My everyday car for the last 4.5 years

Pug 106,
its a silver 92' K reg 1.0 XN (105k on the clock) with 4 speed box and a carb

its a very basic car, and its not perfect but is taxed and tested till the end of october - it could have a few years left in it yet


£150 (inc tax)

bring it over we will have a look, you will have a deal If it will make it to Italy and back.

Just bring it over to Fife and I will give you the cash. Im working on the theroy that if it can make it to fife it should make it to ITALY and back lol

I got the car with 60k on it as an MOT failure for £450 (it was a trade-in at a local garage)



here's a quick run through of the bits I've replaced over the years:

oil + filter every 5K (castrol GTX)
air filter every 10k
plugs gapped every 5k - replaced every 10 - 15k

front suspension ball joints and bushes when needed (done a few times now )
bushes are now all Pug genuine parts (they last longer)
{btw - these are easy to do if you have a press, and remove the arm from the car}

60k - new fuel sender

65k - 4x Driveshaft boots (still look good)

70k - rear dampers

80k - timing + fan belts

90k - new clutch

95k - Front brakes (recon calipers, new flexibles, new discs)
- Rear brakes (new drums, new wheels bearings, new shoes, new handbrake linkage)
- new Front dampers and springs
- new exhaust system (there is only 1 pipe + 1 box)

100k - new track rod ends
- Service (air filter, oil + filter, new plugs)

103k - Front wheel bearings
- s/h gearbox (from 59k car)
- driveshaft oil seals
- new gear oil

104k - new ignition amp
- new coil
- new dizzy cap + rotor arm
- new HT leads
- replaced last section of fuel pipe onto carb

some things have been done more than once, but I've only listed the last time it was done

Sounds like the right car for the run to the sun....... dont know where we fit the press in macs hand lugguage

there is no way I'd have done all that if I wasn't planning to keep the car - but plans change

if you add up all the parts - on average I've spent about £250 - 300 a year on the car.....

...which is about the same as its average value over the same time

so there can't be much left to replace
