Long shot I know but does any one know of a Peugeot 206 convertible for sale locally . Not car of my choice but my niece has set her heart on one . any suggestions on what is out there welcome !
Thanks
There is usually one parked on wallasey dock Rd with a for sale sign on it. I think it is around the £700 mark. Looks quite tidy from what I've seen of it. If you come across Duke St bridge to the lights and turn right you will see it,that is if you come from Birkenhead side.
Just check the roof for leaks we bought a 307cc and it was great for a few weeks then Niagara falls every time it rained .you have to clean the seals every few months to keep them water tight
thanks I will go to have a look !
There is one in Runcorn on shpock
If you want a thorough diagnostic doing on one before you buy, give me a shout.
Its quite easy for someone to plug in a cheap code reader to turn off the engine management light to hide a fault, but the diagnostic equipment I have reads the entire car's history!
I was looking at a 106 for the OH. It had an airbag light on. The seller (a trader operating from his driveway) said that he'd knocked the wiring under the seats when hoovering a few days ago and it had just come on.
My diagnostic equipment showed that the light had been on for several thousand miles.
Look out for any dash lights not lighting up and going off - airbag and ABS ones are the most common ones that get covered over with electrical tape behind the dash.
Check that the display screen in the centre of the car is working - people disconnect it or pull out the bulbs to hide error messages.
Check the roof opens and closes OK. Roof faults are usually down to a broken or chafed wire.
Check that the leading edge of the boot liner screen isn't bowed.
There are plenty around, so shop around and get one with good service history. Avoid diesel engined ones as they will only have been used for local short journeys and will have DPF and EGR problems.
Other than that, the 206 is a good car. You'll see lots of early models still running around which is a testament to their quality.
