#1: Does it have front sport wings? PUGGYS DIEDDD :'( Author: jimjam19927, Location: PortsmouthPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:35 am ---- At 94k on the clock the headgasket is going. just had a new clutch and gear box put it so kinda annoying. But stripped her down yesterday back to standard (1.4 black 8v glx) excluding leaving on black spoiler as i cant take it off and leave drill holes, sport front bumper and xsi interior, as sold originals.
BUMMER!! is the word that springs to mind as i was going to put coilovers on and adjust strut brace on saturday (found out on the thursday b4 hand luckily as saved money taking it all off again).
Any whoosss what do people think of this? Main question does it have sport wings on the front ??
1 Owner From New. Full Service History. 55,000 Miles. 12 Months MOT £2390 and i will px my bean can to try lower that price.
I have lots of bits and bobs that will be going on so will do a before and after if i go ahead with the buy. I was going to get a ZR but apparently they are troublesome on headgaskets around 50k and mine had 48k so i stayed clear of it.

Thats what i was thinking but its tidy, Low mileage, Full service history and trade so :/ obv gonna try bump them down but ive been searching for agess. Im stuck as i cant see my 206 privately selling due to the large dent in the left rear quarter pannel and the dents in bonnet and my rents want me to get low mileage car and i need to keep insurance down as i got 3 points for a bold tyre -.- plus im 18 and dont get 2 years no claims untill september :/
#7: Re: Does it have front sport wings? PUGGYS DIEDDD :'( Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:45 am ---- i got my Y reg 1.4 with 20K for just under £2000, i think £2390 is too much with 55,000 miles tbh mate
#8: Re: Does it have front sport wings? PUGGYS DIEDDD :'( Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:49 am ---- also why dont you get the headgasket done if you have already spent loads on it?

Body work is abit poop and i got told i have wet liners so they wouldnt change the head gasket as it wouldnt be cost effective so they said either put a new engine in it or jsut wait for it to go.
#10: Re: Does it have front sport wings? PUGGYS DIEDDD :'( Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:05 am ---- whats wet liners?

Something to do with the headgasket. Basically they told me in general people dont replace 206 head gaskets that have wet liners as its not cost effective :/

PUGGYS DIEDDD :'( Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:17 am ---- You have already spent money on replacing the clutch and gearbox, I would be tempted to say keep it and fix the head gasket and make use of the parts youve just paid to replace
#13: Re: Does it have front sport wings? PUGGYS DIEDDD :'( Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:30 am ---- Seems very pricey to me! I'd hang around a while and see what else comes up tbf. I had a rover 200 and i cant fault them other than there not all that pleasing n the eye, however one of my mates had a ZR and headgasket went within a few months but there pretty nippy little cars, his 1.4 wasnt a million miles away from my XSi.

go to another garage dude, get another opinion. iirc head gaskets arnt that bad a job on 1.4's and dont cost as much as some engines
