dt_ 7 Posted June 30, 2014 Hi all Noticed there was a few scabs of surface rust on the inner wing, but had a poke about this afternoon and developed a few holes. It's coming away from the wing, and there's a big hole near the engine mount (engine mount is solid). What's the best option for this? Ill also mention the car seems so leak oil from the head gasket down the back of the block, and both crankshaft oil seals. The sills are a bit scabby, there is some more underneath the fuel tank and the boot floor is sound but a bit rusty underneath. Debating whether start looking for a new one or pour some money into her. It's an n/a diesel 3 door with 145k. After a bit of encouragement or advice.

dt_ 7 Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah, not too fussed about the engine stuff, just not sure if it will pass an mot like that. If it will then ill get saving for a repair. Considering having a 306 engine fitted, heard its not too difficult... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted June 30, 2014 Yes in needs fixing, but id just put t through an MOT, and see what it needs to pass. Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dt_ 7 Posted June 30, 2014 Hi Matt, the MOT isn't till Christmas, but agree it needs fixing, not least because water will splash onto the back of the headlight and potentially the alternator. I've kurusted it all for now to stop it advancing too much before I can get time to get it repaired. 99% sure the other wing is just as bad aswell so will get both sides done. Had another look, the boot floor is solid but scabby, and so are the sills so I think I can save them Anyone here swapped out the xud7 for an xud9t in a 205? Have looked at the engine and there is no loom/ecu to worry about so in theory could be quite easy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
