You've done it again. Buying another now very rare base model that I am absolutely in awe of. We had a 106 in the family. Back in the late-'90s, my mum had a bright red Peugeot 106 1.5 XND 'Graduate' model, M862LKG. It was a true gem, it drove like a much bigger car than it looked. And she put 110,000 miles on it over its first 4 years and nothing at all gave any problems. Great, solid little cars, good fun.
That blue carpet is to die for! 🤩 Those aftermarket mats will keep it out of harm’s way. 😜 An excellent and fun start to your Peugeot 106 adventure, Mr. Hudson! 🙌
Great to see this one close up and in detail. You got lots of jobs and niggles done though for a first kick at the cat. That drip is quite rapid and concerning. Oh well, more surprises to come. Ding, Ding - Round Two soon I hope when you get time. So glad you took the plunge and bought it.
So glad you kept this on the fleet! Solid mot history & great mileage for its year. Check the front inner wings, floor rails & all the boot floor & surrounding area as that's where they typically go. The rear torsion bar axle arrangement should be okay given the mileage & the exhaust rattle could be failure of the inner baffles in the back box. The front cabin leakage is often attributed to the channel section below the windscreen or occasionally the lower windscreen seal. Happy motoring in your grand little 106! 👍😉
Love watching your videos Sion, your not afraid to get stuck in and give it a go whereas I feel I would be a frank Spencer and make things much worse, you found a little gem there my uncle used to have one identical in red, I can still hear the loud diesel Knock if it starting and that was in 1993 lol.. they really are bulletproof and the blue carpet reminds me of an xsi I once had, keep up the fettling and look forward to more updates!! Enjoy the jungle massive music 😂
Got the same car! 1992 K-reg XN but with a petrol engine and in Black paintwork! Same issue with paint on roof but rest of car good. Top of dash faded and no product i have tried will revive it. Same seats which i think are very rare now. Mine are perfect! Put covers on and keep it out of the sun!! Never had any big issues with it, but only 112,000 thousand miles done. It's a Sunday driver now as i have a current Suzuki to use daily. Good luck with it! I will look forward to updates.
The accelerator was metal. My mum had a late mark one N reg special edition Escapade in silver which I drove a fair bit after passing my test in 2000. A really fun, responsive car with a lovely gear change. It was the first car we had with luxuries such as remote central locking. It was the era of Peugeot's really fun special editions with nice logos which even continued onto the car mats. I wish I'd bought it off her!
If you want to change that comedy instrument binnacle, with the world's largest fuel gauge, it's very easy, as Peugeot used a common wiring loom for all trim levels. Keep an eye on the boot floor where it meets the wheel tubs. That's a serious rust spot. You can sometimes see it going behind the rear shocks in the rear arches.
I spent many miles and hours as a passenger commuting with a work colleague car sharing in his 106 Diesel, although one of the later ones. It cruised fine on the motorway and bombed along on the country lanes. Looks a solid car shame about the battered paintwork and hope the engine is OK.
I think that on the first generation Peugeot 106 the accelerator pedal does not have a rubber cover, you can see this in a complete test of a basic 1st generation petrol version on the youtube channel Authentiquesautos in French, it is a 100% original version with nothing modified
Nice video. My first car was a 106 XN Graduate 1.1 in this colour with this interior. It cost me £200 in 2005 with 2 months MOT. The sunroof leaked, due to my size, my head always rubbed the glass, and the heater matrix would give my left foot a bath. But, it had only done 73k and was a great car for my first car. I miss it. My second car was registered around the same time as this. A 306 1.6 with the reg K423 VVH, very similar to your reg. Oh. The cig lighter goes in that larger blanking plate in the dash. 👍
One of the best cars I've owned was a new Mk 1 106 Escapde 1,5 Diesel in 1995 until some sod in a Renault 5 ran into me and totalled it. The insurance replaced the car with a Mk 2 XND 1.5, nothing but trouble with that car. The Mk1 though, brilliant.🙂👍
Nice! I used to have a 106 Diesel on a N plate in silver. Don’t see many of these about now. If you don’t want the Warning tape, I would happily take it off you 👍🏼
Loads of these in that sort of condition wobbling around parts of the near continent where they are less precious about their cars - this would be transport - low cost pure and simple and a step up from a donkey. No harm in that though.
Great stuff! Love the start up, such a reassuring sounding little engine, it'll take you anywhere. How did the wheels come out after using the Bilt Hamber (presumably Hydrate 80)? I used it on my Beetle steelies recently and found it very difficult to sand away the brush marks left by painting it on! Or did you sensibly spray it on?!

The carpet is amazing. I love the bright interiors on these little gems
Great car and interesting video
I love the little jobs that make a big difference. Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you

You cant beat a Deisel 106 peugeot. Lovely motor enjoy.

Great job, Siôn. I think you can get excellent results with a spray can of the correct paint, I would even consider spraying the whole roof.
What a wee gem, great colour and well worth some of your TLC.
I like your vids , nice and chilled,

And funnily enough despite being well looked after the paint was starting to craze on the bonnet after 8 years!
Great car to add to your fleet of base spec cars. 👍

Great work Sion! I do love these sorts of videos where lots of things get accomplished.
A machine polish will make the world ofndifference to the 106!

I've just taken it on a 200 mile journey yesterday, and it was such a comfortable and refined cruiser.

A machine polish you say?...I guess this means I have booking upcoming? 😜❤
You know it!

Im in a hospital waiting room trying my hardest not to laugh at the music on that cassette 😂😂😂
Wishing you all the best at hospital
@Anthologylife14 ah thank you nothing serious 😊
Glad it made you laugh 😅☺️
Nice! I used to have a 106 Diesel on a N plate in silver. Don’t see many of these about now.

I highly recommend getting a rubber pad to sit inside your jack - it doesn’t look like you have one fitted? Metal on metal = eeek!
Loads of these in that sort of condition wobbling around parts of the near continent where they are less precious about their cars - this would be transport - low cost pure and simple and a step up from a donkey. No harm in that though.
@13:08 I use an old 6-inch machine polishing pad as a spacer to stop the jack making its mark on the car's underside there.
Great idea! Thank you
How blind must the former owner have been to drive so many dents and scratches into such a small car...??? 😳😳😳
The music is iconic! Get yourself some 2 Unlimited too, to listen to. '93 had some bangerz :D
Oh gosh I love 2 Unlimited - Maximum Overdrive is an underrated banger
I know.... Boom Boom Boom let's go back to my room stuff!
@@MorselsAndMotors I do not think I had ever watched the video for that until now. Iconic. Crying laughing at the acting choices😂
Hey Sion, nice Peugeot, great video also, thought I'd let you know though that your white Escort and white Mark 1 Fiesta MoTs have expired
Mog mpg mpg would be good to see a long run mpg challenge on this little beauty
A common reason for leaks might be from the drainage pipe for the sunroof being blocked with debris
Normally I would absolutely think this too, but these pop up sunroofs don’t have drainage channels!
Can we see a full service on this and a good clean up 👍

My old Citroen AXs (which essentially this car is) had naked accelerator pedals 😊
Thank you, I’m sure the ‘naked’ one is right for the 106 too
Hi. Will be following as I just bought a 1.5 diesel myself. How did you manage to decode the radio?
This is the type of car, back in the day, you could get as your first one for a few hundred quid
I know, those were the days
