Lad picked it up yesterday think he said he was going to sign up on here.

So here's my new mota

Well got this yesterday, not the sort of thing for me to have. A normal car but oh well it's cheap, cheap to run, comfy and the mrs likes it :tu

bit of damage on the offside rear quarter but nothing major, and the drivers door strap has broke so i need to make a new bracket for that. Erm oh the exhaust rattles on the bumper a bit and the air bag light is on.

It's had,

new clutch
new mintex discs and pads
new osf wheel bearing
new kenwood headunit lol
new rocker gasket
new front shocks
new front lowering springs
tyres are all good conti's all round.

£400 can't complain really tax and tested till Sept. Oh and the obvious little dings here and there from when his mrs kicked shit out of it lol

Ahh! how did i not see the airbag issue on here lol.

Common fault on Peugeot and Citroen alike of this age, check the plugs under the seats that go to the setbelt pretensioners, they get worn out by the sliding action of the seats, should be bright orange connectors.

lowered the torsion bar today.

Ball ache city. Seized like a CUNT. shockers took about an hour to get off lol air gun wouldn't touch them! and then one of the torsion bars was solid. Had the 14lb sledge on it swinging it like a mad man and it didn't budge.....................for a while about 3 hours lol anyways, done it now.

Didn't want to go to low with it, just thought I'd match the front.
