home tomorrow and our lil peugeot has decided it didn't like its cam belt.......
so we are in filey with a car that don't work. We can get home but we cant get the car home. So im wondering if there any one near that will buy it for £50.
its a 1.8 auto (used to be a 1.8 auto) 5door in red. There a picture in one of my posts. I cant upload pics atm.
need it going asap. The bodywork ain't to bad its a 1996 ph1
really need it going asap. Will send you the log book as soon as we get home.
please can some one help as i cant get it home because we don't have a solid tow bar or trailer or anything.
basically we are fooked if no one wants it.

Does it still function? I'm guessing the box is fooked if you dragged it 3 miles?

The box should be fine. Iv towed autos alot further with no major problems.
its gunna need a new engine really. Not worth trying to fix the engine. Blew up at 60mph
when in doubt...... flat out.
