Peugeot 106 repair

mrooqie

Hi Everyone,

I had to go to garage with my P106 and they said basically that my gear box mount is almost gone and must be replaced. Has anyone idea what would be the cost of replacing that element? They didnt tell me, i have to go again on Wed a then they will quote it

Cheers

A gearbox mount wont be expensive, ebay have versions for Rally/GTI models for less than 30 pounds so you shouldn't pay too much.

Pug 106 rallye?*Opens can of worms...:)*


The 106 Rallye was originally devised as a homologation special for the one make European rally series which became a small marketing excersise. Production of the S2 106 Rallye started in 1997 and it continued to 2000 (1998 for British imports) when production ceased to make way for a new 16valve rallye (not available in the UK). To date it is the rarest 106 model ever produced with just 500 examples being sold in the UK. The philosophy behind the car was simple, make it light and give it enough power and it will fly. In standard form the 8valve TU produces 103bhp at 6200rpm from its 1.6 litres. This allows the 10% heavier 120bhp GTi to gain the advantage in a straight line, but with reduced weight and Identical braking force (less ABS) the rallye is better through the corners. Thanks to being purchased as second cars many Rallyes are still around and in excellent condition. Many have been modified beyond the original specifications, and some have been butchered by the boy racing scene.

Same could be said about alot of 70's and 80's Japanese cars. Hell, even the likes of the Austin Metro and Renault 5 are classics now.

EDIT: It's best this thread is moved into the motors section, as it will probably end up being a pissing match of what's considered a classic and what isn't!

Probably that Toyota Carina II that I saw at the Terenure show last year might have something to do with it.
