Ok, so I managed to find this at a price too good to miss. 1 owner from new 1.8 zetec S.
If anyone wants a decent 206 hdi, check the for sale section lol

That looks really nice tbh, tempted to look for the ZS kit in black lol.

Erm, mine only has 5 gears too
Sits at 1750rpm @ 60mph which isn't too bad compared to the 206. Just needs a tyre and a radio code from ford as it recently had a new battery

It does!? Sure I'd read they were 6 speed same as the 2.0. I don't sit at 60 but 70 is over 2k in the 1.6.
Not sure if Ford charge for the codes but if they do there's someone on here that might be able to help lol.

You cant be complaining at that Tom when a 306 hdi sits at 2.4K at 70 :LOL:

I'll prob just keep the 330d tbf, rather than risk buying a car to save money and end up with stupid repair costs. Spending £300 odd in diesel a month now, Walsall to Warwick/Gaydon everyday

My 1.6 only just scrapes 50mpg at 70. The 1.9CDTi Vectra was lucky to scrape 45mpg at 70. Only one I've had any good at motorway speed was the 1.9 PD130/180 Golf, 60mpg+ on cruise at 70.

Exactly why i'm selling the 206.
At 70mph its at 2,100ish, same as my 330d
730d was 1,750rpm at 70mph, joy of having a 6th gear
Regarding radio codes, it's the newer style stereo. All the forums with codes seem to be for the older version. Ford charge £23, which isn't too bad

Warwick and Gaydon suggests that you work for JLR? or Aston Martin?
Nice looking car by the way. Looks good

And congrats for getting it nice work. It wasn't long ago I was strolling round your old line to have a look.
I started back in 2012 as an apprentice then became an IMT in machining.
I don't have a black one nah. I have a medium blue one. Supprised I ain't seen you in the car park.
