A small car and a small project, a 2006 Citroen C1 1.0 Rhythm. The first generation Citroen C1 is basically the same car as the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107, and at the moment they are desireable due to the cost of living crisis. These cars use little fuel (50 imperial MPG average fuel consumption), are cheap to fix, cheap to insure and cheap to tax. This example was bought for £250. It was running and had a MOT, but needing work. Here we clean the car up, fix a fuel leak and make a thorough assessment of its condition before moving on to the next job, which is to replace the clutch. Once the car was car was cleaned up, it drove on the road surpsiringly well, but the gear shift was difficult and the release bearing screaming. At that point a new clutch kit was bought. It was just as well becuase once removed the clutch disc was starting to break up! Although the clutch failure was a set back the car has little rust and has some recent new parts like a full new exhaust and front brake disc/pads. It had even been recenty serviced. Every penny counts with a project like this!
My Aygo did over 300 miles on 1 tank of premium. That's £45 to fill to the top. The Aygo, C1 and 107 generally haven't changed since the new models came out in 14', nothing mechanically goes wrong on them, the clutch was upgraded to the Exceedy one that lasts much longer and the timing chain doesn't need changing until a high mileage. Cheap, reliable and fun motoring.
Remove high level brake light and seal with silicone, it's almost certain to leak, more so than the lights or weather seal, speaking from experience.
Tea break. most british thing
Big Cat in the garage 7.50? cheap daily obligatory but bit of a performance delta😄
I love these things, I've actually got TWO Mk2 C1's, both bought written off from Copart and I fixed up myself, great little cars and have to be one of the cheapest forms of motoring you can possibly get.
I've driven and owned fast cars, big cars, expensive cars, and although they're great, a car like this is all you need 99% of the time, especially here in the UK where the traffic is so bad you can't actually use any of a cars performance.
Absolute steal. Great video 👍🏼
I do like a small French car 😌
Tres Bien
If not using rear seats ..bin them.. carpet boot.. 1 loads od storage 2 lighter car . More mpg.
Hi,,, are c1 of this era generally still free from corrosion to body?
I would say no. This example was above average condition for lack of rust even if it had lots of dents. You really want to be looking carefully for rust along the inner and outer sills and particularly the rear subframe mounting points on C1/107/Aygo of this era.
My 08 is rust free even though it lives on the drive in all weather's.
Why have you sorned your X Type 3.0 ?
I don’t own the X-type anymore.
