Dturbo HDi 5 doors
#1
Just showing a bit of interest as I haven't seen many of these about Sad I've got one and just wanted to see how many of you guys and gals own one. Are they like rocking horse shiz??

I suppose colour, mileage, name and age would be nice to know too (if you are as sad as me) Smile

Mine is diablo, 154k miles, Dee-Dee and 'W' reg with stage 1 remap and other lil bits and pieces done...

Anyone else out there???

Can't be that rare, I've owned 2... lol

One was crashed so broken for parts in 2013 at 135k on an X plate. The other, a V plate, suffered cambelt failure at 150k so I swapped another 125k engine into it, drove it a while then sold to Toseland on here.

Both in 'old lady' moonstone unfortunately! Itwasntme lol

Only good thing about moonstone is that it cant get dirty, cant remember the last time mine was washed and the only way it looks a little dirty, is where my leg rubs the side skirt clean lol

Hey,

I just joined the forum and saw this, though you might like to know I have a 5dr 2.0 D Turbo Big Grin V reg, Black, 15" Cyclone's, has too many miles on at the moment (205000) but am trying to get an engine with less miles, but not too sure on how the laws with that works.

DUDE, run it till it dies!

good to hear you have one Big Grin just look after it with services and a cam belt kit and you'll be laughing, 205000 is just middle aged lol Big Grin

If you've got big plans, why not buy another engine and start building that up as your project. Then you've got the back up if you need it (shouldn't think you will, these go forever) and still have something to play with.

Well im planning to refurbiah all the interior, as the years have started to take it out on the car, even though I have to say for its age it is on good condition, after ive sorted that I want to have the outside resprayed and have the alloys refurbished aswell, as whoever owned the car last wasnt very careful with them Sad ...
Once im done with that ill be changing the suspension to coilovers, change the exhaust to a straight flow one, change the air box to a decent air filter system, much more, however all of this will depend on whether I change the engine or not, I can buy an engine with less then 100K on it for £170.00, all im worrying about is the laws on changing engines, the engine will be the same, just less miles, so I dont know if insurance would see that as a "hardcore" mod or if it wouldnt have impact on insurance as its like for like.. :/ thanks for all the comments Big Grin

If you're going to fmic and stuff, the insurance would know straight away if you or someone put a claim in on it as its a very obv. modification but I don't think dropping another engine in is that obv. to them though, post accident/incident.
I think dropping an engine in would be a waste of time if there is nothing wrong with the original too, unless you do what Poodle suggests, buy another, do it up and you got a very nice spare...it would be easier in the long run for you (more room to work around), but rest assured, 205000 is pretty decent and the HDi engine is a hard bastard if looked after regularly Wink you could just go around the engine checking the old and replacing with new: injectors, glow plugs, sensors etc.

but there is always the old proverb looming, 'if it aint broke, don't fix it...' thats why I said drive it 'til it dies Wink

edit addition:

Just my view on air box change, the standard on these is awesome with k&n panel filter...much better than sacking it all off and sticking a cone on, i have a cone and there is a lot of heat from the bay...another suggestion would be enclosed induction kit but they can be pricey Wink

the cold air intake on the standard is pretty unobtrusive too, just my opinion mate Wink

Sorry, withouth wanting to sound silly what does FMIC mean? :$

Well thats the thing, im just waiting for pay day at the moment to see if there is something wrong with it, unfortunately im not greatly mechanically minded, so I will try and explain what my worry with the current engine is, so bear with me, I believe I have an extremely slow oil leak (Which I want to fix before It becomes serious), as you stand in front of your engine bay, if you look at the top of your engine, just behind it, you have what i belive is some type of Manifold pipe of sorts, I have reason to belive my oil leak is coming from there, I cleaned all the oil off this particular pipe and withing a couple of weeks the oil was back there, but as i mentioned, im not greatly mechanically minded, so its hard to explain exactly what it is, I would post a picture of it, but I dont know how to do that, as I can find an option on here.

Also, on the air box, the only reason I wanted to change it was due to the fact that, per general rule, standard air boxes/filters tend to be very limited in the air allowed in, from what I have been explain, so that was one of the reasons for wanting to change it, simply to improve air flow, but if you say that these are good and can be improved by simply changing the filter itself, then im quite happy with doing that.

and please keep providing opinion, it was the whole reason I join the forum, had hopes I would find people with similar interests and more knowledge, so thank you for all the posts and advise Big Grin

That slow oil leak is perfectly normal on these, pretty much all of them do it. It's actually a boost leak between the manifold and inlet elbow. The bit of oil comes from the crankcase breather and is normal to be found inside there.

All it needs to fix that is a new gasket for a few pence...

Ah thank you for explaining Smile.

Thank you, I have to admit, I was just looking for any random Diesel car as needed a car to get to work, but as soon as I saw the 306 I knew its what I wanted, came across this one on a Facebook page for the local area and bought it Big Grin got lucky that it already had the tinted windows and alloys, but they need a refurbish Sad not been very well looked after unfortunately. The interior is in fairly decent condition tbf Smile

Pic below Smile

Ill start a thread once I got the first few bits sorted Smile

Thanks for all the advise all Smile
