Overdue update on this thread, the car was off the road for 6 months over the summer so i could swap my insurance over to the dt but i've now put this back on the road as of last month. Had to do some work to it before it went back on the road. Had a good look over it to see how it was all looking but found out it needed some welding. I decided as it was all try to get any welding sorted and the underside cleaned off and protected/sealed. It needed some welding in the passenger side inner arch and where the rear seat bases bolt down had corroded away, that was the main bits. Had to drop the tank to sort the seat mount bits so while that was down i cleaned and under sealed that. As well i replaced both the front to rear brake pipes, rear flexi hoses and rear brake pipes to the wheel cylinders as well as replacing the wheel cylinders. So now underneath it is all looking pretty good and hopefully won't need to worry about it for a few years. Got it all mot'd so that's all good for the next 12 months as well.
Also i wanted to try and sort the water leak i seem to have that gets the roof lining wet in the back so i dropping the lining out and had a mate poor water over the roof and that seem to show the boot seal was the issue. I was struggling to find a decent 2nd hand one and i couldn't see peugeot still selling them so i got a universal one on ebay that seem to have done the job. The link if anyone is interested http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322088879953?_...EBIDX%3AIT (i got 5 metres as wanted to be sure i had enough)
Few other bits i done was fitted another set of speakers into the rear quarters and ran wires back for them and also fitted a usb, cigarette lighter and volt gauge into the dash as the standard cigarette lighter didn't work and i think this looks pretty cool.
Im waning this as a cheap run around now so pretty much running it mainly on veg to try and save some money where i can. Only other thing i can think of is it wasn't starting very well in the mornings last week so i check the glow plugs yesterday to find i had 2 not working so fitted a full set of bosch ones i had in my tool box.
Sorry for the lack of pics, ill try and sort that out this week with a few. Thanks for reading.
