Gunna have to sell my focus rs soon to go towards a house. Was thinking one of these or a zetec s again.

I went for the phase1 as there's not many left now and this one has the rare front grill that was only on for 6 months

If it works and does the Job everyone's a winner. Hate French cars though.

I put one of these over a roundabout once because the peddles are to close together and when i hit the brake i also put the gas peddle to the floor lol

dean9595

Should of bought a puma. But you wouldnt get one without rusty arches for 500 quid lol.

The back bearings collapse on the rear beam and the suspension arms tilt in wards so you get massive rear camber lol.

Had a good look round it and alls solid just had a small bit of welding on inner front wing

My mates is a mot tester and said the sealer they put on the sills on Peugeot and Citroen is that thick and hard he said he has had a few with rotten sills but you cant tell cause of the sealer.

It was a cheap hack if it lasts me a year or so great then I'll prob break for more than I bought it for

lewis.philcox

my 306 HDI did the exact same only when my dad was driving it to the scrapyard for me did i notice how dangerous it looked i drove it around for 3 months like it was only £160 so i guess that explains a lot

Maxwell

A vts doesnt even break into £600 these days. Never mind a vtr!!!

I have had plenty of these and will get another polar white phase 2 vts at some point.

Watch out for:

Rear beam play
Under ecu at drivers side, under fuse box at pass side
Bottom arms
Droplinks
Suspension top mount bearings
Sunroof leaking
Sloppy gear linkage

Everything else is pretty much fine on saxos/106s

dean9595

^ i assumed it was a vtr as you never specified what model it actually was!! And now looking at the 2nd pic in post #1, i see its got the rear headrests in (vtrs had wee bumps). And i also noticed the very early front grille too. Well like i said you will be lucky to get £600 breaking it (should you decide to). But to be honest it does look a fairly decent car!! I would tidy it and hold onto it because Saxo VTS' are becoming hard to get. Most are broken due to running gear for conversions and the rest are either rotten or wrote off!!

Ps i have odds and ends like a bare cyl head, coilpack, full loom car and engine, fuel pump and little daft things!!

Here is my daily. Hoping its worth more than £500 though! Lol.

Maxwell

Had a s1 106 XSI last year too lol

dean9595

Few little niggles rev counter and oil temp don't work and small blow in middle exhaust box
And only cool air coming from heater

Rab

Jesus! A standard Mk1 Saxo VTS! not often you see that....

I bought one new in 1999..... Only had it a year before I traded it in on a Polo GTi.

I hated it But that one looks nice!

The oil temp dont work on my 106 either, as for cold heater, check water level. Mine was down to min and air locked. Once bled up properly and topped up with coolant it has been ok. Temp gauge seems to read high,as in the last line on the gauge, but this is normal apparently.

One good thing about french cars they dont seem to rust that bad.

Maxwell

Are you on drugs Glenn??

Im on the beer so getting tipsy if that counts.

I love my fords but I have seen more rusty fords than french shite.

dean9595

As this is all original and no signs of paint there is no rust to be seen on the body
