new daily thoughts

[bashbarnard]

so i tried to have a look through all the other threads about this but everything is overpriced for me at the mo. lus 5 door is erm. rough. to rough for me to even want to keep going and thats saying something ill save anything!! she wont drive anything but a 306 or a 205. so she said if i got another car she will take my estate as she likes driving that. 

so what im after is a spares or repair motor estate car or super cheap with minor issues. thats fairly safe for my son. It really doesnt have to be a 306 as i have a phase 3 dturbo thats a project that i refuse to start untill all this annoying daily business is sorted. ive seen a few cars that are possible. the 406s look ok. one that ive seen with a clutch gone which is easy enough for me to fix. 

suggestions.

I know where there is a Xsara Picasso going for circa £350. Needs either an alternator or power steering pump (one of the two has a noisy bearing, haven't figured which yet but my money would be on the alternator) but other than that is alright. Still has 6 months MOT

Suspect you wont want something that big tho

Id just never own a people carry just out of principle. I only have one little monster. The estate is more for my sanity of car bits transportation. Thanks for the offer though.

If you buy a picasso, I'm disowning you

I've always thought a nice fettled XUD in a Picasso would be an awesome sleeper boost bus

You can pick up E46s silly cheap now.

[Paul_13]

Why I've just bought one

E46 330i in manual 112k for a good price

Ford Ranger double cab with a truckman top? Can pick them up quite cheap in local facebook groups and parts are stupid cheap.

Oddly they feel very 306 like in the way they are put together, I don't mean that in a build quality way but you know when you are taking something apart on a Ford or something German and think "Peugeot would never have done that like that" you don't get that with the Ranger.

Like the 306 they have an undeserved reputation for HG failure and other problems feel quite 306ey. I think drivers electric window and ignition switch are the common problems.

Yeah always wanted a ranger. Thunder version one. Bit to juicy for my commute though

Early ones probably run on veg.
Certainly if the Chinese Bosch copies don't like veg I'd bet someone could build you a Bosch for it.

Also juicyness is relative. If you fit some nice big tyres to gear it up a little your MPG won't appear to change but real world you could be up 10% and there is things you can do to aid their aerodynamics which make a pretty reasonable difference.
