So I've had plenty of 306's in the last 14yrs or so, but never a Rallye. Up until September of last year I was running about in a Clio 172, however I fancied a change. After a bit of looking about on here and exchanging PM's and Phonecalls I ended up swapping my 172 for Wilyoldave's Bianca Rallye.

110k mileage, totally standard throughout apart from P3 Crystals with Peugeot headlight protectors, clear side repeaters, a longlife cat-back system and an Alpine HU.
As soon as I got the car it went into the garage for Cambelt/Waterpump/Tensioners/Aux belt. I have since covered a few hundred miles in the last 3 to 4 months or so.

Just recently I've fitted a new battery and picked up some winter wheels from Anth (Cyclones with Kumho winter tyres). Some may say overkill at the moment due to weather being mild, but the main use of the car is weekend mornings on the way to golf. I can be leaving my house at 6am onwards and driving on very slippery country lanes, most of the time the temperature is less than 5 degrees. So these will stay on the car for the next 4-6 weeks or so.

I also have a near new set of Michelin PE2's in the garage which will be used once winter wheels are off, just need to buy some refurbed anthracite cyclones.

Over the weekend I noticed that the front calipers have seized, or seizing to the point where the front wheels do not freely spin. I'm going to replace these with some refurbed units along with fitting braided hoses. The pads and discs were recently changed so these will stay for now. Going to also fit some gear rods from Miles and change the gear oil.

Other plans are to give the car a good clean and polish. The rear end seems yellowy, but a quick clean and polish on a small area at the weekend showed promise, so more to be done here. Then it's a case of replacing the red stickers with some grey ones.

The pics below are from Dave's ownership, I have not taken many myself as I've not really used the car.

Nice motor mike....

Got some nice TDs which would look good on there....

Loving the clio had a couple of blips with it (2 injectors in 3 weeks failed!) but apart from silly little things its all good, just fitted an induction kit sounds mental on full chat!

Hope youre still loving the rallye, glad it went to a good home!

Dave.

Thanks for the comments guys, more photo updates to come in the next few weeks as a few bits are done to it.

Dave, glad to hear the 172 is serving you well. The Rallye is in safe hands, shame we didn't sort something out with those TD's

Morettes:

So I had P3 Crystals on but thought I'd give these a go. Indicator unit nearside isn't very good and needs a connector block sorting for it. The unit itself has some slight cracking and ideally they'd be best suited to a track car rather than a day to day car, anyway here are the pics

Before and After

Next up, the car needs a clean. A proper paint renovation and polish. I have limited skills but will have a go. Plus the engine bay needs cleaning too

Also on the list is suspension re-fresh and lowering it a touch
