What Have You Done To Your 205 Today?

[Mac Crash 78 1 Cars]

Drove to the MOT station where the tester kindly signed and stamped the 21 day vehicle defect ticket issued by the Police last weekend for having French type number plates, then promptly removed the original dealer plates via sticky tape and carried on regardless.... are you French?, funny looking tyres them? any reason your not wearing your seatbelt? (in LIDL's car park!!!) it's been a long time since I saw a 205, well hopefully it'll be along time before you see this one again!

 

No complaints, but surely, they have something better to do, no?

Rigged up a pair of strip lights and sockets in my garage so I can run them off a generator - no more working in the dark .

Refitted my passenger side front seat to my goodwood after having some loose stitching repaired .

Met a fellow 309 GTI owner so he could pick up some door cards , parcel shelf and other parts .

Spent ages trying to remove the top suspension locknut to no avail :/ and spilt gearbox oil all over the garage floor.

topped it up, gave up with the locknut and rolled her back in the garage

Very handy for stupid tight nuts or nuts on long rusty threads

removed the engine and subframe from Puglet and jetwashed it with Anton's petrol jetwash, put the subframe back on.

Ragged the nuts off it, set the brakes on fire and raced a Hayabusa, didn't win, but it was fun!!

worked out what was wrong with it. happy bloody days

Looked at the engine, decided I could leave the v6 in to change the cambelt, closed the bonnet again.

[Malc 45]

After charging my battery, fired it up for the first time since installing a c30 rotrex, it runs,!!! and everything working, delighted to say the least, couple of things to do then test run, looking forward to finding out how 250BHP or so feels in a 205.

started taking the pipes off the engine, as i plan to rebuild it, ordered a engine stand.

Found the source of some rough running: a small split in the air hose from the SAD to the intake manifold. I repaired it with electrical tape, will be ordering new hose from the Peugeout dealer later this week. My car is running much smoother now, especially at low speed.

[AlexRS2782 136 1 Cars]

Did all the usual checks, levels, pressures, etc, so that I can give the car a decent run tomorrow Last time I got to drive it was 5+ weeks ago

you'll be lucky to find one, all types are NFP

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

NFP to some anyway

[johnhenry 20]

if in doubt about parts, bakerbm hoses buy once and forget about it, good pricing with the members discount too (Y)

[welshpug 1,657]

yup! http://www.bakerbm.com/205.php?data=ssh8v205

[Mac Crash 78 1 Cars]

tapes done the job, why replace it? it's a hose pipe, clean and glue the split, save money, and keep it completely original... if you clean it properly then glue will do the job.... don't need to tell you that as you are clever enough to have found the problem! or buy bespoke hose which is probably better anyway, who cares if it's made by Peugeot?

[calvinhorse 870]

I'd rather buy new off baker, genuine peugeot rubber hose has been sitting around on shelfs for years and will be dry and crusty, it'll probably crack as you push it on.

 

Baker hoses are fit and forget and most probably cheaper than genuine

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Disagree Calvin, all the hoses I have had have been great.

 

Had just about all the water hoses, air and oil breathers with no issues after 2-3 years now.

[calvinhorse 870]

Said the salesman roflololol

 

How do the prices compare?
