#1: My 206, Solid Ice and a Rock Face Author: GLX_laney, Location: Plymouth, DevonPosted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 2:52 pm ---- Evening Gents!
Just thought i'd drop a quick post in here. Last night i was coming down a country lane, locked up on some ice and slammed into a rock fascia.
All of the damage was to the front drivers side wheel and wing.
The Recovery guy said i'd snapped the wishbones, the driveshaft had come out and chassis was probably bent.
What are, if any, my chances of repair? It's my first car, and i've had it only a couple of months. It cost me £650 when i bought it.
I'm only Third Party F&T too, so not covered for this incident. My insurers do not yet know.
My original plan was to SORN, strip and scrap the car, but if there's a chance of repair, i'd be delighted.
Thanks for your help. Last edited by GLX_laney on Sat Feb 04, 2012 5:11 pm; edited 1 time in total

body work is dead easy though just keep an eye through ebay!
#3: Re: My 206, Solid Ice and a Rock Fascia Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 2:57 pm ---- perhaps a buckled wheel too?
#4: Re: My 206, Solid Ice and a Rock Fascia Author: GLX_laney, Location: Plymouth, DevonPosted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:00 pm ---- Thanks for your reply Iain. Will i definitely need a new driveshaft, or is there a chance you could just fit the one that has popped out?
And ironically, i picked up a set of brand new alloys (17" TSWs), for Peugeot that evening! Luckily i didnt have them in the car at the time!

Another dead 206 due to ice. Won't be the last one either. If there is a possibility the chassis might be bent, I would get that checked before spending any money on it. If it's not bent, then happy days, you have a project. If it's bent, just strip and scrap.

Thanks for your reply macca. I can't really say it wasnt my fault, as it was my choice to be out driving. On the flip side, i just hope it can be repaired, as not only is it my first (meaning i spent years saving up for it, and hours polishing it before i could afford the insurance!) but i genuinly have 206 love, and i won't be able to pick another one up with the same spec, for the same price again!

What if the Chassis isn't bent? Will it be repairable?

#13: Re: My 206, Solid Ice and a Rock Fascia Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 5:02 pm ---- not worth to repair it.
at the end of the day you can get a proper 206 under a grand.
#14: Re: My 206, Solid Ice and a Rock Fascia Author: GLX_laney, Location: Plymouth, DevonPosted: Sat Feb 04, 2012 5:05 pm ---- That's cool. If anyone wants any parts, i'll be happy to sort you guys out before i organise for it to be scrapped.
