I would be new to the forum (use wise) I have already browsed via google for the odd thing, like how to get access to the rear wipe motor... Etc.
I had a 1997-R 1.6 Vivant from 2010-2012 as my first car.
I now have a 1999-V 2.0 HDi DTurbo.
I have driven several cars of other peoples and I just <3 the 306! Can't imagine wanting to drive anything else.
Will probably be more active in my searching for answers on how to do stuff than actually posting as I'm usually busy all day most days. I would like to be active though if I can.
It has done 83k and has some issues, missing spoiler, some dents and paint chipping on bumpers. The rear wiper doesn't work so will be removed. The alloys are in dire condition, so I'll be refurbishing them too. Little things like that... Which your forum has already helped me with ideas/ways of sorting.
Anyway... Nice to join you all.
You've done pretty well to find one on 83k! Doesn't look as bad as you are making it out to be though, get some more pictures up
I'll try get some more pictures over the next few days.
The alloys are worse than they look in the photo, think previous owners had a thing for kerbs...
It's nothing I can't sort out though.
Anywhere on forum for selling a car? (Edit: Found it don't worry! lol)

Pretty sure some of the glow plugs need replacing as on start it sounds like it's going to stall, but after about 30 seconds it sounds fine. I've got a mechanic coming Tuesday to look it over and see if anything needs doing.
Thanks for the welcome.
i think get it on some lows and get those clones gloss black and your defo on to a keeper there mate!

Sorting the cyclones is on my agenda. Not sure about black, was thinking cream or white.
But lowering is probably not a good idea unfortunately because of work and places I have to get to.

Thanks.
I hope so. It's at the mechanics now having a once over to check what if anything needs doing before I use her. Time will tell.
Well. I'm just back from the garage and here's what my lovely mechanic says about my Vicki...
No rear brake pads. (Reason handbrake isn't working)
Drivers side anti-roll link gone. (Rattle, knew this anyway.)
Battery or alternator not working (needs jump starting at present)
Cam belt tensioner had about an inch of movement and has frayed the belt itself.
Someting is wrong with either temperature or fuel sensor due to the dodgy nature of the engine at start up. (he rules out injector seeing as it runs beautifully when it up to temperature, but is going to check the fuel filter anyway)
She has had her cat removed in a 'brutal manner' (apparently not an issue now, but the way it has been done in a way which will degrade the exhaust very quickly).
Soo.... She has some issues but nothing unfixable. Especially based on how long I've had my eye on one of these and at a price I can afford.
I have an unopened drop link for sale if you don't already have one
