Tom: 108 with 1.2 82bhp would be nippy enough, but they are a lot more expensive brand new, and id miss the torque big time! Decided against it for many reasons!
Red: Thats the thing, couldnt go back a few steps in performance, want more really as stage 1 is pretty boring most of the time. PH1 DT would be going back a step in every way from the HDI, bar running it on veg aha, but wouldnt get another 306 as they are at an age now where you need to find a good one for it not to give you loads of issues.
Sam: Good point re identified issues and get on and fix them rather than getting another unknown car. Yeah would be £99 wasted when I could be having a bit of fun in the 306 I suppose! Cheers Sam, great post!
Matt: Is it actually really easy fitting the cable? Would rather buy a £20 rebuild kit and get it done and forgot about! my mechanic is £20 an hour aha but a long journey away from yours
Frost: Good point Frost, cheers.
Ozone: Thanks for the experience and knowledge ozone aha.
Matt: Megane would be nice, but says 0-60 in 8.3 which is about the same as my stage 1 hdi to be honest! A stage 2 will get it down to 7 seconds, and with 4k having no left my pocket (which i havent got anyway) and 10 mpg less it doesnt seem worth it! Would rather fix and stage 2! Cheers though dude
RP: FZS are nice, but a bit out of my price range, like the megane, and not sure it would do the miles I do without more issues than the 306! And depreciation would kill it compared to losing nothing with the 306!
Just going to fix the 306 and get some Stage 2 bits together for a low but reliable Stage 2
