Peugeot 306 Meridian Turbo Diesel estate
1999
1905 cc
76,000 miles
MOT Exp. 13Th June 2017
Good points:
Just had a FULL Service at Halfords Autocentre, Cheadle, Stockport
Engine:
Peugeot had an excellent reputation for its diesel engines and the 306 was originally offered with the XUD series diesel engine in both normally aspirated and turbocharged forms. This engine was initially a 1769cc unit, but its capacity was soon enlarged to 1905cc. The turbocharged version quickly gained a reputation for being a good match for the exceptional handling of the 306. Not only did its outright performance match many similarly sized petrol cars – almost certainly a first for an affordable mainstream diesel – but the carefully designed installation ensured its considerable extra weight did not upset the car's handling. The Indirect Injection XUD Diesel that uses the Ricardo Comet combustion chamber design, is popular for conversion to run on vegetable oil, so long as the Bosch Fuel System is fitted to the engine.
No rust on body
Three new tyres fitted this year @ £165
New Alternator & belt fitted this year (@ £119 for alternator)
Good clean interior with half – leather seats
Radio / CD
Bad points:
Service report noted Front Discs & Pads worn below minimum thickness
Could do with new Heater Plugs (glow plugs) as they are not replaced on a diesel engine full service, it has been a little harder to start on very cold mornings.
Bodywork:
Good overall shine to paintwork, no rust, but slight dent to o/s/f wing and o/s/r wing has been resprayed by cans, but is not a good paint match.
I am selling this because I have acquired a Vauxhall Vectra a little newer and it's petrol, as I don't do many miles now due to being semi-retired I think it will be better on the long run.
This is a sixteen year old car, so don't expect it to be any better than it is, remember, you are buying it for the price of your insurance (or less).
