Rarer than a Rallye....

You see those common old rallyes everywhere, but how often do you see a 5 door DTurbo HDi?

The previous owner had a front end bump and broke the rad so it leaks....drove home without losing too much water though lol. Bumper/bonnet/grill are all knackered as well, not really noticeable in the pic though. Also somethings catching on a wheel or the steering rack when turning lol, gotta check that out before driving it anymore.

Shame them rear lights aren't rare so that people can't fit them and ruin cars!!!

Can be posted to. Chris

It's worth more in parts Chris.... Plus why would I want another 306 when I have a 'lovely' Vectra anyway.
But seriously, after driving both the Vectra and 306 (with several bottles of water in the boot lol) for the last day or so I've realised I don't really 'like' either of them as a daily, I want something in between the two. Why didn't I just buy another MK4 instead of the Vectra lol, that'd've been ideal!   In other news, it turns out the steering issue was a dry top mount, it's completely seized now lol, spring is turning without the mount...oops.

So you like the awesome of the 306 and the big car with cupholders-ness of the Vectra? Have you considered a 406. Worst of both worlds lol.

I don't drink in the car, I've never needed cup holders. And I don't like 406s lol....(03-08-2013, 11:30 AM)amiek Wrote: If ya break it, can i bagsy the drivers door lock motor? if it works... Depends how much of a pain it is to get out. And yeah it works...electrically this car is perfect (amazing for 160k!)...but mechanically, no lol.But I'll stick a breaking thread up in a couple of days probably.  Edit - Infact, I have some door motors from the estate....wonder if any were drivers door though, hmmmm.....

Tom if you break this please let me know, I could do with the airbag control module under the gearstick as i think my brothers is faulty.
Might take the blower unit too as i think mine is on its last legs. Let me know anyway.

Tom, what is needed to get it back on the road? Would you sell it complete?

No I wouldn't sell complete.
It would need a lot go back on the road tbh, all wear and tear parts (so stuff that wouldn't sell second hand, not a problem for a breaker) but a hell of a lot of them! It wants at least rad and fans, top mounts, TREs, ball joints, 'box oil seals, various gaskets as both the exhaust and inlet are leaking a lot, engine mounts as it feels like sitting on a washing machine at idle lol.......and that's just to get it through MOT. Would also need bonnet, grill, bumper, slam panel etc. So on a 160k car it's not worth the money spent on it when I know what I can get breaking it.
Decided to use it as a rolling advert for a week lol...cant drive it far but still....

Edit - It seems my camera likes moonstone about as much as I do....
