It happened to the 216SLi I bought my ex new in '97, she ended up scrapping the car because of it earlier this year. It needed a complete new engine and radiator, but the cost outweighed what it was worth. Shame because it was a really good car until that happened.

Whats a... C A R...?

There are usually warning signs for K-series HGF. Presumably these were not evident in this case and she had a total failure?

Well people seem to be posting car history to some extent.....so heres mine.....

My Chav 306 (I had a 205 1.2 before this) that I spent a fortune on.....live and learn



My 205 1.9 gti fun/project car that never really came to anything



My stupidly clean concourse 106 rallye



My Slaguna that I managed to clean up to a similar kind of condition.....then it broke and I lost interest in it......when it broke the turbo and engine completely knackered, but as the turbo wasnt working it returned some good MPG





Finally one of the work cars I destroyed hitting a deer.....The only picture I have of it as its such a naff car I have never wanted any other pics of it lol

Best car I have owned, bought it for £3900......kept it for 3 years only ever had to service it and replace the tyre and sold it for £3700

Its a fake rallye....

only difference between that and the saxo VTR is errrrrrrrr...... shock absorbers, and a limited run.

This is a real rallye, and even this- I concede, is 2nd play to the mighty european 205 rallye!

edit, - this was mine, bought it chaved, and eventually put it back to standard.

alloys to steels
Fog lights (perminant feed) to Grilles
Windows.. never did tget round to

You've all seen my car Missus has just bought a 97 Ka, I'm driving it for a while. Wow, how much fun is that

Pah the slower 1.3.....the 1.6 engine was more powerful than the VTR as well by about 15bhp VTR = 90 Rallye = 105

Those 1.3 S1 saxo owner always were bitter that they couldnt keep up

(Rings out Curvy V Pointy doesnt it lol)

Yes the carbed 1.4 Euro 205 Rallye with the riveted arches was always the best, why the UK got utter crap yellow and white standard 1.4 205 vans with windows I will never know.
