This certainly wont be the most exciting threads on here but i didnt see the harm in me putting it up on here even if it only serves as to motivate me a bit and its something for me to do at work (after all Ash has a thread which is four pages long and all he did was buy an alloy gear knob )

So after making the terible mistake of selling my blaze 6 over a year ago i find myself in another one!



Bit of an impulse purchase but seems as though i got a fair deal

So in febuary i got this!



Black, Phase 3, 100K, Bog standard, Full Pug History and 3 owners also had the bonus of being HPI Clear

I have to say its one of the most genuine cars ive come across, car came with a mountain of paperwork (all peugeot) all 3 keys, original numberplates, car mats, tax disc holder and keyrings. Even had the supplying dealers sticker still in the rear window!









The downsides were (aside from not being blaze) :

Split in the rear bumper



Scuff on the front bumper



Few odd marks where the paint has come away for some reason - im guessing its birdshit and the old dear that it before me wasnt particularly vigilant with getting it off!



The drivers seat has a small hole in it



Other issues were the wheels were in need of a refurb and the front wipers seemed to have a mind of their own, remote locking doesnt work and one of the spare keys wont start the car

A few weeks after this i bought a black rear bumper off Ash without a crack in it, so i slammed that on it.

Put some batteries in the keys and reprogammed them which got the remote locking working on one. The other one wont work and still doesnt start the car either

I took the car to leicester to visit Carl for a new cambelt kit and water pump and he recoded my keys aswell so they are all working and remote locking is working on all of them now too

Sometime later I took a trip to the local breakers (Furbers, Whixhall) to see if i can get a new wiper motor for the front

I stumbled across a Phase 2 6 all smashed up in the corner with a pretty mint interior in it, so managed to negotiate that for £50 with a front wiper motor thrown in aswell

New Interior





I noticed the phase 2 seats seem way comfier than the ones that came out of it and managed to sell the ones out of it for £51 on ebay so made a cheeky profit there!

Also fitted the wiper motor which sorted the problem!

In regards to flashing airbag light, if it turns out you need new airbag ecu's and control units etc, let me know and you can have mine for a small amount of money

Good read as well.

Looking good mate and my latest 6 has also been supplied by Davids at Riptin sometime in its live

So why are they relating to two different places and garages then?

Solder the wires together, bit of shrink wrap, do it properly and it (should) never need doing again.

Thanks. I have still got the damaged bumper which is free to a good home and I've also got another black one which is in excellent condition for £25.
