Well, obviously I wasn't going to stay Citroen-free for long.
Today I bit the bullet and went and gave a nice man some money and my 207 for the 08 plate Picasso GP that I saw on Thursday that had a knackered clutch.
Clutch has been replaced. Invoices and warranty for 40k. Drives nicely now and it all works so far. It's a 1.8 Petrol engine, 5 speed manual gearbox. VTR so manual AC and no nav but a very comprehensive history.
So far, so good. Mrs. Michel likes it. Michel junior likes it and bikes and enormous amounts of shopping fit in the back...
I shall be fixing the things that are annoying me this week, and if I can find a slightly obsessive man who's good at wielding a tape measure, I'll fit some parking sensors..
It needs.. Well, a cable for aux in. It has some minor scratches to T-cut out. One of the door seals needs sorting out as it's a little noisy. It is clean enough inside but not clean enough so the steam cleaning man is coming to do it properly.

Re: Picasso Procrastination
I do have a tape measure, and I also have a Lexia. Wednesday?
However, I wonder if you can get a look at the inside of the bumpers? It might be possible to see where officially mounted sensors have their mouldings.

Wednesday would be good if I can find a set on that Amazon plate that are a reasonable colour match for "metallic turd brown"..

Re: Picasso Procrastination
Many thanks Richard. VIN is .... 45356393
Obviously, it'll be the expensive one. Mine works, it's just really worn and white where it should be black.

Re: Picasso Procrastination
I wonder if our local scrappy might have any GPs there? Might be worth a visit. I was there recently, but I was not looking for those vehicles.
