Newbie!

Post by Muzzy »

Hey, im Muzzy from Inverness. Currently drive a 206 1.1 (broken) but have previously owned an L reg 106 Rallye, 306 TD and a 106 1.1. Currently on the lookout for a cheap 205 to start a project with, was on the search for another Vauxhall Nova but after 28 previous i thought i should maybe try out something new :lol:

Well, there are lots and lots of things you can do to a 205 John :D

Muzzy, welcome :D I've replied to your 205 post in the Peugeot area of the forum :wink:

Just as long as you have no plans afoot to put an Activa engine in it , all should be well. There are a lot of us on here who love and adore our Activas and get rather upset when we see them being used as engine donors for various Pugs :evil: They're very fine cars and they deserve a better fate...

Please Jim, don't give him ideas about engines... :evil:

28 previous Vauxhall Corsas.

I'm one to talk I know and also have my own particular feelings about Corsas,
but I have to say that either they:
  • a] don't last 5 minutes before terminating as there so hit or miss jackyl & hyde you have to have a constant drip feed
    b] are so fantastic you can never have enough
    c] it's damned difficult to find a decent one
    d] you're a glutten for punishment
Just wait till a Peugeot 205 wins your heart and head; you may even
branch into the really weird stuff call Citroens...

Absolutely right Andrew. I came to Citroens by way of Pugs and never looked back :D

I suggest you simply skip the 205 stage in your automotive evolution and go straight to an Activa :)

Then, after a year or two, get yourself a V6!!!!

It's an easy conversion and they fly with a 1.9TD under the bonnet...

I recommend that engine swap wholeheartedly Xac :D
