Where are the rust hotspots on these cars and anything else that should be looked for?


Cheers PaulT

 

front inner wings
bottom corner where the door meets te sheel
top as per above
boot floor
by headlights

they should have much rust as they are galvanised,

check the rear beam isnt seized, very commen

if it feels flat, it's probably a worn out afm

rear brakes are rubbish

 

Wow I never new that. Always wondered why the one I had was totally utterly rust-free! Was an E plate and I had it in about 1998 so wasn't a new car even then by any means.

 

when i stripped mine the sound deadening was soaking wet, wiped the floor and it was all shiney

 

Peugeot's are the best!

My mechanics 205 gti6'd track beast!







He like peugeots too, this is his drive

 

SEEN the 205 on the pug forums


nice looking car

 

Blimey he likes his pugs

 

Hes got more round the back and down his workshop! hes got a 306 rallye with just over 200 miles on it on a W plate!

Its a J plate 1.6 in grey going to have a look tomorrow, seen a few quick ones going round curborough will post pics if i have it.

Cheers for the pointers PaulT

 

ive got one and i love it, if it idles funny then dont worry, they all seem too at some stage! as said, check rear beam, knocking is never a good thing, neither is squeeking!

if it has rust then there shouldnt be much, if it has lots then that suggests its had a shunt/repair at some stage!

 

craigscott, any movement at all is a bonus sometimes

 

oh,and dont worry if the temp looks a little high on the gauge!its done in degrees rather than cold to hot,mine always sat at about 3/4 when warm which was apparently right,unlike every other car that likes to sit half way up.

 

well mine must be an odd one

run half way with 1.9 engine even on track

run's less than half with gti6 engine


i have put a new nissens rad on mine mind, so that probably is it
