What's left to do before it will make a fault-free outing?

That's it now. Might take a look at the clutch over the winter but it's nothing that desperately needs doing.
Next job to do over the winter is to order a shorter radiator with 2x fans, longer trumpets and a big filter. Then it will need mapping again.

Who on this forum said the air conditioning on a 206 weighs 50kg??? They were talking our of their hat. I weighed mine and the pump, radiator and piping all weigh just 10kg.
I decided to remove all of mine because I decided to remove two nuts on a big grommet on the bulkhead. The intention was to see what was behind the grommet, but it let the gas out!!! Oh well, it's not worth regassing the system on a car which is used for just 400 miles a year. So I might as well bin all the air conditioning as this will also provide more space for a shorter wider radiator.
So I bought a new belt from the Peugeot dealer for £22.
I fitted it before the air con pump was removed just to make sure it fits.
Front bumper had to be removed and the radiator housing moved to allow the air con condensor to be removed. It all came apart very easily. The only pipes that needed to be cut were the long ones that run along the inner wing behind the engine to the bulkhead. I wanted to remove them without cutting but it's impossible.
Until I find what lower spec cars with no aircon have here I've left two stubs...Anybody know how to remove the evaporator from the car?
One big space where the pump used to be...

liking it Ed! When you bought your new header tank mate could you see the coolant level clearly? Been quoted £180 to have a custom alloy header tank made with sight glass

Nope. As long as I can the coolant a couple of inches from the top of the tank I'm happy.

Not really any point when the standard item does the job.

A standard engine does the job. 
Looks amazing mate. You might have a hassle free summer this year.

But the standard reservoir is perfectly adequate even with a modified engine. If an aftermarket part doesn't really perform any differently then can it be justified? The new coolant reservoir is perfectly fine.
I did think about a customer reservoir but that would still mean I'd have to buy the newer style heater hose which was the problem originally. New hose and new standard reservoir means there are no problems anymore.

Did a bit more messing tonight. All the wiring is neat and tidy and covered in split convoluted tubing, all joins are made with T or Y pieces. There is no exposed insulation tape anywhere - except for one small area above the gearbox where there is some exposed blue tape. Can do better.
So it all got stripped down measured up for more T pieces and tubing so everything is hidden.
Also as the air conditioning has been removed that meant some extra wiring could be cut out too. If it's not needed it might as well not be there. There's something really satisfying about cutting out old wiring and making it all simpler.
Also the original ECU uses the PAS pressure sensor to increase engine revs when the pump is loaded. The Omex doesn't use this so the plug for the sensor can be binned too.
All resulted in this lot being removed.
New tubing and T pieces are on order so should be finished in the next couple of days.
I also have lovely verniers...
