Hi from sunny Weston-super-Mare!!

Post by Blacknight »

Hi

I have today purchased a 2001 green 2.0 cc, as a project car. It has a long list of MOT failures, but most are lightbulbs so fingers crossed will soon be enjoying some cheap summer fun. I already have a 206 gti among other vehicles so am aware of Peugeot eccentricity!

Cheers

Thanks guys.

Early days yet, but already I have managed to stop the roof working :roll: I am sure it is something simple. Otherwise electrical lighting issues are all in hand.

Oh dear. A lot of new owners do that because they don't read their owners manual thoroughly before they start using the car. It's not the blind in the boot not pulled out is it?

No owners manual unfortunately, but I am sure it will be something simple.

Thanks

Manual reset of roof resolved issues.

All good :-)

Electrical gremlins are banished. Fail on rear beam due to a bolt coming out???? Bit worrying, but a cheap fix with added thread lock ;-)

Managed to get a bargain stainless exhaust, now onto the welding........

Soon be done.
