I BOUGHT A CHEAP PEUGEOT 207 FROM AUCTION !

Hi guys hope you enjoy this latest video of one of my purchases from Auction (aston barclay). Apologies for the quality of the film on this one, accidently filmed it in 24fps 🙈🙈 Anyhow enjoy 👍👍👍👍

Had a 2012 (62plate) 207 1.6vti auto, 5 miles on the clock had it for 6 years and racked up a fair few miles travelling regularly between Cardiff and Corby, only issue I ever had was a sensor failing. Was an absolute brilliant car, if it wasn't for disability issues getting in/out I'd really believe I'd still have it today. Great and informative video as always 🤘

hi john for years i always sold cars from my workshop a few at a time then fix some more up etc, mostly sold to locals but on occasion would put the odd one on autotrader. i also put the odd car on sale or return with other car lots i know. however i am setting up a full time site which will be open august. will update then how to find me

[@split_pin]

Looks a really tidy wee car that, looks cared for as you say. I completely agree about giving the Prince engine a swerve. I had a Mini Cooper R56 with one fitted. Lovely car, nice spec but the engine always had issues, the biggest being valve stem seals. As a result it went through o2 sensors every 6 months as it smoked them out. I nursed it along for 2 years just topping up the oil until it blew out all its coolant in McDonalds car park one evening and that was that 😂 I replaced it with a Civic MK8 diesel.

My Dad bought ours at 2 years old , he never noticed the glovebox is Air conditioned , in the glovebox there's a vent obviously open and close. By closing the vent I'm positive it helped when closed inside the car. My Dad hasn't had Air conditioned touched in well over 5 years. Now we have it I'm going to get it done might as well keep up with the Air con. Ours has 63,000 but my Dad is a pensioner so maybe why it's reasonably low.

[@Paul-wz1fl]

Hi Lee love every video you post. Can I ask for a little help. I have a 2007 astra H 1.9 CDTI engine. Cleaned the throttle body valve removed it for the clean. Could see the inlet manifold has lots of carbon built up. Don't want to take the inlet off car as it seems to be a big job. Can I ask would it be ok to disconnect the air intake pipe and spray carb cleaner through the throttle body valve into the inlet manifold and have the engine at 2000 revs as I do it. Would this be safe and would it help decarb the manifold. Please help.

[@carukchannel]

If you spraying a little bit at a time it would make some difference, I use the JLM cleaner personally when cleaning out throttle bodies but you need to spray a little at time and avoid pinking the engine to much. However if its built up badly then sadly the only way will be to remove it and get it cleaned off the car. Also note on the CDTI engines of this period some of them 150bhp models had swirl flap manifold systems that break up (made of plastic) and causes running and lag issues and can put the car into limp mode.

[@Paul-wz1fl]

Hi Lee thank you for taking time to reply. One more question if you please. If I get jml cleaner for the inlet manifold when all the soot goes to the exhaust would it block the catalyst converter) cheers

[@carukchannel]

@@Paul-wz1fl The cleaner is a solvent and will mainly combust in the chamber with the carbon deposits it breaks up. I would not be to worried about blocking a cat up. There are plenty of videos on YT about the jlm product and shown how to use it and it working. worth a look

I have just inherited one of these 207's on a 07 plate with a 1.4 petrol 90ps 'Sport' allegedly 5 door with 97k on the clock and MOT until March. I got it from my employer as it was a car he had lying around as he dabbled in car sales now and then but our mainline of work is road haulage. I currently own an ex Royal Mail Vauxhall Combo 1.3cdti on 59 plate. I just spent a little fortune to get it through a clean MOT in September. Then driving into work last weekend. The engine cut out at 70mph and now has no compression. I was concerned about my van being terminal. However, after driving this little pug around the doors since yesterday. It cost me nothing yet accept £20 in Petrol and the deposit on insurance. But I dont think its that bad. Its better than I expected. I was expecting it drive like a scrap car as it was destined for the scrap yard. But, I think I might just keep this and scrap my little van instead. The brakes are a bit spongey and handbrake appears to only work on one wheel. But a FREE car which I was just going to use couple weeks as I work away all week as a wagon driver. I might even see how much to get a new MOT on it when it comes up see if its worth fixing up. I am impressed

Great car for the money , Also ive got to be careful , took my car to a local mechanic just to have shocks and springs fitted but when i got it back they have broken the plastic trim above top mounts and the windscreen wipers are sitting too high at rest now , not good , may just buy a new car next year on finance as the mechanics where i live are not trustworthy
