I think I went the right way because I think I will still have £400 cash at the end of the rebuild plus I will still have a lot of decent parts from the donor car, I will be picking the best parts from both cars to hopefully make a better car than I had before. And the experience of the rebuild. I ...

Thanks for your thoughts. I have decided to rebuild. I have bought a donor car for £450 this morning, different colour though, that has a blown engine and the boot will not open, but its in lovely condition. The donor car has a full stainless exhaust too. I have already stripped all the body parts f...

Yesterday some clown let her 10 year old daughter play in their Landrover Discovery, as a result it rolled about 40 metres down a shallow hill and smashed into the front of my 206cc. As expected she didn't want to go through insurance company and has already paid me £1600 cash to repair or replace t...

Just looking for inspiration for a new mix of songs when I take the little Pug out this weekend.

If you just had one song, what would it be?

I play The Faces - "Ooh La La" a lot when out and about.

My 206cc is getting a little long in the tooth now and I'm looking at a newer model. To be able to get a car as modern as I need will mean turning to the 207cc, a car just out of warranty, a 2010/11. There are quite a few for sale and as the summer begins to fade I am hoping for a better deal. Does ...

OK, I have had this annoying clicking noise coming from the passenger wheel for a few months. The clicking noise gets faster as the car speed increases, then after 10mph you cannot hear it anymore. Today I changed the bearing and the CV joint (because I previously had to glue ABS ring on when it sna...

I had this panel off earlier today. To work on the window, wait for a good day, drop the roof to make life easier, you will need to remove rear seats and there are 2 panels each side will need to be removed. You will then be faced with the usual white foam covering which you will have to remove to b...

I had this problem when I bought my car, I suspected a heatshield, but alas it was the cat. My rattle used to appear at about 2500 rpm, but used to improve as the exhaust system heated up. I paid £155 for a new cat to be fitted and the problem went away.

OK done the job today, and to be honest you don't need to remove the back seats. The whole job took me about an hour I guess. Its far easier if you drop the roof, then remove the top plastic part where the rear windows are, unhook the top part of the rear seats to make life a little easier, then you...

My car doesn't have a sub either. I recently took out the bootliner as I had a water issue and I didn't notice any wiring harness or any spare electrical connections. However when I fitted a new head unit there was wires for a sub behind the dashboard, so in theory it shouldn't be too hard to trace ...

I have fitted a Sony stereo with just a stalk adaptor and wiring loom adaptor. Had a great deal in Halfords because both the adpators were in the clearance bin for just 99p each. If I'm honest the Sony stereo fit OK, but could use a fascia adaptor if your a perfectionist.

Thats a great price. I had just timing belt and tensioners done last year and it cost me £240 with a Gates kit by using a local mechanic. The job took about 5 hours because there isn't any room in the engine bay and he had to tilt the engine just a tad to make live a little easier.

Was going to tackle it earlier, but other things came up. I will do it in the morning and will post some pics.

Well I am just going to start stripping down the car now, hopefully it won't take too long. The seats are stupidly easy to take out and I should be able to get around not removing the seatbelts.

Cheers Gazza. Yup they are not Peugeot speakers but I have a connection block adapter.

I was hoping there maybe a short cut, but it looks like it will take some time to do a simple job
