So, the time has come to wave good bye to my faithful work steed, and before I go any further, I will state that it's the wrong fuel pump for any chip fat fans. (I mean, you could give it a go)
What've we got then?
Pugsley is a 1994 Peugeot 205 non turbo 1.8 diesel, 5 speed manual. He's sat on 108,000 or so, which is a pittance for these. I fully envision the engine to be running in some form or another when I'm confined to a nursing home. I've personally put around 8k on it, and aside from the gear stick top crumbling under my fist at some stage, it has been flawless. It's returned an average of 57 mpg over my ownership, which is quite frankly biblical.
The good:
The mechanicals - engine pulls well, the gearbox and clutch are fine. It doesn't use water or oil at any sort of accelerated rate. (wow!)
It has MOT until November this year.
It's cheaper to run than literally any other form of transport (this may not be true)
It has a badass triple digit registration (which it got given from new, I believe)
I've just spent 20 of my hard earned English pounds on a part worn Michelin for the front offside. (Bonus!)
Interior is actually fairly clean (when I clean it)
There is a £1 coin in the ashtray which has to live in there, as it was there when I bought it. Some say that if you remove it, you'll be cursed and damned to death.
The bad:
May need some new springs at a minimum for the MOT, the suspension is tired, the tracking is slightly out, and it has some internal rot (inside next to the bottom of the B Pillar, it hasn't extended far and shouldn't be an MOT issue)
The gearstick has decided to expire on me. I spent forty five minutes carefully recreating it out of 7966 shattered pieces, gluing them together, proudly adorning it back on top of the stick only for it to disintegrate after four shifts.
Exterior is fairly tatty in areas, but not massively crappy (optimum range of about 12 feet away)
I've decided to place the logbook in an extremely safe and hidden place, it's actually that secure that even I can't get access to it (I've f*ing lost it)
The ugly:
Well, it's a blue and rather quirky French non turbo diesel hatchback.
I have access to a work automobile now, so this is surplus. Otherwise I would run it into the ground. There is plenty of life left in the old lad, and like I said, MOT until November. I will try my best to find the logbook, otherwise I will deduct you the sum of £25 of whatever amount you decide you want to pay. If nobody wants it, it'll either be flung onto eBay or flung into the garage to act as some sort of shelf for a while.
Car is at my work place, in Collingham. LS22. It will more than likely stay there now, so I can attend to any potential interest through the day. PM for questions/phone number/offers/general hate
Regards
