    Good video Forbes. I have missed tons of your content which I will rectify. Great to see you building a history of the car and yes it would be a shame to give up now.
    Keep up the good work 👍🏻

    Brilliant! The silver 205 is fixed 🙂

      It is! Hopefully it’s a long term fix, he’s getting a little overboost which is catching me off guard in town driving but otherwise is as strong as it’s ever been 🤞

    Great video mate. Any mods coming. I picked up a 2007 Peugeot 207 1.6 HDi a few months ago in a lovely Metallic blue. It’s had a full leather seat conversion from a XSi. Has 17 inch Hockenheim Peugeot GTI alloys. I have recently had it lowered 45mm , 20mm spacers at the back to bring the wheels out a bit. It needed new brake pads and discs all round whicb has been done. Great little diesel was a good price and only done 60k miles for £2000 i paid. Love chav in it up but in a OEM standard look way no aftermarket over the top wheels etc. I’m in Plymouth too ;)

      Hey Kris! I’m hoping to do some bits and pieces. I have the 1.6 HDI in another Peugeot we have, well worth getting hold of HDI Tuning if you haven’t already, they can remap that bad boy from 110bhp to 140, makes them rapid ;)

    Wonder if the bloke nudged one of the fuel lines whilst changing the clutch cable. My 1.7td was a bugger for letting air into the fuel lines and causing problems. Ended up with a new fuel filter houseing on it.

      It was quite odd in the end, I think it sucked a load of crude into the nozzles when I limped it back home, it went in for retuning and had a weird surging fault every now and again but has since cleared up fully ‘by itself’ 😅

      @retrooutput i regret selling mine haha. I watched your video when it was stuttering and looks to me like air in the injector pipes. Must of cleared up on its own. You can crack them off a small amount one by one whilst running to bleed it out on the top of the injectors. It will dribble a small amount of diesel.

    The reason you keep having problems with all your 205s you buy the phase 2 models 1994 onwards if you buy one from 1985-1992 they are the best ones and you wont have any problems sadly the phase 2 models were built with a smaller budget and arent as good as the phase 1/1.5 ones

    • @lewwal1957
      @lewwal1957 Год назад

      Also the phase 2 models arent galvanised

    • @retrooutput

      It’s not so much being phase 2 that any issues occur, it’s mostly centralised with later cars (1995/1996) as those were mostly old stock used up at the end of production. I’ve had plenty of ones from the late 1980’s too which certainly are stronger body shells when it comes to rust resistance, but I do favour the later ones for small aesthetic changes.
      The real issue I ever have with any of them is I don’t pay more than £400 for them, so they’re mostly neglected.
