G/I 205 Dturbo? Read within.....
#54
Put a few liters of diesel in the 205 on the weekend and jump started it. It runs fine amazingly. Gets upto temperature fine. I would tell you what the temperature gauge reading was but it's a pov spec 205 so doesn't have one flol.


If anyone is Brave enough to want to drive it away then I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

Things I would recommend before driving any sort of distance though.

A battery. The current one doesn't hold enough charge for more than a couple of start attempts

New wheels on the front. The current tyres are far from legal.
A headlight bulb and holder as for reasons unknown to me the previous owner removed it on the n/s light.

Lots of bottles of water just in case

Some form of travel companion/recovery car because it's so woefully slow you will be bored to the point you hope it breaks so you have something to do


I'd still recommend towing/trailoring away but see no reason why you can't drive it home, tax and test until Feb 2014

£260 for the car plus another £80 for a complete d8a xud9te



Someone have it, so much potential for win :-D
