Pug 206 GTI (180BHP) for £1500

Anything i should look for / do to make it nicer/run better? :P

It goes like Stink and im surprised i can fit in it at 6ft 8, it has the manifold rattle like my 307 had its a common issue with the inner manifold that needs to have its ends welded.

Overall im happy, did i mention it goes like stink :P

See the above, Service / Cam Belt due but i know someone who is well priced, it also a broken climate control unit, which are £45 2nd hand, wired in a switch to bypass the unit and it works fine :P I have de-mist function! :)

timing belt isnt hard to do on those - make sure and do the tensioner and maybe the water pump at the same time.

getting it done right is absolutely critical, as those are as sensitive to improper tension and setup as the mi16.

2.5 hours should see it.


Bacon

It would appear its not a 180 and ive been conned, the 180 didnt come out until 2003.


Great..
