#1: Epic result :) Author: HowlingMadMurdock, Location: Ashington, NorthumberlandPosted: Sat Apr 23, 2016 10:56 am ---- Junior went in for the MoT yesterday and I got the call from the garage this morning with the cost.
X-reg car with 150k on the clock, 1.4 8v. She gets driven like I stole her. Paid £500 for her 5 years ago. She's cost me nothing but exhaust and 2 part worn tyres.
MoT cost inc test £92.60.
Failed on a tyre having a crack in the rubber, emissions. Tony put a new tyre on and put some fuel treatment in, hey presto.
Advisories....
Anti rollbar (will cost £25)
Slight corrosion to front coils (buy from eBay and £40 per side fitting)
Slight corrosion to front barkeline (next to nothing)
Like Tony says, the 8v's are built like tanks

Now I've got a 2.0 GTi which I got pretty cheap and you can see the difference. To be fair the previous owner ragged it to within an inch of its life but still...
Only issue I've ever had was gearbox on the 8v. Pretty sure they're made of cheese...

Driven loads of different PSA Peugeot / Citroen products with TU / MA power unit / transmission combination over the last 20+ years & ive yet to break one.
My 13 year old TU3 206 is at 108K miles now & apart from a clutch replacement at 97K the transmission has been faultless.
